July 11, 2023 – Lather Games: Day 11  

  • Brush: Yaqi Synthetic  
  • Razor: Tatara Muramasa  
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet   
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man  
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man  

Stirling Island Man is a decent scent that is a dupe of Creed Virgin Island Water. I do not own the cologne, so I can’t speak to how closely Island Man resembles it. I will admit, it took me a few uses to like the scent. For some reason, it just didn’t resonate with me at first. I thought it smelled a bit synthetic. As I used it more, I guess it grew on me. Not my favorite, but I don’t mind using it now. It’s a cool blue color, if having a not standard colored soap and aftershave are your thing. I like it; it breaks the monotony.

Here’s my color coordinated pic for today’s challenge:
