Haven’t shaved in forever. Thankfully the OCMMOC: The Next Generation is one of the best razors for that problem. Great shave on Tabac Tuesday.

Didn’t get a chance to shave the last two days of March Madness. So I shaved as early as I could today to help Stirling make it another round.
This brush is really, really hard to deal with. Have not figured it out yet.

I again find myself doing a night shave for BAM. For me, the biggest surprise of March Madness has been the fact that BAM has been in the lower tier of soaps used every time. They’re widely beloved in this community and rank highly on our lather logs. So it’s surprising they would be struggling so much in the rankings.
I am, however, reminded that I don’t care for this scent a lot. Not that it’s bad; it’s just not entirely my cup of tea. But I wanted to go with something less in-your-face for this night shave, and this one certainly delivers.

I said I was going to ride or die for Stirling, but one of the benefits of having an infant is that time has no meaning so I decided to bide my time and wait.
No way BAM was going down like this.
So I pulled out the OG, the soap that made me a wet shaving hobbyist. The soap I stayed up to midnight for a decade ago.
Ride on, BAM.

How much MOAR can a MOAR BOAR MOAR if a MOAR BOAR could BOAR MOAR?
A MOAR BOAR would BOAR as much MOAR as a MOAR BOAR could BOAR if a MOAR BOAR could BOAR MOAR!
And that’s all I have to say about that.
Except that big kudos, as always, to Rod for making the MOAR BOAR happen. Yet another reason we should catapult Stirling to the top
Shepherds unite!

What a remarkable shave.
I’ve been wanting to try this scent for awhile, and when I heard that Stirling was discontinuing it I knew I had to pick up a puck.
So happy I did. What an incredible scent. It’s subtle but wonderful. And, of course, the mutton tallow base is one of the best in the business.
What’s truly remarkable about this scent is my wife liked it. I’m not joking, she hates scents. It’s to the point where I rarely use anything except scented soap anymore, and even then sometimes she can pick up the scent on me (and hate it) hours later. But this one she loved. Hopefully it comes back someday!
This isn’t too dissimilar in spirit to the very first Lather Games. We have truly come full circle.

As many of you know my wife and I are expecting our first child. We are in the “home renovations” phase of pregnancy where we decide to redo the entire house in the final weeks before birth.
Anywho, I shaved because I hadn’t for awhile because all I do is home renovations. It was great because 3 Scots is great. Again, so happy I picked this up during the drop.

Rarely do shaves go this well. Vespers felt like the perfect scent for the downslope of the holiday season, and the MM24 made it an absolutely smooth shave with no irritation. Happy New Year all!

On Christmas Eve, there are two acceptable soaps: Christmas Eve and ‘Twas The Night Before. I have Christmas Eve, so that’s what I’m going with.
This is one of my all time favorite scents. I wrote my first review about this scent. It’s incredible and I love it every time.
Merry everything!

Life has been really busy lately getting ready for the holidays and the baby so not much time to log shaves. But this was a particularly good one, everything came together well. Been working on my angle lately with the GEMs and have been really dialing it all in.

Stirling’s alternative bases are great. UWB makes a wonderful lather, which I sort of wouldn’t think it would considering the use of beeswax.
