    Oh no John....the way I go through soaps the BoS will still be here in 2021 I bet. I've had the Sandpiper for a couple of years now, but you wouldn't know it if you saw it. And we know how much I love THAT woman!!! :). But I'm already committed to a 2021 Tony Awards, since I made reference to that year at the Roundtable.

    I take it you now have 6 bars...3 from Stoylin and 3 from Pasteur on your second trip? I'll try to drum up some recognition for you.

    Actually I didn’t buy the shampoo bars at Pasteur. They weren’t a scent I was interested in and I thought I should leave them there for someone who wants one.

    But I’m in the city frequently, and I’ll keep checking. If the same bars are still there next month I’ll buy a couple to give as gifts. To keep the inventory circulating.

    I had 5 bars and am down to the three I recently ordered. I’m working through my newish Mountain Man and have a Bergamot Lavender in the wings. My son just finished his Island Man and also has a Mountain Man he’s now using.

    They're great, Gary. My skin feels soft and moisturized. The small amount it takes to achieve plenty of lather makes them a great value too.

    I just have a comment....it appears the Barbershop is either sold out or missing.

    I'm sure Doc Ezlovan has the lowdown on this.

    I've never used a shampoo "bar" before. I suppose you just rub it ferociously into your hand(s) and apply as you would any shampoo?

    Easiest shampoo you’ll ever have. No ferocity required. Lightly rub the bar directly on your hair until you get the desired lather. I wear my hair short, and it’s thinning, so I literally rub it on my hair for about 2 seconds. I have soft water and it lathers up fast and full. With just that amount I have enough excess lather to apply some extra any other place I wish...:shocked003:...lol. Usually down my back. :happy088:

    My wife has a full head of long hair and it didn’t work for her. She said it took too long to lather (opposite of my experience). I think part of that was that our water softener was broken at the time she tried it. But long hair will certainly require more product and more effort.

    For $5, you owe it to yourself to try! I did try a menthol version, only once, because I don’t want menthol in my eyes, so consider that. Others here have said they enjoy a mentholated soap on other parts of their body...:happy097: :rofl::happy102:.

    YMMV! :cool:

    I am protest boycotting the Stirling - Turner Awards this year, but I will be having the aura of the Mostest Glorious Stank.
