  I noticed that everyone who posted before me today used a Stirling soap. Clearly I need to follow suit!

  I took my time and enjoyed this one. The razor has an Ozuku Jnat edge on it that feels so good you just have to take extra time.

  Saturday, December 07, 2024: Smoky Sample Saturday

  • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
  • Razor: RazoRock - Game Changer .76
  • Blade: Gillette - 7 O’Clock SharpEdge (1)
  • Lather: Stirling - Texas on Fire
  • Post: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber Aftershave splash
  • Post: Ginger’s Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Frag: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber EdP

  A comfortable close shave with the GC. I’m pretty sure this razor has replaced my Rockwell 6C.

  Lovely lather from Stirling as always, and I really enjoyed the smokiness of this fragrance. It’s not overpowering, and certainly not ‘like an ashtray’ as I’ve seen in other reviews. Thanks for the generous smush @DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social! 🙌

  Have a great Saturday y’all. It’s looking like it’ll be a beautiful one here.

    You’re welcome! Nice to hear that you enjoy the sample. It’s definitely not an ashtray to me either, but I can see why it’s a quite divisive scent - not many people can handle that much smoke.

  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (4)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Lavender Sage - Soap

  Great shave. I have some new samples from Berceuce (Will’s latest fragrance project) but my nose is still stuffy, so it’d be a waste to try them at this point. Soon, I hope!

  Really enjoying the bright happy orange juice of Satsuma. I know there are also spicy notes, but it’s mostly orange to me, and that’s just what I was looking for.
