    Very nice shave Jim. Starting to see a Veg trend on the thread. Never tried the stuff.

    Thank you, Joe.
    The Veg and I didn't hit it off at first but I've come to really enjoy it. It is a polarizing scent. The bottle I have is probably from the 70's or 80's. Cost me twelve bucks for the aftershave and twelve fifty shipping.

    Thank you Andrew. I managed to get a decent night's sleep which was a big improvement.

    Great shave, Jim! Why do you want to smell like a urinal cake?

    Thanks, Jeff! It was a great shave!
    I'm not in the habit of sniffing urinal cakes so I'll defer to you as the expert.

    If Tabac is the stuff of real men,
    It’s time to examine your den,
    Because somewhere along,
    You’ve gone totally wrong,
    And confused testosterone with estrogen!

    Much better shave this morning than yesterday. Final day(for now)of the current Stoylin Glacial soap set. I switched to the Stoylin Glacial aftershave(Lime). 0:30 to load the Jayaruh #59 with the good stuff(for these hot days anyway). Good sweeping action, making sure not to miss anything. As I began the shave, I knew my main goal...BE CAREFUL WITH YESTERDAY'S CUT. And thanks to applying a little extra soap over the cut as a protector, I was. :). Another switch I made was going to hotter water. In previous shaves with the Glacials I felt I didn't want to mix in hot with the cold soap. This morning, there was something in me that said "Ah c'mon, you did that when you had the Wintergreen, right? That worked, didn't it?" The flashback allowed me to try hotter water over the Glacial Elec. Sheep, and it didn't prevent me from feeling the freeze. It made for a better shave. The coldness still came through. No cuts, no Knicks. All areas checked out. I realize it's too early to compare, but I believe the Stoylin Glacial aftershave is colder than Osage Rub. Not by much. Anyway...very pleased with the work..Top Of The World Excellent.
