    You're bound to get some keepers out of that list, prob a bunch of them. And they last a long time. Have fun!

    Tuesday, July 21, 2020:
    Razor: Merkur 39C Slant Bar
    Blade: Personna Red
    Brush: WCS Beacon Silvertip Badger
    Pre-shave: Proraso Green Tea and Oat
    Soap/Cream: Stirling Executive Man
    AS: Stirling Executive Man AS and Nivea Cooling Post Shave Balm

    Really like the scent of Executive Man. Sixteen hours after the shave, I can still slightly smell the aftershave. Makes wearing a mask a little more pleasant :).

    Thanks, I’m sure I will find a number of keepers out of this batch! According to the tracking info I should receive the package by Friday, but who knows if that’s accurate these days...

    Either way, I look forward to the many fantastic shaves to come!

    @Boojum1 I love your avatar. My to oldest boys (soon to be 8 and 2) recently discovered Shaun the Sheep and we probably watch it on a daily basis just for some giggles.

    Looks like you'll eventually have them all(as samples). Go for Haverford tonight :).

    Just finished my shave with Haverford, and it was fantastic! Beautiful smell - reminded me of a fancy boutique Dr. Pepper scent actually! Lather was wonderful as always, and it was the first time I’ve used a soap without pure white lather.

    thanks for the suggestion, Paul!

    Finished off a tub of Glacial Lemony Orange tonight. This thread was the impetus for Rod to bring that scent back for a brief run. I really enjoy the menthol kick of the glacial soaps in the summer. Refreshing each and every use.

    With just a few exceptions, any of their aftershaves can be glacialed.

    Some nice looking dopp kits as well. Not in the budget at this moment, but I'll be grabbing one of these soon, I think.

    EHH-Ladies and-Uh-Gentlemen:

    Sadly, I've decided to put off the Stoylin Tonys until 2022. The reason is that even by the end of THIS year, due to purchasing two soaps(I just put the order in on one of them now)I'll have much more than enough Stoylin products to work with, try to whittle down, etc. Certainly I have enough soaps RIGHT now to work with, but I just couldn't say no to the new Glacial Electric Sheep, and, as I've said before , I'll be ordering another one(separate from GES) in a couple months or so that will be part of The Most Expensive Order I Have MADe Since Joining TSD. I've had fun doing the Stoylin Tonys, but I think I'll be in good shape for the rest of this year and all of next year(that is, with the addition of the two new shave soaps.). The Tonys will return in 2022....see ya then!!

    Your Stoylin Tonys have been a real blast to read and follow here, Paul! You took a cute and clever idea and turned it into a real source of enjoyment for many of us here. The Stoylin Tonys weren't just fun, they helped us all learn about lots of Stirling products, not just the ones specific to shaving. It was a great idea, Paul, and many thanks for keeping it going like you did! I've really enjoyed following those posts!
