    Damn, why didn't I use a Glacial soap this morning? It's gonna be pretty warm today - mind you the Obsidian balm felt nice and icy!

    Port Au Prince SS & AS yesterday. I'm cutting this flavor from the Max Headroom lineup. The vetiver hangs on all day, but I'm not a vetiver fan.

    Going for Dunshire SS & AS TODAY for a recovery.

    I wanna grab some of the Stirling For Him that's on sale. Hope I'm not waiting too long for our Glacial Lemony Orange batch.

    It's been just over a month. Anyone know what the cure time is for their soaps?

    The Glacial soaps require a longer cure time than the others.

    Talking about the Glacials I had an awesome freezing-cold shave with the Obsidian soap. The matching balm and the Snake Bite splash prolonged the freeze beautifully!

    I’m not a vetiver fan either. I was never sure just what part of the scent profile vetiver was until I bought a couple bottles of vetiver AS............now I know...........and it’s not my thing.

    I’m sitting on a list of soaps and balms until Lemony Orange is ready. Then I can pounce with speedy accuracy.;)

    Vetiver...

    It’s what the hot patchouli girls want their guys to smell like.

    I wasn’t aware that it’s a scent response to the other scent I really don’t like!

    I can’t help a little self evaluation when faced with a scenario involving a pretty hippy chick though. I’ll just pretend she’d respond even faster if I was wearing Skin Bracer and a hickory shirt. My fantasy, enjoyed my way. :cool:

    LOL.

    When it’s a chick like Grace Potter, you can adjust the scent to fit the fantasy....

    First shave with Stirling Spice was nice. Great lather and scent.

    A shave from Paradise with my Glacial MITA and a great icy finish from the Glacial Unscented balm as well as the Arctique!

    I feel like I've neglected the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo so I'll go with that one tomorrow.

    Just tried the Scots Pine Sheep shave soap yesterday and it's out of this world. :D

    My Dad really liked the Shulton formulation of Old Spice and if he were still living he would be using the Stirling Spice Soap, and Aftershave. Mom and I always got him a gift set on Fathers Day, and he alway's had a large bottle of the aftershave in the bathroom. Being that it's Fathers Day I'm going to dedicate my Sunday afternoon shave to my Dad and repeat yesterday's shave.

    I'm going to have to put a sample of this on my next order. How does it compare to the Mitchell's Woolfat Shaving Soap?.

    I love The Fat, but haven’t tried Elevtric Sheep yet, so I can’t compare the two. I did try Scots Pine Sheep in a soap sample once. Really loved it. Wonderful, slick, and nourishing lather. Upon reflection it was the Scots Pine was similar in feel to The Fat.

    One of these days I need to try Electric Sheep.
