The Deets-
Nice morning shave and the Clauss was on deck again. I am digging this edge. It is both smooth and efficient. Thought I would go with the Nag Champa today, just because. It only took a minute to whip up a nice lather.

10 laps on linen and 40 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was a nice relaxing shave. Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Oh yeah, I am ready for the day. Life is good!

The Deets-
A really nice late morning shave and I may stick with this kit the whole work week. I really want to get back in that habit and I dig this scent. A somewhat wet brush whipped up a bunch of great smelling lather.

20 laps on linen and 40 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. I like the performance and the scents that Stirling offers. They really deliver. Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Oh man you know it. I am ready for the day. Life is good!

Another very nice shave with this kit. Also found out that the missus really likes this scent. That’s good because I was going to reorder once this one is gone. Anyway, three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! I have to go into the office tomorrow and we need to start going in more, but a flexible schedule. Life is good!
