    Remind me to acknowledge you on 1-1-20 at the Stoylin 2020 Tony Awards Winner&Runner-up announcement, for having the biggest order I've ever seen to date.

    Thanks Paul. I haven't had the pleasure of trying Gentleman or Hipster. With everyone's comments I just had to try them out.

    Well, I was goofy-looking that year as I tossed my graduation cap(from college) into the air, looking just like him, with sunglasses. But as the cap returned to earth, I returned to mature manhood :).

    I liked Gentleman a lot, and I'm putting Hipster on hold due to a potential health concern(as it contains grapefruit among its other ingredients).

    I should add though(and @john zeiger knows this)that Gentleman came in second to Sandpiper during my first sample set.

    For you Paul doesn't everything fall short of Sandpiper? ;) Not that I blame you one bit. Stirling..."Something for everyone. "

    At this writing, perhaps it does :). I do love it. I have my eye on some others as well, but we'll see if they get chosen as Tony nominees :). Already I'm thinking this year's Tonys will be tougher than last year.

    Perhaps you could come up with a category for each quarter like “best new soap”, “best cologne profile”, “most novel scent” etc and then have the “best overall” be your final quarterly pick. Just an idea.

    I appreciate your idea and help, Randy....I'm sure there will be some time this year to ponder changes, if any, for the 2021 Stoylin Tonys.

    Beautiful Timeless @jluc! How does that .95 feel? I have a plaid handle and have been debating on which plate to get. I was leaning toward the .68 for a milder shave for my skin but was wondering if it would be too mild?

    Thank you!
    I made this purchase early on in my wet shaving journey. I too was debating which baseplate to get. I haven't tried the .68 so I can't offer a comparison but the .95 is a wonderful razor that I have no issues using daily. Timeless does have the 30 day return policy. I look forward to seeing your new razor!

    I need some help. I'm putting together an order for a few items and need suggestions. I'm for sure getting the Barbershop and Ozark Mountain EDT's to go with the matching soap and aftershave I already own. I'm looking to pick up 2 more sets (soap, AS and EDT) and can't make up my mind on what to get. I'm pretty sure I'm getting Sharp Dressed Man as I have a similar scent from Route 66, Twisted Tweed, that I love the scent of but Stirling's performance is better. My requirement is that it has to be available in a EDT but otherwise I'm open to suggestions. What's your favorite scent?

    I haven't tried any of the EdTs yet, but what about Sandpiper? It's a fantastic scent. Another that comes to mind is Baker Street.

    I havent tried the EDT's yet but here are a few soap suggestions that are available in EDT

    Stirling Gentleman is my favorite
    Baker Street
    Executive Man

    You will probably get a slew of recommendations though as there are so many good scents
