    Paul...don't think you have asked before. Are talking about the brush or the Stirling?

    I like it a lot. If you like Drakkar Noir you will like it. The Stirling soap and aftershave are real close to the scent. The aftershave may have just a little "sweeter" scent than the original. My wife likes it.:happy088:

    I might indeed make a play for it sometime. I've also learned that two other artisan companies have Drakkar Noir clones(but neither has the aftershave to go with it, as does Stoylin).

    Thanks Paul. Pinched nerves in your back can cause some strange (and often very painful) problems. I hope you have found some relief. I have a good friend that recently injured his back doing some home remodeling, and it caused mobility problems and nerve damage in his foot. He has improved somewhat with physical therapy, but he has some permanent damage.

    I experienced strange sensations in the soles of my feet this past summer. I noticed it mostly when I was in bed. They didn't hurt, but they didn't feel normal, either. I suspect that this was a precursor to the blood clots I experienced this past fall or was due to accumulated fluid from the excess weight I was carrying. I didn't go to the doctor to have them checked. Lesson learned. My feet are fine now, though...almost finished with my 6-month stint of blood thinners for the clots, trying to get daily exercise to keep the blood flowing, and down 58 lbs in 2o1 days. :)

    Thanks Clint! I enjoy the Red Tip & I've seen you use yours, too. I wouldn't want to be accused of enabling ... but! I recently saw one member of the 30 DC lamenting about how he hadn't found a Red Tip yet. Within days another mentioned that he has a number of DE's marked F/S in his "My Den" thread.

    If those two guys got together in a PM I'm fairly certain they could work it out.

    We're only in the second week of this short month, but the survey question results are poised to go right to the end to determine the winner. Favorite DE other than Fatboy and SE(Fatboy)are tied at 42.5 with Cookies, Cakes, and Ice cream third at 40. If @BaylorGator focuses on more votes for the snacks, this baby could be something to watch. I might have made that comment earlier, relative to @BaylorGator , but there it is again. :).

    Well, the aftershave was a Tony nominee last year, and the rules permit repeat nominees each following year(s).

    The current criticism of Drakkar Noir is that it's "old news"since it was famous in the 80's. Poor criticism IMO. The critics forgot that Clubman began to hit fame in 1830 and is still going strong today. Then of course there's Aqua Velva(1920's), Skin-Bracer,(1931), etc.

    The shave den is taking shape. I'll have this sink, counter, and cabinet to myself. Our neighbors may learn how to use a shavette simply by looking in the window. :)

    In the guest bathroom, I'll have a medicine cabinet and a storage closet dedicated for shaving goodies.

    Very nice!!! Is the bathroom with the window large enough for you to set up a shave video?
