Christmas Eve Shave
Blade: Schick Injector #2
Razor: Schick Injector
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: Alvarez Gomez Barberia shaving cream
Post: Izzey Myake aftershave Balm
EDT: Izzey Myake L'eau D'Issey
This razor performs amazingly. A really well weighted and nimble mini mowing machine. Ideal for all those awkward places.
Avoiding my chunk of chin I removed from yesterdays shave,
I had a sublime 3 pass irritation free BBS shave. I am going to buy some prolines to trial in this razor although I am extremely pleased with the Schick.
This is my 3rd use of the stirling and have been reading reports that some peoples brushes are shedding.
I would say I lost 3 hairs approx. per shave. I am not concerned about this at the moment and am sure it will hopefully settle down. It has plenty of backbone and the tips are softening nicely.
Flow through is not there yet as far as I am concerned as I put a considerable dollop of cream (more than usual) in the brush and it was only satisfactory for 2 full passes. I squeezed the brush to lather for my 3rd pass.
The cream is awesome stuff. A really thick consistency with a lovely scent and plenty of slick n slide.
Finished with balm and the glorious scented Izzey Myake.
Enjoy your shaves and Happy Christmas to one and all.
