    🏰 Stirling vs House of Mammoth 🦣

    • Brush: Boti Motherlode knot in laminated wooden handle
    • Razor: Dovo 41 Inox
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Mountain Man
    • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. Mountain Man
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. Mountain Man

    I’m on a company engineering seminar in the mountains, so a Mountain Man trickhole is the perfect choice for my Stirling vote today. There’s simply no way I can get disappointed with today’s outcome. Both u/mammothben and u/stirlingsoap deserve to go all the way IMO, and I am somewhat optimistic one of them will.

    Today was the first time I’ve taken a straight razor to the mountains and I made a fun observation: The thin, dry mountain air plays tricks with my strop and the leather-steel combo is like the plexy glass stick and cat pelt experiment from high school physics: crackling discharges of static electricity and all the hairs on my stropping arm stood up.

    Every time I use the Motherlode knot I’m impressed and tell myself I should use it more, and I never do 🤷

    Fantastic shave, I won’t be too mad if we get snowed in and I have to repeat it a few times.
