SOTD Adjustable April 25th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
'82 Gillette Super Adjustable @ 7
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless(3)
Yaqi Ruby Red (24mm finest, Frigate Class)
Stirling Island Man Soap and AS

I know I know, not the best color combination. But I wanted to use both my new Yaqi brush and Stirling soap set. First off let me say, this brush is gorgeous! Its finish has far far exceeded my expectations! Not bad for $25 eh ? The knot is also night and day better (for me) compared to the silver tip. It has nice backbone (though not as much as my 30mm Maseto or my 35mm Doug Korn), a little bit of scrub but still nice soft tips(but not gel tips). I guess two band knots are just my thing. The Stirling Island man is an amazingly wonderful scent. I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but this has enough other things going on that really make it spectacular. Glacial level After shave? Oh Yeah! I guess I'm becoming a bit of a menthol head. Here'ss my take on the scent:

It starts off with a strong coconut and rum note and then somewhere in the background you get a hint of tropical flowers and something a bit citrusy.

Have a great day my friends!
