    Straight up carved my upper lip and had to reach for the styptic, been awhile since I've gotten a cut like that. Brush feels better than I remember.

    Sample scoop 1 of 8. I'm no fougere expert, but damn this smells good. Stirling's mutton base always makes my face happy.

    Have a great Friday!

    Tub Kill! u/visceralwatch

    This is my 28th career tub kill, and this brings my tub count down to 28. Yin, yang, etc.

    From April 5th to September 25th this razor has been on the road doing a pass-around. I'm glad it made it back to me because I like this razor a ton, and Italian Barber doesn't ship to the USA anymore (for now?). 6 months and 13 participants later and it still looks like new.

    This shave was excellent. 10/10.

    Just lovely. I may need to pick up the rest of the Stirling Gentleman set at some point. It's a pleasantly subdued tobacco scent.
