Two years ago I won an NOS puck and mug in the box for $28. Back then they were going as high as $50. I still haven't talked myself into using it. I may do it this summer though. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
Well, as I say, I waited too long and it kind of "crumbled up" is the best way I can describe it. Not like a slice of bread, but the scent was gone and I decided I'd make a mistake waiting. For that matter, I haven't yet used the Burma Shave cake, and I fear the same would happen. Seems that would work best in the colder temperatures, but what I may do is try is this summer followed by Aqua Velva, Mennen Skin Bracer or Gent's Gin to help get SOME cold out of it.
And now, an update......I'm going to try it TOMORROW. . Thank you @chevyguy for helping me decide to go at it sooner than later.
The Frozen Tundra felt so heavenly this morning - the scent reminds me quite a bit of the Glacial Wintergreen!
SOTD July 3rd Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap EDRIO #88 Gillette Aristocrat #66 Sharp Star (2) 30DC 2019 Meetup brush (28mm, Destroyer Class) Stirling Blood on Steel soap and AS Stirling Tsuka EdT Mmm mmmm this is a great smelling soap. A little sweet and spicy, will probably get more use during the colder months for me. A couple of shots of the Stirling Tsuka EdT to keep this most glorious stank going all day. Have a great day and happy 4th, friends! Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
Paul, should you encounter another puck of vintage soap there are ways to make use of it. With my vintage Colgate Cup Soap I didn't get an acceptable lather trying to load from the puck. The outside had hardened, turned a little yellow. I cut the puck up into small sugar cube sized pieces, put it in an Old Spice mug, and added hot water. The inside of the soap puck was in great usable shape. By exposing and reforming the puck I now get good old fashioned Colgate lather. Very little scent, but the hard puck soaps age well if kept dry.
Thanks for the tip.....there are indeed a few cracks on the Burma Shave, but I think I'll just add hot water as it is, then shower to send more steam, then rinse out the water, then begin the shave process. That's what I did with my Wlliams'. I'll try your way if there's a problem.
Yuh LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: After consultation with my staff(me), the nominations for the 3rd Stoylin Tony Awards(2020) are in.....will publicize tomorrow, of course. Don't lose any sleep tonight.
Andrew, are you saying Stirling BoS can be used all year round or would you just use it for fall and winter.
And now more Stoylin news-my 3 Frost Drops&Mentha Scrub Bath/Hand soap order is here: Doc Ezlovan flipped in a Mtn. Man A.S. balm. I was a bit startled at first, because the Mtn. Man balm was on top of the Mentha Scrub, and I thought-"Where's the Mentha"? But I saw it....problem solved.
You're going to have to miss it? Never fear. We at radio station @wchnu will arrange for you to have a transcript. .
I prefer sweeter "heavier"scent in the fall and winter and "lighter" fruity scents in the spring and summer. This doesn't mean I won't use it in warmer weather should the mood strike me but I will reach for it more in the cooler months. Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
