Very nice shave. I took the Russian Bear back on the stones, and the result was quite good. Also, the Stirling soap base is better (or maybe I have simply figured it out better) than the Père Lucien basic soap base. Anyways, me face feels well.

Have a good day!

Something New Saturday - This soap is the one TCB put out for the fbook musk challenge. It's musky. The base is fantastico. The surprising but was that the after sauce is more oil than alcohol. This didn't turn out bad at all just closer to an EdT in scent power.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This is the second time I've used The Cutter. Great soap base as always, and I like the scent off the tub, but I seem to go nose blind to it during the shave. The same thing occurs with the splash. My sense of the fragrance goes away almost as soon as I apply it. Weird!

I absolutely love this brush. I have 49 shaves on it since I started tracking in SDS ~mid-2025, and probably another 50+ prior to that.

It's like a well broken in pair of jeans. Completely comfortable.
