Fragrance: The Scottish Fine Soaps Company – Vetiver & Sandalwood
Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder
Now I am becoming Death, the latherer of soaps. For the first time since joining the hobby, I have achieved a ring of death in a Stirling tub:
and that calls for some stats: This was the 49th use of Varen, or 4% of all my documented shaves (1282), or 35% of all my documented shaves with Stirling lather (139). Because the first 6 were from a sample, this ring of death appeared after 43 uses.
Before you say that this sounds quick, 33 of those uses were with the big MOAR BOAR and 2 with this equally big boar brush, 5 were with other 28 mm boar knots, and one with a 28 mm DG B3 knot, so this tub sustained 41 of its 43 uses from what could be considered unreasonably saponiphageous brushes.
Even hidden between Varen and Vetiver, Mountain Man was still present enough to get me a compliment from the wife. I think this seals it and should go and buy a bottle of Silver Mountain Water.
I also used a Stirling with a ring of death today, congrats on nearing the end! It shouldn’t, but it still does surprise me how long it takes to go through these tubs. Also, cheers on the stats. You are one organized shaver!
Varening! Ring of Death Detected

I wish that were true. I’m just querying the posts over on r/wetshaving :)
Ring of death! Ring of death! Ring of death!
Congrats on the ring o’ death!
