    got some post-dinner soup going now. Maybe I'll call an audible in tomorrow's shave.

    Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo to the rescue!

    On vacation in San Diego the past couple days, and got sun burned at the beach, but it was cloudy! Lol. My wife didn't believe you could get sunburned with no sun.... well, now I'm looking like a raccoon and she can't stop laughing at me haha. But man, seriously though, this soap is freaking awesome. It's just a sample, but I'm having a hard time deciding which I like more, this or Glacial MITA. Rod has 2 winners in these soaps for sure!

    I decided to take a break from the "violent" Glacial menthol so I used the Sharp Dressed Man sample and it's freaky how long it's lasting. My wife admits that it smells gorgeous which makes me feel great, since she bought me a tub of this wonderful soap.

    @Gnomeo0228 yes, even in cloudy weather a bad sunburn can happen, so be careful!

    and now I DID just that. Brought out Skin Bracer in place of the Stoylin.

    Nice! The last thing I needed was another brush, but at under $8 I had to pull the trigger too. It's in the mail to me along with plenty of other Stirling goodness!

    I have the Glacial Obsidian soap ready for tomorrow, and after that I'll use the matching balm. The black licorice scent is a top favorite of mine, but it grosses my wife out. Does she ever hate it! (tough!)

    I'm kinda with your wife-but just by the fact that licorice by itself doesn't appeal to my tastebuds.

    I love the sent of Glastonbury. Even better, I got a "You smell good" from my wife this morning. What a way to start a day.

    I actually prefer the taste of red licorice but the scent of anise.............it's heavenly to me.

    Tomorrow morning I'm using the Black Ice-aka "the junior or mini Obsidian." Much, much more mildly-mentholated than the Obsidian, but still cold enough to satisfy my menthol cravings. The anise scent is about half the strength as what the Obsidian has, but it's still very similar.

    Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the Ben Franklin, @danbuter. A personal favorite of mine, but seems to be a polarizing scent.

    Have put the new soaps through some test/uses...The coconut lime is a big WINNER, that scent is amazing and one that I would truely consider a unisex scent, so you and a spouse could use or whats more likely is the wife "borrows" it from you...Weekend in Malibu is another great scent and one that I would say is similar to South Padre, just has that pleasant sun screen/citrus/summer vibe to it..G&T OTR's is one that im still trying to figure out, it is a very strong scent and one that I have used and smelled several times and still cant put my finger on, this could be because Im not a drinker and am not familiar with the smell of G&T but I sure do love menthol soaps...Also Witchy Woman is a homerun for the ladies...I would compair it to exec. man on the male side....both are great strong man/woman scents that have that "make the opposite sex" go crazy over the scent, so get it for the woman in your life.....Also, the new clear jars look great, for some reason they just look classy.

    Did I ever enjoy my shave this morning. The Black Ice soap's lather was so rich and thick that I could have done four passes. I don't know why my wife hates the scent so much but she does. I found the menthol effect really strong and "in my face" in a most delightful way. This soap is only sold in the fall and winter.

    Well, the opening shave with the Glacial Wintergreen can be described in one word: BRRRR. Good to finish with the Sandpiper A.S. too...nice Stoylin double-whammy for summertime.

    With my Glacial Wintergreen, Doc Ezlovan threw in a small Honey Oatmeal bath soap.

    You inspired me to use the Glacial Wintergreen trio for tomorrow. Was I right about how wonderful it is?
