Aftershave: Stirling Soap Company Alighieri

Alighieri is so good! Lol. Not much else needs to be said. Though not explicitly a "Fall" fragrance, I find that it fits right in quite nicely. Don't believe me? Shave with it and you'll see.

The scent is inspired by Fahrenheit for Men from Dior and is a wonderfully complex scent that's warm, spicy, and deep. I highly recommend you not pass this one up as it will have you feeling good and turning heads.

If you're familiar with Stirling's soap then you know how slick the lather gets. It's a quality that I always look forward to when getting ready to use a Stirling soap. The residual slickness it has really does go a long way to preventing nicks and ultimately provides me with consistent great shaves.

Aylsworth sells a couple of the best razors out there. No B.S. The Kopparkant being one of them. And if you ask me, simply put, it's a badass razor. I'm super happy with the plus plate and recommend it if you like a touch of blade feel. It's not overly aggressive but if you're worried there's always the original base plate for you to consider.

I did three passes with a Parker blade installed. This being its third use the blade has been holding up well. It has genuinely impressed me. It probably won't replace my go-tos but I have no reservations using them.

That's all for today. Take care and enjoy your shaves.
