    • Bowl: Linkidea Shaving Bowl

    Yesterday’s Ball-End tech left my skin a bit more tender than I first thought. I’m lucky today is Super-Speed Wednesday. I find the Super-Speed to be a very mild razor. But this razor’s “mild” comes with less efficiency. DFS, not BBS. I also pulled out my bowl to see how the Midnight Stag would lather up. I may have used more Stag than needed, but between the Omega and the bowl, I whipped up a lather that looked as good as any I’ve seen in any SOTD photo. This was a truly pleasant shave, and I have to admit the Stag is growing on me. I’m eyeing Chiseled Face’s Guy Noir. Mmmm, tobacco.

    Have a great day, everybody!

      Stag has a way of doing that. Next thing you know you’ll be using it for the whole month of August.

        I’m not sure I have that much left. Maybe after I get through all ten samples, I’ll include this one in my reorder. These CF soaps could easily become my favorite brand.

          Sorry, it was kind of an inside joke. On the r/Wetshaving subreddit they have a shaving challenge every August where people use the same setup all month. Some poor souls decided to use Midnight Stag, in all its forms, all month and started the Noble Order of Stag.

            Yes, someone there posted a link for me, so I read all about it, including the different levels of Stag. I’m not sure it’s something I want to try this year. Maybe next. I’m liking the Stag, though. And since I’m still home for most of August, it’s something I could try.
