Post: Stirling Oro Valley Ba & TEV 470

I have to admit I was a little more excited to break this out this morning than any grown human being should be in relation to Soap. Rod has not disappointed, the scent is spot on for me - I say for me as people with better noses may disagree but I couldn't tell the difference. The performance is standard Stirling, does the job with no fuss at an excellent price point.

The only thing I keep forgetting is the balm, I'm not a huge fan but that's just because I prefer splashes, but seeing as I couldn't get my hands on any it'll have to do. A little goes a long way, sadly I didn't use a little so initially I looked like an Elizabethan actor!

Not to worry though, well and truly chuffed. I prefer this to Lothurs offering, but that may just be because I've got the lathering down with Stirling.

I still have this TEV dupe to get through as well before cracking open the new TF. I suspect it'll take me a little while to get through it just because I decanted into roller ball dispensers and it seems to last an age that way.

Smooth and smelling good.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

A quick Pre-shave refresh of the edge on the CrOx Balsa paddle then 60 laps on the Westholme strop and i was ready to go.
I do like this Lea Cream, a great lather with a nice fresh/clean scent.
I completed my 2 pass shave routine with a little touch up here and there for a really nice finish, about 95% BBS. very happy with that.
I did get some fleeting indication from the Aqua Velva splash.
All in all a very happy shaver today.
Enjoy your day all.
