While i had the stones out the other week i put the Horn scaled Böker through a refresh. Very smooth it is too.
A wonderful lather from the face-full of badger and Stirling soap, i do like this bay rum.
A nice post shave leaving me clean and fresh.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Pleasant shave this morning, been an age since I've taken the straights out so decided it was about time. This was my first henckel and still my favourite. I'm a little out of practice though so it took a lot longer than normal, though slow still managed a decent finish.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

A very interesting observation. I've not really used many 'artisan' shaving soaps, a few along the way, but the mutton tallow based Stirlings of Sheep & Electric Sheep a few of them, and they are some of the finest performing soaps I have used.

Stirling Sheep does have a barnyard funk to it when the lather is on the face, Electric Sheep doesn't though.
