๐Ÿชฆ Killing Varen: Operation Inferno ๐Ÿชฆ

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm ร— 50mm
  • Razor: Henkotsu Kamisori
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
  • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
  • Fragrance: Sir Irisch Moos
  • Talc: Borotalco

Second kill ๐ŸŽ‰

There was just barely enough soap left, and the third pass leaned a bit thin, but Varen is done. I'm not on an orchestrated killing spree. The fact that my two first kills were back to back is coincidental.

So that's what an empty Stirling tub looks like ๐Ÿค”

Congratulations on the kill!

Thanks! First time for me to see the bottom of one of these, too

Congrats! Killing a bowl of Tabac followed by a tub of Stirling. Somewhat prodigious feat.

Thanks! I did some counting, and I was surprised to learn that I got only 68 shaves out of the tub of Varen. I guess I developed a heavy load ๐Ÿ˜
