Yesterday when I shaved my brain was tired. I had vaca scheduled for this past week, but had to cancel due to work timelines. It was also my regular Friday off … and I had to work. Not only that, I am working again today. Not as many hours today though. All of that to say that I wanted to give this soap another try.

Went with an early morning shave and it was very nice. This soap loads quickly and produces a great lather. The slickness and residual slickness are very nice also. But the post shave feel from yesterday brought me back today. Had three very smooth passes with the Aust and I am BBS for the win! Very nice. I wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain. A nice, relaxing shave with a good soap and AS. Life is good!

Home Front-
The missus is continuing to improve and is well on her way. She is almost back to 100%. Thank you everyone for the thoughts, prayers and well wishes. And so far, Turbo hasn’t torn anything up yet. I’ll take it.

And yet again, that's wonderful news about the missus Tim.  Glad to hear it!

Started the day off with a very nice shave. This was the last use of this sample and I have really liked it. If I didn’t have MWF and Stirling Sheep, I would definitely buy this one. Had a couple of errands today and bought a new shop vac. Other than that, just a much needed chill day. Life is good!

Nice, you deserve a break Tim !

I was the other way around, had Stirling Beeswax and got a sample of Sheep. Being unscented soaps only, I did recently receive a tub of Sheep to put the remains of my sample in! Good stuff. Never tried MWF, but Sheep lathers very rich, I find. Naked and Smooth is ok, but I don't find it as awesome as the other 2 Stirling unscented soaps. But hey, Rod makes THREE unscented soaps! Who else does that??!!

Thanks Dave!

IKR? I agree, I like the Sheep and Unscented with Beeswax. MWF is not scentless, but has a light scent that can easily be covered. But I would be more than happy with just the Stirling soaps.

Happy Hump Day! Another very nice early morning shave. I missed posting yesterday, but not the shave. I am running the same kit this week, just because I have been kinda off and on with doing that recently. And I haven’t used Baker Street in a lond time, so it got the nod. Today was a three pass BBS for the win! Life is good!

Home Front-
So far Turbo hasn’t done much damage this week. She did find a wall corner, in the hallway, that was tasty. She chewed about a 4” section, so maybe she is missing some minerals in her diet. That’s all I have at the moment.
