Just used Bonaparte for the first time this morning. I like it (not enough to use it every day but is a nice change of pace). To my nose (and I'm not good at describing scents) it is very herbaceous. Very different than anything else I own.
SOTD December 6, 2018 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: vintage Personna twin Razor: eBarbershop Type O clone Brush: Surrey restored badger Soap: Stirling Black Pepper Lime Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Black Pepper Lime aftershave Wonderful shave with Black Pepper Lime this morning. Interesting scent. It's not in your face. Much more subtle. The lime comes through but the black pepper element is different. I almost detected an earthiness when applying the aftershave, but could be totally wrong. It's a nice scent and the performance was incredible as usual. Enjoy your day!
I wonder if it;'s similar to Clubman Veg, the history of which also includes Bonparte. Although having said that, I suppose the similarities only rest in the history.
I'm placing myself on a mission to get to the end of my Barbershop soap by Groundhog Day. I love that soap, of course, but it's a chance to make room for others, such as the 2019 Stoylin Tony Award winner.
I'm looking forward to the final nomination and award winning scent announcement. Paul, have you considered Baker Street? A truly timeless aroma that consistantly garners compliments. My two younger sons love the shampoo bar and I just can't stop hugging them after bath time. It blends well with many of the other scents as well. I don't envy you narrowing down to one...too many great options to choose from!
Well, Baker St. could be a possibility for my Gift Certificate choice(I was a lucky winner of that recently). I'll have another look at it. It's great your sons appreciate something from Stoylin .
So many wonderful scents and only one winner. I too look forward to your winner, Paul. Good luck with your selection.
We had a fabulous time there - beautiful weather, great food, awesome people, and so restful. What more can we ask!
I'm using this thread to thank all my additional "likers" from last night to this morning. 80! Yes, the snowman and bowling ball. The reason I thought I'd mention it here is that many came as result of my posts in the Exchange. Thanks much, fellas!!
And another. And, I see the good "Doc" made his rounds. So, a special shout out to him and his great products.

About the big new project, it's an entirely new line of products. We're going to start with 8 of our most popular scents, because that's all I can afford. Hopefully they are well received though and we can bring on more scents before too long. Holy cow, as I typed this, i just realized Mandy and I actually have two huge projects in the works. The second one being a brand new company that is not soap related at all. I know I probably just caused more questions than I gave answers, but I'll just say that 2019 is going to be my attempt to go big or go home. We're moving the business off our property into an actual building in town. Hopefully that will give us some legitimacy as a business. Hopefully it also allows me to relax at the end of the day so I can get my blood pressure down and get my health back in order. Separating work and home is long overdue. Anyway, thank you all for helping this thread going and for supporting us. I promise I'll not take it for granted.
My wife and I want to congratulate you on the new endeavors. Thank you for all the tremendous joy your products bring and wish you nothing but the best!
