SOTD Stirling SEptember 16th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
RazoRock ECO
Crown Super Stainless
WWB Talleyrand (26mm, Frigate Class)
Stirling Deep Blue Sea soap and AS

Half way through the month and I finally got in my first SE shave. The RazoRock ECO doesn't use a typical SE blade though, instead is uses ½ of a DE blade. The head geometry of the ECO makes it's feel like a traditional SE in use, however. I was able to shave with a very shallow angle with the ECO. Additionally head of the razor does not introduce any bend to the blade instead it is clamped flat in the head. Despite this, and having some significant blade reveal, I didn't notice any chatter and the blade felt quite stiff, much like a traditional SE. The Crown blade struggled a little bit on the first past with my heavy weekend growth but after that was quite smooth and after three passes the baby was in the house! My face felt really good after this shave. Being able to shave at such a shallow angle really keeps any irritation at bay. I finished off with a healthy splash of the DBS AS and I'm feeling and smelling like a million bucks on this fine Monday morning. Have a great day my friends!
