Stirling Monday: Pumpkin Spice 🎃 and the Supply Co. Razor

[@leehaseley2164]

Fantastic shave and a stellar Stirling Monday, Mark. Have a bostin' week and good luck with that sun thingie, says he, from 39c Thailand🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FriendshipShaving]

39C - bloody hell! I'm jealous! One day we had, I think it was 8C

[@scotttrawick1364]

Hi Mark. Looks like you had a really great shave. I’m glad you enjoyed the Pumpkin Spice 🎃 . Stirling is one of my favorite soaps. Glacial Lemon Chill is my favorite Stirling offering. (At the moment) Take care and stay safe.

[@FriendshipShaving]

Hi Scott. I hope you are having a good day. Glacial Lemon Chill, does sound very refreshing but it's one for the Summer, here. I like your 'at the moment' - that happens to me all the time. All the best.

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Mark- Great shave and soap review; thank you! Glad you enjoyed the Pumpkin Spice scent. No doubt you would quite enjoy the pie itself! I hope the good weather continues and that you have a great week. Take good care and be safe and be well. All the best, my friend!

[@FriendshipShaving]

Hello mate. Everyone keeps writing about pies, it's killing me 😂 You are probably the man to make a lovely pumpkin pie. We had one dayof sunshine. That was our Spring. Take care, Mike. Be safe my friend.

[@BartBuzz]

Another relaxing Stirling shave. You would definitely enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie with a bit of whipped cream on top. Have a "sterling" week as well.

[@FriendshipShaving]

Nice. I think warm with cold ice cream is the way to go - he writes, having never eaten pumpkin pie. 😃

[@davidanderson3425]

Hi Mark. You should be getting paid for all of these Stirling promotional videos! Come on, Stirling, send the man a few free samples! I must admit I've never had a shave with a Pumpkin before. Thanks for showing how it's done, I think you nailed it! Have a great week Mark.

[@FriendshipShaving]

It's good fun, that's the main thing. I am expecting some more Stirling samples soon though. Thanks for looking out for me, David. Take care, my friend.

[@sven.k]

Hello Mark, seems this Stirling Monday shave was very good since you look quite relaxed after the shave. Great soaps from Stirling indeed.

[@FriendshipShaving]

Hello mate. I was relaxed. I enjoyed my shave,and today we had the nicest weather so far this year. It was a really pleasant day. There was sunshine!

[@JimWillShave]

I didn't even know that pumpkin had a smell. Congratulations Greg. I'm mainly enjoying Tuxedo knots at the moment. Timberwolf are also very soft and nice. The Supply looks like a nice shaver Mark. Nice shave and video Mark

[@FriendshipShaving]

Hi Jim. Tuxedo knots are very nice. Mate I have read you message, my apologies for not getting back to you. I will, but I am struggling to keep up with everything at the moment. I keep making videos! Basically, yes please but I will write back to you soon. Cheers.

[@JimWillShave]

No problem Mark

[@andrewhawkins6454]

Lovely video again Mark. Good to see you being a very happy chappy.

[@FriendshipShaving]

I am! Thank you Andrew. I hope you are a happy chappy this week 🤩

@@FriendshipShaving I was doing something and misheard🤪🤪🤪🤪. Well done, Greg.

[@bradleycred99]

Howdy Mark! Congratulations to Greg. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I don’t like boar brushes made up to look like badger brushes. A 24mm Omega Boar knot are my favorite. Great shave my friend and my best to you and your Mom. You should attempt to bake a pumpkin pie. You won’t be disappointed. Take care! 🤠

[@FriendshipShaving]

Oh yeah, that is a pet hate of mine too, Bradley. I can never see the point of it, except to try and fool someone who doesn't know the difference. Omega boar - very nice. I do need pumpkin pie now, but one of the other fellows wrote that the ones we get over here are grown to be carved for Halloween and are not very nice to eat. Gutted!

[@bradleycred99]

@@FriendshipShaving 💯 % agree on the faux badger look. You don’t need a live pumpkin to make the pie. You should be able to buy pumpkin pie filler. We buy it in cans here in the states. If you can’t find it locally you could possibly order it online. Google recipes for all the ingredients.

