    First use with the Occam's. I jumped on the opportunity when a discord member decided to move his.

    I'm not sure yet how much I like it. I struggled a bit finding and maintaining the right angle at first, but I ended up getting a good enough evening shave. So no red flags, no love at first shave.

    • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
    • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 (II-plate)
    • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Rasoi Goodfellas Gold Club
    • Post-Shave: OAM witch hazel & cucumber toner; benecos 2in1 aftershave & face balm

    2 passes on the head, one on the face around my circle beard (back to my old style - let's see for how long before I get tired of it again).

    It's December already. Crazy. This year really goes by fast... Since everyone is now full-on in Christmas mode and I totally despise the season, I went for a little relaxing shave.

    This is an elusive soap - back in the day, Rasoi Goodfellas tried something like A&E with "The Club" and went with a subscription model to their site like amazon prime. Since they are the main importers of american wetshaving artisans like Stirling, A&E and a few others, they commissioned a soap from Rod just for their members. AFAIK, it's a dupe of Bvlgari Men in Black. Kinda hard to tell, as this is not the usual level of Stirling's fragrance strength. It's very faint, but still pleasant. Of course, the whole Gold Club thing never really took off and they shut it down - and offered everyone their oh so exclusive special soap. I got this one during some kind of sale. Usual Stirling base, so performance was solid. But nothing that wows me.

    My face still needs to adjust to having blade contact, so I went easy with just a WTG pass. Not really a smooth feeling there at all, but it'll do. 🤔
