Stirling Stainless Razor - Standard Plate | Stirling Spice | Lancaster RazorWorks | Old Spice

[@pjwroblewski]

It's such a bonus that the razor is produced here in the USA.

[@IAMCDB]

I agree Patrick, it's nice.

[@StirlingSoap]

Thanks for all the compliments, Chris. I am in your debt. I don't think you could have described both plates of the razor any better. I don't think anyone who watches either video should be confused about what to expect from the razor.

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Rod, I appreciate it. I think this razor was marketed appropriately. It's for folks who appreciate a more efficient/aggressive razor. If you like high efficiency and blade feel, it might well be a winner for you. If you're averse to blade feel and efficiency, walk away:)

[@leehaseley2164]

I finally watched your chat with the wonderful folks from Shannon's today. What lovely salt of the earth people they are up there in south Canada!

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Lee, I appreciate it sir. They are great folks for sure.

[@Shaverboy516]

Stirling is always going above and beyond in quality for what you spend, and this razor is a beautiful example of that.

[@IAMCDB]

I agree RK. You always get good bang for your buck with Stirling.

[@johnmeyer8098]

Morning Chris. Excellent shave today. I’ve been wet shaving now for over a year after coming back. I started out with only mild razors like post war Gillette Techs. Now I am upping my game to the higher side of mild. I’ve gone to SE razors like the Razorock SS Hawk and found I can get a good shave with them. Don’t you just love the Stirling soaps, can’t say enough about them. Again enjoy your day and God bless.

[@IAMCDB]

Hey John. I'm so glad your back and enjoying your shaves sir. I never have a bad outing with Stirling:) Have a blessed day John.

[@leehaseley2164]

That case sure is beautiful. Hats off to Rod and Mandy!

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Lee, it really is.

[@TheTravelingShaver]

The aggressiveness/efficiency of that razor seems right up my ally. I just acquired a 2011 R41 though. Hopefully Rod continues to produce this beauty.

[@IAMCDB]

This razor brings it for sure. It's definitely on the efficient side:)

[@mrazulak9832]

Executive Man was my first artisanal soap I bought when I started wet shaving 3 years ago. I have since bought five more shave soaps and aftershaves. Their bar soaps and shampoo bars are all I use in the shower. I even started using their charcoal facial soap and I have zero interest in using anything else in the shower. Stirling is a top notch company that have top notch products.

[@IAMCDB]

Awesome sir. I'm so glad you're really enjoying their products. It's hard to go wrong with them, that's for sure:)

[@charlespreiss3426]

One of my top three scents of all time. So sad that is discontinued. Hope they bring it back!!

[@IAMCDB]

They tend to bring them back every once in a while, hopefully they will.

[@charlespreiss3426]

@@IAMCDB yeah I emailed Rob about it and he said the price of the fragrance oil went up so much it wasn’t viable anymore. But it is a great scent!! Master soap commander makes a good dupe of “old” old spice too.

[@IAMCDB]

@@charlespreiss3426 Well, maybe they'll find another at some point.

[@charlespreiss3426]

Great shave. Everything that I have tried from Stirling has been great quality and that keeps me going back for more.

It's hard to go wrong with Stirling Mike:)

[@razormichl2004]

i see that Mühle have the R41 now in stainless steel. nice video !!

[@IAMCDB]

Yes, I've seen that. That should be interesting:)

[@williamcass68]

That was a great Sterling shave today, Chris! Thanks for sharing!

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks so much for watching William.

[@supernoobsmith5718]

Trying my Electric Sheep sample today. I'm having GREAT success with their regular tallow, and I hear the sheep tallow is even better. Stirling is the best. I always get the cushiest slickest shave. Haven't used anything else since trying. Doesn't leave you dry either, like I find with TOBS and others.

[@IAMCDB]

I think it's quite a good quality product for sure. She Sheep is definitely nice but I like all the regular stuff as well.

[@mattilindholm1941]

Nice shave as usual C. 👍👍 Stirling soaps rocks. Have a rocking day and take care my friend. You rock bro. 🤘😃🤘

Got that razor with the aggressive plate for my brother he loves it now that his face has healed up.

[@IAMCDB]

Nice. Did he have a rough go with it at first?

[@timshull59]

@@IAMCDB lol yes went from a cart to that.

[@IAMCDB]

@@timshull59 oh dear god. You talk about getting into the fire:)

[@artlogonmx]

Funny how this razor put things into perspective. Used the HA plate for a week and now used the Ikon Shavecraft Teck and boy did I not find it as blade aggresive as before. Lets now use the R41 and Merkur Futur to see of my sensations have changed as well

[@IAMCDB]

That's interesting for sure. Let me know how those others feel now:)

[@FrankDAgostino77]

The ease of use factor is why I always enjoy Tabac, Palmolive stick, and Arko stick. Of those three, Palmolive has the best scent. Tabac is okay, definitely a classic. Arko is difficult to like until the scent dissipates -- I added some Stetson and that helps.

[@IAMCDB]

Nothing wrong with that sir:)

[@JMac.]

Great shave today Chris! That’s a mighty fine looking razor and that classic Shulton Old Spice scent is a a great scent indeed! Have a great day my friend!

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks so much Justin, I appreciate it brother.

[@JMac.]

@@IAMCDB you’re most welcome my brother!

