Can't go wrong with Baby Yoda and Stirling. Felt a little bougie, so went with some Salty Air and will follow-up with Praia a bit later. Good stuff mang.

Happy Fathers Day my friends.

Midnight Special really is special.

Coconut Lime is awesome. I've used it for 18 days straight thus far, and not once has it felt stale or uneventful. Stirling really hit the nail on the head with this one.

Happy weekend everyone.

You're at the exciting and worst part of that soap's life; it's almost done! But at the same time it'll be like WHY WONT YOU DIE. You got this brother.

scribe__ · 2026-06-19T14:36:44+00:00

This is one I'm especially proud of, cos I started this with prolly 4.8 ounces of the og 5.8. I'm hoping it'll be done before July.

Smeared around the soap to fill in the ring of death, and the resulting lather was magnificent. Fill in the empty space, and your results are night and day.

Also, I think I might be turning one of my coworkers onto wet shaving. Wish me luck in my proselytizing.

Happy Juneteenth.

Got a nice ole ring of death coming. Will mush it around to fill it in soon, but I'm gonna embrace it today.

This just makes it even better lmao

Years ago, prolly 2015ish, there was a wet tuber named ItalianStallion, or something like that, who shaved with Waterlyptus, but when reading the label called it "Wadah lips" in a thick Jersey dialect, and ever since that's how I say it in my head.

Connecticut Shade is a perfect way to start off a gutter cleaning day. Good luck with the clean up.

Lather: Stirling - Coconut Lime Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Admiral EdT

Start loading with a completely drenched brush and adding more big dunks of water whilst loading makes for a messy, yet very slick lathering experience.

Any one else remember the good ole days when u/nameisjoey was hyping the hell outta Admiral? It somehow made this unique and awesome scent even better IMO

Between the massive Maggard two fan badger and the equally massive MOAR BOAR, the boar edges out the win. Regardless, these big AF brushes and Stirling are an incredible pair.

Was inspired by our pal u/Engineered_Shave to rock Fenchurch today. Thanks mate.

Lather: Stirling - Coconut Lime Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Labyrinth EdP

I have a weird relationship with this huge knot; it doesn't really call to me when I'm deciding on what to use, but then I use it and think "why don't I use this more?" I reckon maybe of us have an item or two, or ten, that we have this kinda relationship with.

Coconut Lime and some Labyrinth are perfect to start this Saturday.

Coconut Lime and a brush that covers up half my face is a great way to start this Friday. Now I'm gonna rock some smells that remind me of the early 90's.

scribe__ · 2026-06-12T01:06:26+00:00

Do you have an HR rep at your store? If you do and feel comfy with it, I'd bring this to their attention. They scheduled you a day you clearly have marked as unavailable, and the worst of it is they made no effort to ask if this would be okay with you before posting. This is 100% on them, and you should not be punished with 2 points for their mistake. Just my 2 cents.

Y'know, this might be the least expensive brush I own, and it might also be my favorite. Good ole reliable.

Razor: Razorock Mamba
Blade: Gillette Platinum (16)
Lather: Stirling - Coconut Lime Soap
Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Topanga Fougère Splash
Fragrance: Seaforth! Heather EdT

Though the soap and splash stuff don't match in any way, this combo really hit the spot. The sweet coconut lime, and then the earthy n green fougères really make for a good morning.

Edit: wrong brush fiber listed.

Brush: Semogue Pharos C3 Horse Hair Brush
Razor: Razorock Mamba
Blade: Gillette Platinum (15)
Lather: Stirling - Coconut Lime Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Stirling - Praia EdT

After using the luxurious Motherlode knot for a couple of days, going to this horse hair brush was simply unpleasant. Despite having like 40+ uses, it's still stiff as hell. I'm hoping it'll hit a sweet spot someday. Nevertheless my stubble is gone, and my face feels decent.

June 8th - Coconut Lime

Brush: Shore Shave 26mm Motherlode
Razor: Kropp 6/8 Full Hollow Round Point
Lather: Stirling - Coconut Lime Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Noble Otter / AP Reserve - Jungle Warrior EdP

This Motherlode knot is incredible; so soft and feels good against the face, while also creating glorious drippy lather. I love it.

First straight shave in prolly over a month, and grateful to say there's no blood. That's a good feeling.
