After the usual hot shower prep:
MÜHLE Silvertip Fibre
'Webly'/Permasharp super (NOS)
Nanny's vanilla cream & goat's milk olive oil shave soap
Weleda after shave balm
Marmite sandwich
Finally got around to using the Stahly head on a weber classic handle. It's an interesting design, I especially like the safety bar which unlike most other razors, is actually a bar. It's a smooth, comfortable shaver but still effective enough. I think you'd really have to try hard to get a nick or a cut with this head.
If anyone has an urge to try it, get your name added to the pass around list. It's worth giving this one a go.

Hot shower
Hot flannel
Nannys Warm Spice hard soap scuttle lathered
Simpson Commodore X3 best badger brush
Gillette NEW short comb
Gillette 7 o'clock Indian Black (1)
Cold rinse
Thayers Lavender witch hazel
Old Spice sensitive aftershave
Good shave all well no drama. I normally change razor when I change blade (after 3 shaves) today I carried on with the same razor but with a 7 o'clock black to compare with the 7 o'clock green from yesterday. The Old Spice I found in my store of shaving stuff it must be 20 yrs old :icon_eek: very nice I must say :angel:

First outing for the Stirling splash, now I love menthol and this didn't disappoint. My face literally ached it was so cold! My hands 20 minutes later can still feel it! Lovely aftercare very impressed.

Second go with the R41 …
Hot towels
Olive Oil/Essential Oil PSO
Palmolive Shaving Cream
Pure Badger Brush
Muhle R41
Astra Super Platinum [1]
Hot Rinse
Cold Rinse
Alum Wash
Witch Hazel/Essential Oil Tonic
Jovan Musk Aftershave Lotion
Two pass - WTG & ATG
To be absolutely frank, I found this a bit tough. My first run with the R41 was with a Feather and I absolutely loved it! I think I have a second perfect combination there - my first being the Merkur 23C with a SuperMax Blue Diamond.
Still, two passes … can't complain at that. The R41 mowed through three days of growth, not silently nor effortlessly this time, but did. No issues.

Damn fine shave, super close and smooth. Kiehls ultimate balm is one I'd recommend, on the thicker side and a little goes a long way.