[@leventdepevent]

Great great shave Chris, again totally agree with you about Stirling. I love the soaps and aftershave splashes but the balms are absolutely phenomenal. Also like it that alot of there products are available in the Netherlands. Enjoy your day

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Levent. Stirling is hard to beat for sure. I'm glad they are widely available as well. Have a great day sir!

[@joejarrell2578]

Great shave Chris!! Have a blessed one.....

Thank you Joe. You have a blessed day as well:)

[@patkaczmarek7362]

Really impressed with that case. Surprised Gillette hasn't followed suite with their latest DE razor offerings.

[@IAMCDB]

It's quite nice for sure. Stirling did a great job with it.

[@leehaseley2164]

Superbly Stirling silver spice shave, Chris.

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Lee. I appreciate it sir.

I do as well Jeff.

[@SHMOKE57]

Awesome video. I cant wait to try the stirling razor with the standard plate

[@IAMCDB]

I hope you enjoy it sir. It's still fairly efficient:)

[@johnshaves101]

Great shave Chris, I think this soap will defiantly be my next Stirling for sure 👍👍 have a great week Chris 👍

[@IAMCDB]

It's a nice one John. Have a great night sir!

Great shave brother! I love Stirling! Is very slick! Have a wonderful day!

It's a great soap for sure. Have a great day Matteo!

[@JT-nf9tk]

Wonderful shave with the standard plate Chris! The Stirling Spice is definitely a winner for me! Have a great day!

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Joseph. It was an enjoyable run with Stirling as always. Have a great day!

[@soapthing]

Stirling Spice is the only Old Spice Scented Soap I have in my den. I finally exhausted my Barrister’s Reserve Spice so I thought I would try something else. Hard to go wrong with Stirling.

[@IAMCDB]

Both of them are quite good. I agree, it's hard to go wrong with Stirling.

[@kimgray7172]

Hey Chris ! I would also add Catie's Bubbles to easy of lather, quality and affordability !

[@IAMCDB]

I agree Kim, it's another soap that's quite easy to use.

[@gordon7205]

Great shave as always Chris. I will have to get some of that soap. Have to say the razor looks interesting as well. I have only just started using a DE, my driver for the last few years has been the Japanese style Artist club with the professional blades.

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks Gordon. The DE's will certainly take some getting used to. That said, if you have shaved a lot with an open blade you can probably use about anything:)

[@zaclikestoshave8099]

Killer shave Chris. Nice review of the razor and comments on Stirling. They offer some great products. Great video, gonna watch the other video of the hyper plate right now

[@IAMCDB]

Thanks so much for watching Zac, I appreciate it.

[@estudacaboco184]

Hey Chris. Can you tell me if any plate Karve compare in efficiency and aggressiveness of this Stirling ST?

[@IAMCDB]

I would say the Stirling ST plate is more like a Karve on an upper plate setting. Say at least D or E. It's just a guess though:)

[@3stooges242]

Cool video

[@IAMCDB]

Thank you sir!

[@firecured1701]

Hello Hello my friend.. This video got me this idea (rather a video suggestion).. How about a video discussing aggressive options; i.e. acceptable (ex. Yaqi beast) / non acceptable (ex. Yaqi helmet).. Alternatives (ex. Cadet as an alternative 2 r41).. Overlooked options (ikon standard, slants usually they r not viewed from an aggressive perspective).. etc.. Really every aggressive razors' lover would appreciate it

[@IAMCDB]

What do you mean by acceptable or not acceptable? Like too rough in some cases?

[@firecured1701]

@@IAMCDB I mean aggressive / efficient / substantial blade feel: that is acceptable (exs. R41, yaqi beast, etc..).. Not acceptable: roughness / unsafe / uncomfortable (exs. Yaqi helmet, yaqi slant)

[@IAMCDB]

@@firecured1701 ahhhh, I see.

[@sefontes]

Want your opinion for 159 would you rather have the Stirling ss or would you say spend 30 more and get a scratch and dent carbon? Just curious. Thanks 🙏 stay safe.

[@IAMCDB]

If you want high aggression and efficiency, go Stirling. If you want smooth, easy going, and effective, go carbon. They are two very different type of razors.

[@Mark1JT]

I'm hoping Stirlings EDT's are as good as their soaps cause I have ordered a bunch of them, along with some samples.

[@IAMCDB]

I've never tried their EDT's as the aftershaves are usually more than adequate for me:)

[@DavidV4444]

Does anyone know if the Razor is still being produced? I went to the Stirling site hoping to see a milder base plate option and couldn’t find the Stirling Stainless razor on the site.

[@IAMCDB]

They aren't producing it currently and I'm not sure they will again. Rod hasn't ruled it out but his initial leanings seemed to be not to make more.

Very nice! I was waiting for you to use this plate. My question is, I do have a merkur futur, based on that which setting would you equate this to from 1-6?

[@IAMCDB]

It's been a while since I've used the Futur but I'm guessing this would still be on the upper settings. Say 4+ or so.

[@Diver6127]

@@IAMCDB i didn't realize you prefer the higher settings! Wow, thats a bit too much for me! And I prefer blade feel! As you said what works for you may not work for me

[@DanielFrazelle]

The way Rod described this razor (maybe on Lather Talk?), it was a razor for someone who just wants to be done with shaving. I don’t know who that’s supposed to appeal to in this hobby, and what market exists outside of the hobby. Seems like a missed opportunity, given what appears to be a high quality product.

[@IAMCDB]

I don't think it's a missed opportunity at all. This razor will appeal to folks who are looking for more efficiency. Perhaps it's not a crowd please but there's certainly a place for it.
