  SOTD - 2026-01-25

  • Prep: Stirling Unscented Preshave Soap
  • Brush: Unbranded; synthetic (I think) kinda not a great brush but so far I SUCK at lathering with my boar brush, one moment my lather seems perfect the next moment it disappears completely…
  • Razor: Stirling de3p6s standard head
  • Blade: Astra SP green (3)
  • Lather: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Shave Soap
  • Alum: Stirling Travel Size Alum
  • Aftershave: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man Aftershave Splash
  • Balm: Taconic Aftershave Balm

  Taking down 8.5 days of growth, one pass WTG. I would say it was a socially acceptable shave, a bit more irritation than I was going for, not terribly close on the upper lip and parts of the neck. My lather was maybe (?) not dialed in well, or perhaps it was that this is the 3rd use of the blade. Not too bad anyway, and the alum combined with aftershave and balm helps a lot. Sharp Dressed Man is fine I guess, the shave soap smells like ivory soap to me but the aftershave is nice imo… Gf says it is OUT however. Deton-8 is the favorite so far.

  Sadly this shave is probably not close enough to guarantee I will not have to use a beard net at work tomorrow. I must do better…

    With boar brushes, you need probably MOAR soap

    I have an AP Shave Co Silksmoke synthetic brush that I’d be happy to give you if you’re CONUS. It’s nice, I just don’t really use it much.

    Lmk if you’re interested.

  Comfortable shave, but not as close as I’d like. I think my technique ATG needs the most work.

    After 19 shaves, the blade might also be not as sharp as it could be anymore 🤔

      Yeah I was also wondering that.

      How often do you typically touch up your edges? How often do you do a full rehone?

      I was hoping that a straight edge would last for quite some time as long as I strop regularly. Is this wishful thinking?

  I’m continuing my den tour. Bon Monsieur is a very fresh and likeable scent, in a top base. This was a close and comfortable shave, ending the weekend.

  Have a good evening!

  Incredible shave from this sharp and gentle edge. Promises evokes a bit of being outside in the snow, maybe running a snowblower or other small engine (or a snowmobile like the scent describes).

    Preparing for the incoming storm?

      Yes indeed. I’ve already cleared the driveway once and will probably have to go back out 2 or 3 more times by the time it’s done.
