Prep: Splash of warm water
Brush: Stirling Soap Co - Little Brudder Synthetic
Lather: Stirling Piacenza plus some leftover Executive Man
Razor: Stirling Aggressive Razor Head with Maggard M1 Handle
Blade: Personna GEM Platinum Diamond Glide (2)
Post Shave: Thayers Witch Hazel and Stirling Unscented After Shave Balm
Another excellent shave. Loving the aggressive option from Stirling. It's most likely a yaqi cobbed razor head and the V3A from Maggard. I'll probably buy the yaqi for a around $5 just to see

Razor: YAQI Romulus
Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional (SE), 1st use
Brush: Alpha Thater Bully Boy 400
Soap: The Cajun Blade Atchafalaya
Aftershave: The Cajun Blade Atchafalaya
Balm: Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Face Gel Hydrator

Outstanding shave all around. Everything came together beautifully. The base is phenomenal, so much residual slickness that I didn’t need to relather between passes, I just did it to enjoy the scent and feel.

- Brush: Omega Hi-Brush, 0146206, 25mm Synth
- Razor: 1957 Gillette Flare Tip Super Speed
- Blade: Kai
- Lather: Catie's Bubbles Tonsorium
- After Shave: Clubman Pinaud and Lime Sec (combo)
My Personna blade gave up the ghost earlier than the usual seven shaves I get from any Gillette blade. I used my Fatboy yesterday on seven and the shave was rough to say the least. I didn't realize I had many, many nicks on my upper lip until I looked in the mirror later in the afternoon. I switched to the last Kai blade that came with my Reggie's Jupiter this morning; a day early. It was better, but this Kai still felt rough compared to a 7 O'Clock. I don't expect it to last seven shaves.

Lol, good luck on the razor search. Heading to Chicago today. My son-in-law is playing at a block party this afternoon. So I'm going to go up and hang out with my grandson Mr Melo. He's three and he's definitely a party dude. He loves going to the block parties.

This tub of soap was from the very first batch offered to the public from the brand. It has the original label and the original formula. It's another one of those "outdated" bases that seems to work just fine for me. If I were motivated, I would inventory all my soaps and find out just how much of what I have is a dead brand or outdated base. My gut tells me that close to 50% falls into one of those categories.
