    Thanks to Andrew @Linuxguile for the sample of Stirling Bonaparte.

    I will say this about the soap. Typical Stirling quality; typical Stirling slickness; typical Stirling post-shave.
    All quite good as anyone who has ever used Stirling.
    However, a "Veg-clone"...:rolleyes005: Not even close.
    In fairness to Rod, I have never read that is supposed to be a knock-off of Pinaud's Lilac Vegetal. There is no longer

    a description of the soap on his website. Therefore, if it wasn't intended to be a clone, I humbly apologize.
    I will say, however, I really do enjoy the scent. It's nice and SWMBO, while commenting first on the menthol,
    liked it as well. It should be noted that she does not care for the VEG.
    Today I used another razor that I honed myself. Wade & Butcher. Not nearly as successful as yesterday's
    Red-Injun. :( It wasn't as sharp and I was compelled to perform multiple passes to achieve the results
    I had yesterday with fewer. This one's going back to the stones.
    My face is still smooth and just as handsome (let's see who reads this far ;)) I simply think that I can do better.
    I picked some very nondescript post-shave products today.
    Splashed on some Thayer's Medicated Witch Hazel, followed by Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB.
    All-in-all, a successful shave, albeit one that has room for improvement.

    There are four parks in Disney World - Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. There are several hotel/resort areas and all are linked with on-site transportation. You can get a park hopper pass that allows you to go to any park. We always have park hopper because it frees you up to do all the activities you want.

    Congrats on the start of a new doughnut hole in the soap Brian, I look forward to the celebration parade. This time of year the socks will be needed. I’m in school this week which is the only reason I have been keeping up here.

    That's the most convincing argument so far. Carry on @SharptoothC. Your rule is intact. The score is Q to 12.

    Thank you, Paul. While @NCoxSTL is broadcasting from the Fox studio, he'll give the 30DC the "Carol Burnett" sign. Of course, that assumes he hasn't removed his left ear lobe in a shaving accident.
