    Two weeks ago my father was placed in hospice and I left for Hernando FL. Last week my dad passed away and his internment was yesterday at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell FL. It has been a sad but wonderful visit with family by yesterday I had to drive my daughter to the Tampa Airport for her 10:30pm flight back to Denver.
    We spent the day in the Clearwater beach area and it dawned on me that my trial size of Sharp Dressed Man was empty. I could have gone to one of the CVS or Walgreens that is on almost every corner down here but I remembered seeing a post a while ago about the gear at Tampa Shave Company

    We made the trek to Oldsmar FL and when I walked in looked like a traditional barbershop with two display cases. One side was Tampa Shave related hardware with a few other vendors things. The other side was stuff from a Michigan based Shave Company.
    The Tampa Shave Hardware was impressive in looks and quality feel so I picked up one of the gifts sets on sale. I was then told there was a back room with other vendors stuff and when I walked back there I saw A shelf of what I imagine is Sterling best sellers. Electric Sheep was on there and I have never tried so I gave it a smell. Unfortunately the sheep is not for me but I am glad I got a whiff of it.

    None the less I didn't walk away empty handed but I am happy with I bought

    Sympathy for you and your family. I have 4 Stirling trial size aftershaves-SDM is not one of them, but Xecutive Man is.

    I'm sorry for your loss. My prayers go to our heavenly Father for your family in this sad time.
    I have had occasion to try the primary soap/scent from Tampa Shave Company. My daughter lives close to there, I haven't been there, but she has went for me (father's day). The mango lime is very nice. Maybe the slickest I've used. Maybe my imagination, but somehow he's managed to preserve the slickness of the mango. It actually feels like I'm smearing a fresh mango into the lather. Prolly just the scent (very realistic) fooling my mind. I like this product, and would like to try his next offering.
    I also took advantage of his recent sale. I'll post that in the haul thread.
