    • Brush: Zenith 508A XL/Bristle (B35) (MOAR BOAR) 31mm
    • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
    • Blade: V12 Super Platinum (3)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Scots Pine Sheep - Soap
    • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave

    A much better shave than a few days ago, which was the last time I used this razor/blade. I was careful to not over-do it.

    Scots Pine isn’t what you would expect. Normally when I hear “pine” I think of a sharp evergreen type scent, but this stuff is quite mellow. Petrichor is a good buddy for it. The lather from Stirling is so good, especially this Mutton stuff. I’m so happy they were able to bring it back.

    The mutton scents are another thing, though. Varen is my favorite, followed by Scots Pine, Glastonbury (although it’s been a minute since I smelled this one), Port-Au-Prince, and lastly Electric Sheep.

    Varen is one of my favorites in general, but it’s not for everyone. The rest of the scents are just so-so for me, but I still enjoy using Scots Pine Sheep and Port-Au-Prince from time to time. I gave away my tub of Electric Sheep…

    I really wish Rod would remove the Lemongrass from Port-Au-Prince, as it doesn’t smell great and it burns my skin. I’ve used their Vetiver aftershave before and I love it. A vetiver soap would be incredible.
