Stirling Soap 316 Stainless Steel Razor

Someone else, I just can’t recall at the moment.

With this upcoming razor into the very crowded 3-piece market stainless steel razors we certainly have plenty to choose from. As I see it we already have Razorock GameChanger/Mamba, Blackland, AboveTheTie and Rockwell with upcoming releases for Rocnel (came and gone in a blink), Karve, Charcoal Goods and Paradigm (rumored), and of course Raw Shaving (discontinued) and Wolfman (good luck catching these releases).

Did I miss any other companies that are  making SS (not pot or cast metal or house brand/cheap Chinese versions) available at this time or have pending releases ?

Carbon, Edwin Jagger there may be others.

Yea, the EJ.

Edwin Jagger just released an all stainless razor, the 3ONE6. Also there is the Feather AS-D2. The PAA DOC Ascension. And the Janus, toggle clone.

I had brought up a question to Stirling on another forum and had asked if he could give us a bit more info in regards to the razor if it would have positive, neutral or negative blade exposure. Stirling stated it was positive and to me that's a good thing. Might not be recommended for a newbie or a mild shave chaser but, for those with a taste for a bit of blade feel while still maintaining good smoothness, this might be right up one's alley. I know for me it is..... Woo-Hoo!!!

ezlovan should be posting over here too.

I didn’t like what handle looks

I’m pretty excited about this razor as I have a friend who’s been part of the testing group that Stirling put out there. He’s not sure how many people they choose to use the razor but his evaluation so far using it over a couple of weeks is that the mild plate is about as efficient as a Charcoal Goods Level 3 SB and the more efficient baseplate is comparable to an Ikon Shavedraft Tech but noticeably smoother. If this is accurate or even close to accurate I’m all in even though I’m not crazy about the handle and would probably change it. Price is supposedly around $100 for the brushed finish and a bit more for the high polished. So based on his comments I’d agree with GlazedBoker Gus that this razor is probably not for a new wet shaver but more of an experienced person.
Hope they do a pass around.

So this and the new high polished Timeless Titanium are on my most interested bucket list.

Couldn't agree with you more brother. And if that type of razor performance is being reported, then this Stirling offering is bringing a big stick to the table and going up against some serious blade forward but smooth operators in the razor efficiency wars. Which, to be honest can only be a good thing. Stakes are raised, competition gets fierce for the almighty consumer dollar and price competitiveness is spread across the board among manufacturers. Except perhaps for the Uber Niche manufacturers which make their products in super low numbers and are nearly works of art such as Wolfman, Charcoal Goods and Timeless to a certain extent, it's awesome for us to actually start to pick and choose where our tastes and wallets guide us.

Nothing wrong with that at all. And yes, I'm on the same page concerning the Ti Timeless Polished that will surface soon. I geared up for the Janus project but, that is on hold for the time being. That Ti from Timeless though has my undivided attention for sure....