[@FriendshipShaving]

A live pumpkin 😂 You shoot them in Texas and put them in tins. I'll bet there are not many live ones left 😁 We don't get tinned pumpkin over here, Bradley. At least, I've never seen a tin in my life.

[@bradleycred99]

@@FriendshipShaving You need to request an audience with the Queen 👸🏻 and demand an end to this pumpkin pie filler embargo and go full on hunger strike if that works best. The eyes of Texas are upon you. 👀 🤠 🎃

[@carllondonnuman7604]

This is one of my favourite soaps. Great video! Hope your week is going well!😀

Hi Carl, thank you. I've had a good week so far, I hope yours is going well.

Great video, Mark ✋🙂👍💈

Thanks 👍

[@paulspeller968]

great soaps that’s for sure . what no straight 😱😱😱 well i will let you off because that supply razor is excellent i really enjoy the shave i get off it must say i do tend to use plate 2 myself. but i don’t notice a massive difference between 2 or 3 and still get a good comfortable close shave 👍👍

[@FriendshipShaving]

I will have to try plate #2 next Monday. I did have my Wade and Butcher (the other one) but I didn't get it right when I took it to my finishing stone. I need to really start practising my honing!

[@IAMCDB]

Very nice shave Mark. Stirling always hits the spot:)

[@FriendshipShaving]

Thanks buddy.

[@IAMCDB]

@@FriendshipShaving My pleasure.

[@rugermk22]

Hello My friend, I did a seasonal shave my self today I used Irish Spring scented soap & matching aftershave from Phoenix Shave. It smelled fantastic my Razor was my 1970 Gillette Black Beauty with a persona blade.

[@FriendshipShaving]

Hey buddy. That sounds like a great shave - certainly a lovely razor! Gillette new how to make razors, didn't they? They went from one classic, straight to another and each someone seems to perfectly represent that era.

[@rugermk22]

@@FriendshipShaving Not sure if you have ever seen any of Paul H videos but he has always made the comment if only these old razors could talk what a story they would tell. I always think about that when I am using one of my old Gillette's.

[@FriendshipShaving]

It's so true. That one that gave me a bad cut once, might have been owned by an axe murderer 😂 Joking aside, I wonder about that too. I'll bet there are some great life stories, if only the razor could talk.

[@HDShaves]

I sincerely hope you can have some pumpkin pie one day, Mark! During the colder months it is the absolute perfect dessert after a hearty supper, in my opinion.

[@mfreedberg]

Pecan pie over pumpkin, no contest, even sweet potato pie is better than pumpkin pie.

[@FriendshipShaving]

Sounds great! Basically, I flipping love pie!

[@FriendshipShaving]

Hey Michael. Sweet potato pie - I just cannot imagine it. I'm going to look at a recipe later.

[@rugermk22]

Not sure if you have ever seen this old tv series Andy Griffith? but there was a Barber on the show that loved the sound of the brush clinking the side of the shave mug.

[@FriendshipShaving]

No, I've not heard of that T.V. show. That noise goes through me.

[@AverageReviewsYT]

Pumpkin spice in March.. lol.. cool we will go with it

[@FriendshipShaving]

Excellent! 🤩

[@WolfRanger2008]

As it happens, I am particularly adept at baking pumpkin pies and very much enjoy the flavor! And, since I am the baker, I am not restricted to only the Fall season to enjoy a slice of ice cold pie with a dab of whipped cream on top-highly recommended for extremely hot summer days when Autumn seems like it's a 100 years away. Ironically, while you're correct that it is something of an American delicacy it also more popular in certain geographic regions. Where I reside, sweet potato pie is more common/popular and about a year ago I shocked a hardcore sweet potato pie consumer when I brought her a sample of pumpkin pie and it floored her. She couldn't get over the variety of tastes in the flavor and quite possibly the fact that I baked it. :D I told her, "it's all in the recipe and the ability to follow that recipe correctly." ;-) I think she said that she was 70 years old and had never tasted pumpkin pie before. So, it follows, I love the scent in any shaving product but I do think if used too often due to its scent strength user fatigue can set in. I use sparingly. As for your shaving bowl, I suggest giving it a scrub with a baking soda and vinegar solution. It can often get what bleach leaves behind. Good Luck.

