    Is this soap supported strongly by the ABA (Anti-Bloomers Of America-what you thought I meant American Bar Association?)

    Thank you Daniel. It has been so dry here that all the leaves are just turning brown and falling. I seem to have better results taking photos outside. I have trouble when I’m not using natural light.

    No thanks-appreciate your offer, but I don't do soap samples well...don't know why that is.

    Thanks! I like your pics, you are editing them in a completely different way, and doing it right (not that there is a right and a wrong way, but i like the results)! How are the PAA soaps? Been thinking of trying some, when i have the money to actually do so.

    The soaps would be better to try than the aftershaves, if it's a money issue. $24.95 doesn't cut it for me(the aftershave price).

    Thanks Daniel! Don't forget, I have 105 shavette shaves and 103 traditional straight razor shaves under my belt so that kind of helps a bit. I still consider myself a newbie even with that many shaves.

    Oh....well then, as VEEP of our Pro-Bloomers organization, I will have to take this fact into serious consideration.

    Thanks for the tip! Had to look it up, and yeah, 32€ or something like that. Not going to pay that much, no matter how good it is.

    I may get a soap, but I'd have to be sure I have a solid aftershave(from a different company) to match it. And you're welcome.

    Thank you! PAA makes some good soaps and AS. The performance is very good, with a slight advantage to their CK-6 base over the CK-1. To me, that is mostly in post shave feel. It is hard to beat their scent line up.

    "A bit" :D That's quite a good amount of practice still. I felt quite uncomfortable using my left hand, but it wasn't as hard as i thought. I'll do a 30day (or longer) focus with my SRX at some point, but not quite yet. Maybe next year.

    Even though the new scents keep coming, Tombstone and Home On The Range are my favs to try(as soaps).

    I don't know, Paul. I don't pay attention to that particular group.

    A couple of considerations on this: First the AS are strongly scented, so a little goes a long way. They out last other AS, in my experience. The cost per use is not as high as one may find. And, once again, I find the post shave feel to be top notch.

    Get a couple of samples before judging, as I think you will find they have some good staying power , much more so that typical AS. It is hard to judge something properly if you haven't tried it.

    Well, you're right, and I'll consider it(the samples). If they are the same size as Doc Ezlovan's at Stoylin, I don't know though....I love Stoylin in general, but when I use them(the A.S. samples) the first time, I feel like "Johnny One-Note". One and done. One trick pony.
