Hi everyone

[Joel]

I have been wet shaving for just over a year. My current line up consists of a Henson AL13 (not getting much use), Rockwell 6S, SS Blackbird and a Vector. I also had a Timeless 0.95 Ti which I sold as I didn't really like it. I have been pretty slack with soaps and have just been using Proraso foam.

Welcome @Joel we should be able to fix that. A lot of other options from tried and tested triple milled Italian hard soaps through to modern vegan artisan soaps and everything in-between

Quite a title - I don't think I am worthy of it

@Joel, must be hot in Townsville mate how about some Glacial Stirling to get you started

Welcome @Joel you have some very impressive hardware, notably the SS BB and I have tried the rest

But your soap can be so easily improved taking your shaving to the next level

Welcome aboard @Joel, always good to have new blood here. Preferably not literally... Interesting that you didn't get along with the Timeless, it's a very fine razor. Though I too let mine go after a few weeks, but only because my den is really home for single edges. I love my Vector, it's still my grail razor. Enjoy your time here.

I actually have some Stirling soaps and a brush here, I had a hard time trying to get a nice slick lather though for some reason.

Nice, Stirling Barbershop is one of my favourites. Keep practicing and head over to the Lather Shots thread and particularly these two videos posted by @alfredus
Are you bowl lathering or face?

You just need a better brush mate!

 

[Mark1966]

You just need a better brush or five mate!

FTFY

See Mr Stirling (Rod Lovan) on how to both bowl lather and face lather a Stirling soap.

First, you need a brush in both your left AND right hands...
