[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 562372, member: 1211"] razor: Gillette 1963 Slim Adjustable, setting 5 blade: Astra Green, 5th shave soap: Stirling Texas on Fire brush: Maggards synthetic (modeled after the Kent handle) I raced through my single-pass w/ touchups shave today. A handful of weepers, which would make one assume it was a bad shave, but no rawness and a damn smooth shave. I was surprised. Now that I've stripped it down to the single-pass method, I take my time, and this isn't my usual shave. Weepers aren't common. I had traded a weak scented smokey soap for this Stirling because I wanted a robust smokey scent. That didn't work out. Texas on Fire was known to be a strong scent, and I think I got a re-formulation where they lowered the power in response to some complaints of it being too strong. That's my guess, though. Or I just got a bad batch, because on a scale of 10, this is maybe a 4/10 in scent strength. Good soap otherwise. [/QUOTE]
