Brush: Мужской Материк Orange Stabilised Burl with 28mm Oumo boar knot at 57mm loft
Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy
Lather: Stirling Soap Co Mountain Man
Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co Mountain Man
Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co Mountain Man
I’ve never tried Creed’s Silver Mountain Water, but I always enjoy Stirling’s dupe of it. This marked the tenth use of the Thiers Issard in a row, and the seventeenth since the last time it saw a hone, and I’m thinking it could use a little edge refresh. Not the best longevity. Or maybe I was just a bit off this evening. Either way, the razor goes on the to-hone pile and I’m switching to another tomorrow.

I’ve tried SMW and liked it a lot, but it is light and I go nose blind to it quickly. I like getting wafts of fragrance during the day.
As for edge refreshing, why not? Because you can do it yourself you can afford to be quite picky about having the best edges on all of your razors.
Yes, you’re right, and this blade will be shipshape next time it touches my face 🙂
