  • Brush: Yaqi Synthetic
  • Razor: Karve Overlander
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Lavender Sage
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Lavender Sage

Lavender Sage is a harmonious blend of just that. It’s a strong scent off the puck, and remains that way throughout the shave. If you don’t like lavender or sage, you should steer clear of this. I think it’s great though. The aftershave is also strong and smells just like the soap to my nose. Stirling makes quality products, so you know it will be a nice lather unless you did something stupid to screw it up.

Shaving outside for today’s challenge was a monumental pain in the butt. I mostly shave in the evening, so I figured I’d shave a little earlier to beat the sunset. I did, but the heat from the day had not yet dissipated. Sweat, quick drying lather, insects, and horrible humidity made me want to quit and go inside. I powered through though (still wondering if I’m a can short of a six pack for doing so), but this was just as awful as the Legs Day challenge.
