    My order shipped today! I’m leaving town for five days, so I should be getting home just ahead of my order. :)

    Superb lather and wonderful scent this morning. Haverford is a unique soap in that the lather is not white but rather looks like melted chocolate ice cream or hot chocolate. But it's slick and comforting as are all Stirling lathers. Nice shave this morning and I'm smelling wonderful. Great scent. Enjoy your day!

    Are you in USA? If so, I'm not an authority in this, but I thought that FLMA protected you from this type of thing.

    Good luck.

    Thank you gentlemen! I live in South Jersey. Unfortunately, for employers with less than 50 personnel they can get away with it here. There's a silver lining though, my amazing wife doesn't work for those abusive people anymore. I was an E-7 in the military and didn't yell at people half as much as those owners. That's just not how you motivate people to be truly great. Thankfully Stirling makes tremendous products at great prices that everyone just loves!

    Thank you Brother! I have an incredible wife with two degrees that gave up a nursing career to take care of me and my disabilities. I honestly don't deserve her. Everyone should be as blessed. Merry Christmas all! (And any other holiday you may observe)

    Back to Ozark Mountain for a wonderful shave. I'll use this soap a good bit this month. Wonderful scent and performance. Enjoy your day!

    Have you been calling or emailing? I'm a bit spotty answering the phone right now. If I'm actively making soap, i just let it go to voicemail so I don't risk ruining a batch of soap by trying to do two things at once.

    Ahh, I was teasing, Rod :). I figured the Tonys should be announced from a large arena.

    Ah, gotcha. I was hoping you were going to be making a trip down to visit!

    That would be some visit, that's for sure! I've become fascinated with just imagining all the work you do to make your soaps, aftershaves, etc.

    I take it it is a Stoylin, right Paul? I just used my new Stoylin butterscotch handled badger this morning. It has really bloomed nicely through the conditioning process . It also really lathered up my soap nicely for me this morning. I'm thrilled with it. What a deal for about $20.00.

    That it is I just didn't add the company as we're in the Exchange anyway. The one you have looks nice.

    Today I learned that a 20-410 fine mist spray top will fit the Black Friday aftershave bottles.

    Hmm. I love electric sheep. It is awesome.
    But yeah, it is a great way to check scents out.

    I usually buy bath soaps to test if I can.

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: GEM PTFE
    Razor: GEM Pushbutton
    Brush: Artisan badger
    Soap: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Sharp Dressed Man aftershave

    Terrific lather and finish from the Sharp Dressed Man scent. I need to get some Eskimo Tuxedo soap one day given how much I like menthol. Decent shave as the blade gave me a little trouble but the Stirling software was superb as usual.

    Have a great day!
