    Time for a week-end double whammy with BoS :). I'm not sure if I made a comment after my first use, but I will tomorrow.

    I gifted my Varen sample to a coworker. It’s one of only a couple scents that I actually dislike enough to not even attempt. Vetiver is the other. Actually The Veg is a third, but I braved it twice without success.

    Out of curiosity, if you could pick only 1 or 2 of these shapes which would it be?

    Bottom center one.

    And in the Ginger/Mary Ann debate, it’s Genie for the win. :D

    Shoot, that one is supposed to mean you like fougeres. I guess this hokey stuff doesn't work after all

    I think I do like Fougeres. I need to study the scent wheel some more I guess, and decide who I’m supposed to be.:D

    I know that Ozark Mtn, Christmas Eve, SDM, Gatlinburg, Barbershop and Haverford are some of my very favorites of the “heavy/earthy/cold season” scents. But I’m a complex man. :D

    My second go-round with the Blood on Steel this morning. I did a full commentary on 30DC, but on here I'll just say that this is a scent that has kind of thrown me off stride a bit. My "Old factory" sense is still working on this one (olfactory, chuk yuk yuk). But I'm glad to have it in both the soap&A.S.

    I believe the Barbershop shave soap was my first ever Stoylin item.

    Soap: Stirling Ozark Mountain
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Ozark Mountain aftershave

    Ozark Mountain is such a wonderful scent. I like to use it a lot in December as something in the scent reminds me of the holidays. Used some Frost Drops and bowl lathered, but the Frost Drops had congealed toward the top and I had to stir it up with a Q-tip and then shake like mad. I think it got hot in the mailbox when it was delivered, but a little TLC got it all in good shape again.

    Wonderful shave all around.

    That's what I do with my Frost Drops....shake it all over the map.

    Not to side-track our Shave of the Day theme, but I’m still recovering from being blown away by Haverford. Has anyone here used Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille to compare? I assume Rod has, and even if his formula is 90% close, I’m considering saving up for a bottle of the original.
