Monday Evening Injector Shave

Razor: Schick J
Blade: sChick (9)
Brush: WCS Synthetic
Soap: Stirling Soap Co. -- Eucalyptus Mint
A/S: Proraso green


I gave my tube of Proraso cream to a new shaver, so I purchased the Stirling Eucalyptus Mint sample to compare. The Stirling soap is a much brighter and minty soap than the classic Proraso. The cooling effect of the mint is also a bit stronger than the grand Italian standard. Reminds me a bit of a Soap Commander Vision, another favorite of mine, but not as aquatic. I dislike menthol in soap as it reminds me of menthol cigarettes. The mint is very fresh, very cooling, and just delightful.
