The Stirling Exchange

I got my samples today and they all smell good. I didn't shave tonight but put a little Texas On Fire A/S on before I went to visit with my mother. She asked if I was burning trash or a brush pile. LOL. After sitting with her for about an hour, she started to like the smell saying she could smell cinnamon and leather. I dig it but that first few minutes its kinda rough. Reminds me of sitting around a bond fire passing around a bottle of Fireball. My bathroom smells like Black Cherry as in my order, I was gifted a sample of Black Cherry bath soap. I'll be using Executive Man tomorrow for my shave. It smells amazing. Ozark Mountain is on standby for Wednesdays shave. I think I'll be ordering full sizes of these along with the A/S's plus more samples. I could be hooked.

 

Thanks for that. I'm still on the fence about TOF, but the cinnamon/leather part sounds better than burning trash . I have Baker St. up for use this week(beginning Tuesday, for a couple days. I was PIFed that myself(gifted).

 

Ain’t nothing like lemony scented icicles in your face on a Menthol Monday morning!

awesome shave Jeff..

 

As part of my shave description for today, I wrote that I witnessed some "chunks" in the Baker Street soap. I know Doc Ezlovan doesn't use clay(Bentonite or Kaeolin), so it puzzled me to see them. Perhaps they are the result of strong loading? I don't know. I don't recall seeing any "chunks" in my other Stoylin soaps. That aside, it was a real good shave.

 

I just moved my Spice "team" up to the front of the bus/den. Soap, A.S., AND....a small bottle of Talcum Powder from Shulton Old Spice(came as a P.I.F.).

 

Just finished up with Christmas Eve! What another fantastic scent. and yes, I used a DE this time hahaha

 

I had a great SOTD today with Texas On Fire, anyone else out there love this scent? It is sooooo smokey, I love that, and is not too watered down with accompanying scents to lighten it up, it is a perfect fall scent to me.

I've had my eye on it.....would you say "smokey" as in "natural" smoke, or that from an ash tray?

 

It is more of a natural smoke (bonfire, outdoor fire smoke). I love it because it is just a natural smell with not artificial sweetening scents to it, it's smoke in the face, which I Love!!!

 

My review of Baker St. aftershave is in. Man, I came close to saying "Stoylin"....reversed course just in time!!!

 

I've "almost" made that mistake in my videos a couple of tiems lol

 

cool shave Andrew..

 

I'll be waiting for your mistake to happen ).

 

Andrew, are you grandfathering that, or do we think it might come back soon? Great scent(courtesy of a page from Men's Health Magazine. )

 

Thanks Gary!

 

I hope it will make another appearance for Black Friday. If it does will will have to pull a @Edison Carter and get a backup set, or two.

 

I plead the 5th...... That means I'm well along on 1 of 5 'Blood on Steel'.

I missed Stirling One. Got some hand soap. Not sure if it is for me though..

I will never surrender Tsuka!

 

Black Friday is like 3 weeks out. Save you pocket change gentlemen.
