Inspired by @madmedic to take a short break from my straights and brush the dust off my Focus R48 to go for a spin. If I could pull the shave moves like that off with a straight, I believe I could also castrate flies in mid-air. This is the only razor I use that I ALWAYS 'chase the baby'. Since I don't have any Williams, I am forced to proclaim this PiacenzDay Wednesday. Piacenza (inspiration Parma) ranks high on the MaxHeadroom list of Most Glorious Stanks. I could do this every day even though I'm a closet Brutfan. I suspect that Rod discontinued his deodorant line because people found the product more viscous than conventional deodorant sticks. I found that if preceded by a couple of sprays of isopropyl alcohol it glides right on. I wish I'd have bought up a bunch, it is the most effective deodorant I've ever used. Be well!
Paul you realize the precarious position you put this 'Stirling Fanboy' in to list his least favorite Stirling aroma. But to satisfy inquiring minds AND prefacing with the disclaimer that Stirling has something for everyone...... Port au Prince. Just couldn't find a way to like the vetiver. Unfortunately trying to get used to it gave me an unrational fear of being buried alive without a box. And I am now sensitized to it and find myself questioning other stuff containing it.
I do realize that, Mr. Cawtuh....perhaps I should have withdrawn. If anything, I suppose the answer helps Doc Ezlovan in some way, as we do see lists of critical comments as we look at other products.(Stoylin&everything else). Having said this, we know that with Stoylin the positive outweighs the negative.
I just noticed that I need to do a review on the Stoylin website of my Sandpiper soap and aftershave. I thought I did one for the aftershave, but I don't see it. I'll have to get this baby rectified. (Note-how does one rectify a baby?).
Really though, I have no doubt that the good Doc will totally exonerate himself by making another run of the highly esteemed Stirling for Him, 'for me'. After all, he did produce a run of the awesome Glacial Lemony Orange for us.
Thank you fellas for your......uh....."assistance" and "encouragement" in me getting my Sandpiper soap review in. The Baby Has Been Rectified. Or, from that Beatles song, sung by George Harrison: THE FUTURE STILL LOOKS GOOD. AND YOU GOT TIME TO REC-TI-FY ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD
I sit here tonight as one proud Papa Bear. My daughter is on break from college and made her own Stirling order even though I had bought her several of the new scents. Queen of Hearts still seems to be the big winner so far but shesh trying to get a few of her friends to try as well. On another note, I used my Hipster set. Truly rich manly scent. Going after full sizes very soon. I also tried the EMP sample EdT for a few days. Wow! Soooo much better than EM. The Pineapple is smooth and the smoky notes are sultry, not campfire or ash tray. To be honest with all of you, I'm tired of seeing the bad reviews for EMP not being Executive Man. It's an entirely different scent...read the description! (If you want EM only, buy more EM) I hope that EMP comes out in a full line.

By the way, fellas....I had to be careful while writing my Sandpiper Shavesoap review to say Stirling, not Stoylin.
Awesome picture! Sure wish that I had that beautiful machine but you reminding me of the great scent of DBS cheers me right up!
Yet more love for Deep Blue Sea. I'm going to get a set eventually but I need to continue to purge my den first.
For part of next week I'll have the Spice out(both A.S and soap). I was a little upset the last time I used it-the burn got to me more that I thought it would. I'll need to be a little more conservative with it next time. I say "it"-couldn't tell if it was the soap, A.S., or both.
