Temps are finally warming with the skies clear (major flooding in our area in the last two weeks). I felt like something refreshing, uplifting and hopefully spring/summer like. These items fit the bill perfectly for a relaxing Sunday shave.

Sunday
Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Port-au-Prince (mutton tallow)
Soap: Stirling Gentleman
Razor: Gillette Fatboy
Blade: Vintage 70’s Gillette Platinum Plus (Shave #11)
Brush: Whipped Dog Silvertip-24mmx52mm
Aftershave: Stirling Gentleman

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

Stirling Gentleman today. 20 seconds to load the Whipped Dog Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus still in the Gillette Fatboy. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Stirling Gentleman aftershave.

Bufflehead a1a and CRSW MF
This was part of a pass around and my first try of Bufflehead soap. The scent is rose mostly to my nose, but other things are there too. I like the scent. The performance was very good. I also tried CRSW Fougere Moderne balm and I like how it takes just a little and absorbs quickly and cleanly. These are both solid products. I later added a bit of Casablanca splash because the soap scent reminded me of the rose tobacco.
Prep: Chattilon Lux Butter
Soap: Bufflehead a1a
Brush: BB Bronze Shadow
Razor: Futur (6)
AS: Cold River Soap Works Fougere Moderne Balm, CK Casablanca splash

Shake Sharp (Permasharp²) vs Shovelhead (Blue Star), both appropriately shimmed. Wonderful shave, both very close and comfortable, I'm again thinking the SS side is a tad smoother on the crown. Not pushing these carbon blades too far makes me appreciate how good these razors could be.
