July 12th, 2025: Straight no chaser
- Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
- Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive 'Moarteen' (15)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Haverford - Soap
- Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Sni Mato - Aftershave
I thought this shave went decently well until I put the aftershave on... woof! After using a DE for a little while in order to finish a marathon, I'm getting back into other types of razors. Shaving with a straight isn't much like riding a bike.
Yet another plug for the new version of the SDS. Some nice updates if I do say so!

Give it some time 🙂 After a DE shave, my skin feels slightly raw on application of a splash. I don't get this after a shave with a straight razor. Neither type of razor gives me irritation.

- Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
- Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. - Mountain Man - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
The Stirling Mountain Man/Creed Silver Mountain Water combo was perfect for a hot and humid day here in Maryland. Todays shave was a test of my first edge from my new Olympus Stone. The stone provided an excellent quality edge overall. It felt to me very much like an edge from a dense Black Arkansas stone, though the makeup and feel of these two stones is very different. I look forward to much more experience with this Olympus Stone.
