Dave in KY's Videos and Hangout

Hope you have a good close to the weekend Dave! Great find on the Roller Guard with paperwork!

Thanks Chris, Paperwork from the web. No hard copy.

A very informative and interesting post, thanks for sharing. I love the history. Down the road, I wonder what the say of us, when they have their creams to prevent whisker growth? The Stirling razor has a classic look to it, real Old School.
A great Sunday to you!

STIRLING SHAVE
Monday March 15, 2021
Razor: Stirling Stainless 316L ST
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: Stirling Synthetic
Soap: Stirling Deton-8
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Stirling Deton-8
Fragrance: Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb

Well I took the Stirling out for a spin today and it was a flashback to the pass around as soon as I took the 1st stroke of the razor wtg. I Chose to purchase the ST head which although being called Standard Aggressive is anything but standard. If you're a beginner shaver it ain't for you and Rod makes that clear in his description on the site. He doesn't advertise the gap which from the pic you can see is huge even on the ST head. I agree that there is more to consider than gap. This razor has it all set for aggressiveness in geometry, gap as well as positive exposure of blade. I had regrets that I didn't get the full set and so reached out to Rod who is setting me up with the HA head as well. That said during the shave and feeling the big gap with positive blade exposure I wondered what I was thinking about adding the HA. Hey, a guy needs the whole set and I may use it also at times...............Maybe. At pass 2 I was feeling my face and thinking I really could/should stop and skip the Against The Grain pass......................................Nah, let's go for it. I knew if I didn't I wouldn't be happy with the results later in the day. I may try a 2 pass on another day and see how it goes, but today is a 12 hour day and I want to feel good throughout the whole day. I have to say I got an extremely close and smooth shave with just a tad of tenderness felt. Would I reach for this razor often? Probably not. Am I glad I got it? A resounding YES !! Will it stay indefinitely in the den ? I have no idea The Stirling Deton-8 is a Spicebomb dupe and I LOVE this scent. As Tim would say about the day and week, "Let's Kick this Pig!" Have a stupid fun day Everyone !!

Great shaves Dave! Deton-8 is definitely a fantastic scent and Stirling is always a pleasure to use.
