    Ahhh, sometimes they jump out at me (like the Sandpiper A.S. did when I ordered my first sample A.S. set from you :).

    I sent away for the Autumn Glory post-shave balm, and received along with it a sampler of the Scots Pine Sheep Bath Soap. Both have an excellent, woodsy aroma, which I like.

    Nice shave this morning with the menthol Grapefruit scent. Bright, citrus scent and the menthol isn't that pronounced. It's a cool lather. Quite enjoyable.

    My flu fever just broke, so I finally felt like shaving. Coniferous seemed like a logical choice for removing the three days of growth. I lathered up with a Stirling Boar, and shaved the first pass with a RazoRock 37 Slant, and another pass and touch up with a Fatip Piccolo. The Slant is smooth and effortless at knocking down growth, but doesn’t cut cleanly for me. Maybe I’m using too light of a touch. The Piccolo will keep me BBS for the next 12 hrs however.

    You must live in the Great Lakes area +\- a state or two. I placed my order on the 14th and it’s still in Decatur, with an ETA of the 28th.

    Well I’m not much of a detective! :ashamed001:

    I’m in Oregon, and unless it’s something from Amazon, it seems to take forever.

    Living an hour away from a major international airport probably helps. The Stirling is definitely worth the wait though!

    I thought I was being clever one time when I ordered from West Coast Shaving. Imagine my surprise when the order finally arrived from New York!

    Phoenix Accoutrements arrives quickly for me though.

    It’s definitely worth the wait! I have enough soaps to last until 2025, so I just remind myself that before the internet and Prime, orders used to take a while. And I’d rather support shaving specific companies than Jeff Bezos.

    What is that small bottle I spy at the bottom of your photo? Nothing I've seen on the website. More info please.

    Because it was way too small!

    Right....in this new world of "The Bigger The Better", or "It's All About Money". I do find it interesting that housing developments now exist where Stapleton was.

    There is a great shopping center there now which also houses the largest Outdoor World (Bass Pro-Shop) in the state, along with several unique and interesting restaurants.

    I'm glad you brought us back on topic. Course I might have had something to do with taking us OFF it (chuk yuk ykuk).
