  • Brush: Brad Sears Scotsman XL 28mm Super Badger
  • Razor: ERN 7/8 Full Hollow Round Point
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Mountain Man - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. - Mountain Man - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Creed - Silver Mountain Water

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


The Stirling Mountain Man/Creed Silver Mountain Water combo was perfect for a hot and humid day here in Maryland. Todays shave was a test of my first edge from my new Olympus Stone. The stone provided an excellent quality edge overall. It felt to me very much like an edge from a dense Black Arkansas stone, though the makeup and feel of these two stones is very different. I look forward to much more experience with this Olympus Stone.
