27.10.2024 - Sunday SOTN

  • Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: snapped KCG
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Texas on Fire
  • Post-Shave: Capanova Natural aftershave repair balm

-> 1 pass head shave. It was fast 'cause it was late, but a good shave overall.

Smokey Stirling goodness never disappoints. This stuff smells like the aftermath of a raging fire; something very fitting for this time of the year, as we had big autumn fires at the end of October when I was a child. This only ended after they were forbidden due to the many accidents and wildfires they caused...

This soap causes no burn however. The new ASB does (damn alcohol), but only for a very short moment.

An important question

Does anyone know what happened to @[email protected] ??? The recent question about body shaving on our instance made me realise how we sorely miss someone like them with their body shaving knowledge. Their last post is from over a year ago... I really hope they are ok. 😥

I’ve been very curious about this soap for a while but haven’t pulled the trigger.

Is it primarily wood smoke, or do you get other notes as well?
