Not a great deal to go at this morning after yesterdays super-close shave.
A nice lather from the Proraso SB cream, easily mixed with the Yaqi Horsey synth, its just so easy to get a great lather from a synth.
I completed a single pass using WTG & ATG strokes with a little touch up on the chin and whirlpools for a DFS++ finish.
A nice post shave routine setting me up for the day.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Stirling Baker Street
Schick Type I1
Schick S/S Twin - Japan [ 2 ]
Alcolado Glacial A/S Splash

This really is a tremendous Razor when fitted with a Twin Blade. Today with Two Days of heavy growth, the Shave was really smooth and I got an ultra close all round finish with no problems. The secret of use is to use quite short and slow deliberate strokes to get the best out of the blade.Do not use the Stirling soap much, but find it to be very good to work with.

I’m returning to an Old Spice shave, featuring, er Old Spice and a sample of Stirling Soap’s Stirling Spice in the Old Spice shaving mug. The last time I used the combination, it was very enjoyable. This time was great too. I'll be ordering a full tub when it's back in stock.

I selected the Feather AS-D2 and unusually I matched it with a Shark Chrome blade, of which as you can see, I now have an adequate supply. It did a good job, although as it's some time since I used the AS-D2, I managed to nick my upper lip, as I over did the angle correction. Apart from that I was BBS after 2.5 passes, which I count as two passes and ATG on the neck.

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves.

Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Shark Chrome (2)
Soap: Stirling Soap Stirling Spice
Brush: Yaqi Purple Haze
Pre-shave: PAA Cube
Post-shave: Old Spice
Bowl: Face lather
