A fantastic shave, after yesterday's shave I honestly could have skipped today, it was so close. With that said I had a mild shave today and it was a great shave. The brush lathers like a champ, wee bit of scratch but great backbone and release. The soap lathers wonderfully but the scent is a bit mild, I got the best sniff of scent out of it as I was rinsing my bowl at the end.
 
Excellent shave this morning with my new (and first) Stirling soap.

Such a beautiful sunny morning, I decided that I needed a menthol hit and the soap was perfect with just the right amount of menthol (cooling but not burning).

P & B Spitfire
PAL Injecto-Matic
Schick Japan single [ 12 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tuff Green A/S lotion

As a change from trials and tribulations with modern SE/Injectors revisited the Injecto-Matic.
The blade has lasted well and despite my heavy beard,still delivers a most smooth and comfortable
Shave, which is also nice and close all-round. Glad I got a few more of these blades as they are really
suited to this Razor, and seem to last longer than the cheaper Chicks. Afraid the Personna does not work at all well for me in most razors.That P&B is great for Lather, so easy to generate quickly straight
from the puck.

That is great usage from a blade, I have a mag of 10 of these Japanese blades, I think from what you say about them I shall have to find some more.

This morning was the maiden voyage for the brass General. Three passes with minimal touch ups left me with a near perfect shave. The General is one of the smoothest artist club razors I have used. It felt mild but was very efficient. Overall I am very impressed .

Great picture Clint, the razor looks great, Will you polish yours or let it go natural? Good to hear it gave you a good shave. :)

Mastro Livi Kamisori, 13/16 French Point, Hakkapella Damasteel, Abalone Handle

Kamisori shave is always fascinating, add to this the beauty and super performance of a Mastro Livi kamisori, you simply get a stellar top notch shave. This kamisori has the exclusive Mastro Livi kamisori grinding, giving the omote side of the blade an extra cutting performance than a traditional Japanese kamisori. Not to mention the mesmerizing Damasteel Hakkapella pattern and the abalone handle, this Mastro Livi kamisori is an incredible masterpiece. I am also very happy about my home made almond oil shaving cream proving to be incredible with a supple, round, moisturizing and very protective lather. This Mastro Livi Super Silvertip Badger brush easily mounted a perfect and rich lather. The finishing touch has been delivered by my homemade Bay Rum aftershave I made with real dark rum and real pimenta racemosa leaves.​

What a beautiful soap,..lathered up in the bowl a treat,...great scent, cushion and glide....Highly recommended!
The S2 is a superb performer, responds well to slightly diagonal strokes, I find,...maybe it helps the slant, some may find differently.
A coupla weepers, (..wounds from a previous shave), but the alum did its job.
Super shave,...onward and upward.

I feel a case of RAD on the horizon, after new boiler trying to economise. But it does look good in a shaving scenario.
