The Stirling Exchange

Same here, but I may buy the new razor that Rod's developed and is testing right now. Heard it might come on the website around Christmas.

It was absolutely unnecessary, unneeded, and overboard. I just don't have any need for more brushes.

The Stirling Fan badger I have is great. I hope this takes it up a notch. My fav brush feel is the one $impson $uper I have, but it is much $maller.

Let you all know what I think!

 

one of stirling's finest imo..

 

I agree, Gary! Sandpiper is a wonderful scent.

 

I'll be using Ozark Mountain a good bit this month. It has a holiday scent to me that I quite enjoy. It's also a good fall and winter scent and the weather is turning colder and the leaves falling, so it fits right in. Looking forward to some great shaves!

 

yes sir..very cool avatar..need the leg lamp....

 

Agreed! I forgot what it dupes, but I feel pretty fancy when smelling like it.

 

Thanks, Gary! I will change it to the leg lamp at some point this month.

 

ysl la nuit de l'homme..barely visible in pic unfortunately..but there in spirit....

 

It's a dupe of Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'Homme. Really nice.

 

I just shaved with Ozark Mountain. It’s snowing hard outside and I’m not quite ready to kick into Christmas Mode where I’ll bask in the equally wonderful scent Christmas Eve.

OM is a perfect outdoor and cold weather scent. I just try to limit myself from always using it, otherwise my other soaps get jealous. I’m also a little nervous that this particular puck is extra special, and it’s backup only has normal greatness.

 

Thanks. I’m not great with names..............and that one is a doozy.

 

Thanks..........and you’re avitar is perfect!

Is your new avatar Wilson, or an old photo of you? Could pass for a clone of me at that age.

 

It's the little boy from the movie A Christmas Story. His name in the movie is Ralphie. This is where Santa pushes him down the slide after he asks for the BB gun.

 

Thank you very much. I appreciate the order, and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season as well.

 

I do. We're working on MITA, Haverford, Triumph, Witchy Woman, and an attempt to make the Barbershop stronger right now.

 

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and picked something up over the weekend. I am in your debt. It's been a fun weekend. Our first ever Black Friday weekend when we have an actual storefront and we had an absolute disaster. We had more customers in store on Friday and Saturday than we have in a normal month, and the whole place stunk like death. Normally customers walk in and say it smells so nice, and of all weekends, it smelled like rotting carcass. We had to keep all the doors open and it was freezing cold the whole time. Spent all day Sunday drilling holes in the floor with a small wire camera, and finally ended up having to take the circular saw and cut two large holes in the floor to pull out a dead and rotting possum that had crawled under the crawl space of the building and died up near the storefront. I was absolutely mortified and embarrassed every time we had a customer come in this weekend. We're still cleaning up the mess today, but at least the stench is gone. We covered the spot with 80 lbs of lime, and I dumped a leftover jug of Stirling One aftershave on the pile as well to cover any residual.

Now I'm going to go fix another coffee and get back to all the emails that came in yesterday....