[@FriendshipShaving]

That is really interesting Keith. I have never even heard of a sweet potato pie: it's seems a strange idea to me. I'll have to look up a recipe for both, I think and get baking.Thank you for the advice about vinegar and baking soda. I'll need to get some white vinegar, rather than malt, but I will try it. Nice one.

[@rosst2201]

That was a very delightful video! 😁👍 I do like these stirling Monday shaves, and look forward to them each week

[@FriendshipShaving]

Thank you so much Ross. I love doing them. They are just great. All the best.👍

[@royhadley686]

Usual enjoyed video. I prefer synthetic brushes and horse hair. Keep well.

[@FriendshipShaving]

Thanks, Roy. Will do. I must admit I am much more into my synthetics these days. The quality is usually very good indeed, they have really come along, especially in the last few years. It's amazing what they can do with a bit of nylon! Do you remember nylon bedsheets, Roy? I think they were a thing, briefly, in the seventies. Awful!

[@leehaseley2164]

I think that most bay rum scents will contain cinnamon to a certain degree, Mark.

[@FriendshipShaving]

I fidn't know that, Lee. Thanks for the info.

[@leehaseley2164]

I love pumpkin to bits, Mark. But I do know that I am an anomaly amongst Englishmen, most of whom have never had pumpkin. I had pumpkin for the first time in Australia when I was 17. When I was 18, in Telford, we had a neighbour who married an American girl, who would quite often make pumpkin soup and pie and offer them to neighbours, of whom I was the only one to accept her kind offer, with greedy joy. We eat a lot of asian green skinned pumpkins here in Thailand.

[@FriendshipShaving]

Lovely. I am keen to try it now, mate. I'd love a neighbour like that, it would be fantastic. She was obviously keen to share the cuisine of her homeland; what a nice woman.

[@joaonevessantos]

Now I'm curious about that Stirling soap. I have the also american Sudsy Soapery Pumpkin Spice and in my opinion it is a great performer with a very nice scent. The description on Maggards mentions "undertones of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon" so I suppose it's close to the Stirling take on it.

[@FriendshipShaving]

I imagine they must be quite close, from the description. I guess any difference would be in how much of those scents were added. I was looking for some images and saw a picture of pumpkin spice spam! It is pork and ham in a tin. awful.

[@joaonevessantos]

@@FriendshipShaving Ahahahah :) it sounds awful. Here in Portugal pumpkin is often used as soup and to make jam. Better than spam I guess :)

[@FriendshipShaving]

Now they both sound very nice 👍

[@shaver3755]

Congratulations Greg and well done Mark very generous of you running this giveaway ! I’m glad you liked the pumpkin spice it’s definitely not one for every day wear but for a seasonal bit of fun it does smell quite nice. I hadn’t tried the soap myself not bought it long since but I did give it a try quite a few days ago and have to say I got the same thing a bit of a red colour on the neck it wasn’t sore or painful and not a reaction but just red skin..strange didn’t have that with the Christmas Eve and I didn’t realise that about the cinnamon that’s quite interesting I wonder if it’s because cinnamon is warming almost like the opposite to menthol hmmm 🤔 Excellent shave though and as always a pleasure to watch see you in the next one

[@FriendshipShaving]

Hi Jay. I enjoyed it mate. It was very different to anything else I have tried and very enjoyable. Yes, funny about the red face - it can only be the cinnamon. Thank you for that sample, mate. It added very nicely to the Stirling Mondays. 🤩

[@DerekJS82]

Id certainly try a sample of the pumpkin spice, just a little worried about the cinnamon causing an irritant or reaction.

[@FriendshipShaving]

I didn't know that was thing Derek, until I looked at the Stirling website. I'd not heard of before but some allergies can be very nasty indeed.
