  • 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!

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! πŸ™Œ

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.

December 7, 2024 - Stirling Saturday

  • Brush: AP Shave Co Summer 28mm G5C

  • Razor: ERN 7/8 Full Hollow Round Point

  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Sharp Dressed Man - Soap

  • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. - Sharp Dressed Man - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


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.

Ha! I didn't even notice, we had an unintentional Stirling chain today. πŸ‘

  • Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with unbleached 26 mm Zenith knot set at 56 mm loft
  • Razor: BΓΆker – Abalone (6/8", full hollow, carbon steel, French point)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Satsuma
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Satsuma
  • Fragrance: Acqua di Parma – Blu Mediterraneo Arancia di Capri

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.
