SOTD February 13th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
EDRIO #21 PAL Adjustable
A Blade of unknown properties
Paladin Winston (26mm, Frigate Class)
Stirling Hipster soap and AS
Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB

I don't know any hipsters that smell this good! The scent of hipster is a clean citrus forward (grapefruit and bergamot) accord, with light florals, and a light, slightly woody base. The soap performed in typical Stirling awesomeness whipped up by the stiffer-then-it-looks Paladin Winston. The PAL Adjustable had a blade in it already and so I went with it, probably should have changed it out. By the third pass the blade gave up on cutting and so my shave finished somewhere above SAS and below DFS. Finished with some Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB followed by the Hipster AS. If you like grapefruit scents you really should check this one out, highly recommended! Have a great day my friends!!

Liebel/PolSilver. How much do I like this razor? I found myself laughing out loud at how smooth it is. I did an additional pass on my head, which was really unnecessary but I didn't want to stop. My impression is not quite as efficient as my Timeless Bronze but smoother.

Personna Super Platinum Chrome (1)
Chatillon Lux Sni Mato aftershave

An excellent shave with an underappreciated soap. Some believe that the Personna SPC is the same as the 74, but I don't think so; for me the SPC is just not quite as smooth. I think I like the aftershave, which seems to have an apricot note, but I'm not really sure yet.
