All right you guys-you're roasting me all over the map. Let me return this action-I just decided on the Tony Awards Nomination #1 winners, but until tomorrow morning, no one knows who they are but ME. (nyahh nyah).
Paul, I w0nder if any of the ladies at aisle 12 at The Pig might be talking before tomorrow morning? if not, I guess we'll have to wait it out.
Uh, Ladies and Gentlemen: Well, here we are! The opener of the second annual Stoylin Tony Awards!. Before we get down to the business of the first nomination for the 2020 title, a few table scraps to clear up. As we know, each nomination will consist of one shave soap and one aftershave. Any nominations from last year may be re-nominated this year. Now here's a new decision: As we know there were 4 nominations last year. We'll make it 5 this year!! Thank you...thank you very much....thank you...thank you...thank you...thank you very much. The other dates for the 2020 will be-May 1, July 4, Labor Day, and the Grand Finale nomination date will be Black Friday. Then, the champion of the 2020 Stoylin Tony Awards will be crowned on New Year's Day, 2020. Without further adieu, the first nomination pairing of the Stoylin 2020 Tony Awards IS:: Shave soap-Agar Aftershave-Agar Congrats to Agar, and we'll see you on Jan 1, 2020 for the Championship round.

SOTD February 11th Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Schick Injector Type F Personna Maseto Shaving Classic (30mm, Cruiser Class) Stirling Haverford soap and AS Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB I realized that there was still one more scent from my Stirling Black Friday order that I haven't tried yet, Haverford. Sweet tobacco and vanilla and STRONG! Opening the soap tub quickly made the bathroom smell like my grandpa was smoking a cigar near by. A nice heavy load with the poor mans Chubby 3 had me a bowl full of lather that looked like melted chocolate ice cream. I finished with Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB followed by a very light application of the Haverford AS, which I can still smell quite strongly 5 hours later. Have a great day my friends!
John, I'm gravitating a bit towards woody scents, as well as men's colognes(of which Doc Ezlovan has a nice lineup, as we know). Have a look at the second review of the aftershave, on the website. I must say, that impressed me. But we have 4 more to go .
These were delivered on Saturday. Hipster is not what I was imagining in the slightest. Is is not dark at all but rather bright and clean. It is a very citrus forward scent, and that citrus is most definitely grapefruit. Amber is also present on the top along with a light floral scent. The other notes blend into a nice light slightly woodsy base. I'm so glad I jumped on this one! British leather... I was expecting a little more then just leather. Maybe this one will transform a little once lathered, otherwise not my cup of tea. Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
I read the review you suggested Paul. I do like cedarwood and sandalwood but don't think I've ever tried agarwood. Maybe I'll order a sample and see it how smells to me and of course the ultimate decision maker - my wife, in these (and almost all) matters.
About the British Leather-"just leather"(your words) works for me . On Hipster, I have an issue with grapefruit, due to a health issue. From what I know, grapefruit CONSUMPTION is a problem, however I must say I'd have to check with my neurologist about using it on the skin.
Discussing Tuscany reminded me that it had not been out for a while. Gave the shave soap and AS a whirl yesterday. The Lovely Mrs Headroom commented "wow, I really like that". For anyone still in 'the wild' give that one a trial on aisle 12. I got a few sample AS's on my recent order. I have similar reactions to those of Andrew. Haverford to me comes across as a nice 'clean' vanilla-tobacco that does not ring of ashtrays. I'm gonna take the test drive, but its probably not my style. If you are a tobacco - vanilla fan, yeah you need it. Hipster surprised me as well. Pleasant, but maybe a little more dress up/formal than I am normally. Further evaluation required. I have Sandalwood SS (which I like) and figured I'd try the AS. I think that one has to get a good test to see if it moves forward in the aftershave lineup. I also got Pharaoh's Dreamsicle. Nice, but hard to beat Glacial Lemony Orange or Satsuma if I want orangey citrus. The musk is a nice touch. Got Stirling One and Stirling Green bath soaps. Oooooh, now I regret not grabbing some of the aftershaves from the Black Friday runs. Be well!
