  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations - Stars w/ AP G5C Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland - Blackbird
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose (r/wetshaving Special Edition) - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave

Think I've gotten a good handle of the Mutton base. I think in general Stirling just needs a lot more time to load and product in general to get the desired lather. Which is not a big deal because the pours are nice and big. Decided to work the Blackbird in rotation and had a very enjoyable experience with it today. I just need to remember it needs very light pressure. Decided on Moose again today because we're going to the county fair and the mutton funk will be an easy transition to farm smellz.
