Another good warm weather setup.  The new razor handle is shorter than I usually prefer, but it was comfortable and easily controlled.

I have read nothing but good reviews about Stirling’s Margaritas in the Arctic and have been anxiously waiting to get my paws on some. Well that happened this week and so off we go!

Grabbed an all time favourite razor in the Merkur Mergress which I got from the Badger & Blade Saint Sue auction in 2018. A wonderful lady dearly missed and an even better cause as all funds raised go towards the fight against breast cancer. Loaded up with a fresh Kai Super Stainless and dialled into setting 3 this razor truly is the Ferrari of my den. I have never had a bad shave with my Progress much less the hot-rodded Mergress.

Now back to the soap of the day, Margaritas in the Arctic. Why on earth did I wait this long to get this soap??!’ I have no clue! Busy enjoying other scents? Abducted by aliens?! The scent is instantly a favourite, the performance certainly Stirling, but that glacial chill? Nulli Secundus!

I haven’t used the RazoRock Bruce in a long time and it was my first synth brush. It did very well with this soap and loaded beautifully with plenty of lather for three, super chilled passes. Fantastic BBS shave which was topped off with a healthy spritz of B&BW Citron. Oh my this shave will be hard to beat. However, I now have Stirling’s Sharp Dressed Man, Orange Chill and Southern Witchcraft’s Peach to get through! Good times indeed ahead.

It’s a long weekend here and much grilling is about to go down but not before I catch Bristol City and Leeds United on the box. Happy shaves all!
