Early meetings tomorrow, so I’m back for a second luxury shave today.
Classic old-school shave (plus some Stirling goodness) definitely didn’t disappoint. Two passes with the Super Speed got it done.
Such a remarkable razor for the price. It’s pretty obvious why they were so ubiquitous back in the day.

Theme Thursday 12 Dec 2024
- Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
- Razor: Puma 88 (5/8", round tip, carbon steel, hollow ground)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Christmas Eve
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Haverford
- Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Friends to the End
Three warm and cosy Stirling scents for this Theme Thursday made for a very enjoyable SOTD. Pretty much the opposite of what u/EldrormR came up with today.
The Puma is a nice, smooth little razor.
How do you like the solid cologne from Stirling? I’ve been curious but never ordered any. Do you find it lasts longer than the spray?
Yes, it lasts longer than the spray, but the scent strength is lower, too. I like it!

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I’m not sure if this is on theme but Cerberus works on any day for me :)
Cerberus feels on theme. Not just today 🙂
This, and Tobacconist are my favorite scents that Ben has done. Very happy that Noble Otter did the Cerberus splash. Fits perfectly between the soap and EdP.
I’ll have to get a set of tobacconist at some point. I’ve really enjoyed my sample of it
Yeah, I am actually working through two samples I have of it. I’ll get a set as soon as I’m done, though.

Thursday, December 12, 2024: Theme Thursday
- Brush: SBS Elyria - TNS v9 28mm badger
- Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
- Blade: Bolzano - Superinox (4)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann - Noggin’ On Heaven’s Door
- Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber Aftershave splash
- Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
- Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille EdT
The Legacy razor gives me such a close, comfortable shave as long as I remember to ride the cap. Good stuff.
On theme today and my first shave with Noggin’ On Heaven’s Door. I’m not usually wild about gourmand scents, but this one knocks it out of the park. I get lots of cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg, with a hint of vanilla sweetness underneath. Warm, cozy, and just perfect for this time of year.
I was a little worried the spices would give me frag burn, but it was a super comfortable shave.
Have a great day y’all!
