    My Haverford puck is tucked away in the back of my soap drawer. I'm saving it for those cold Kansas winter days. More of a cool weather scent in my opinion.

    Yes, I would agree with this. I’m not much of a scents for seasons kind of guy, but if I was to assign a season to Haverford it would be a cold weather scent for sure.

    Very nice Andrew! 9 out of my 17 soaps are Stirling thanks to you. Lol!

    This soap continues to impress me. Excellent complex scent, fantastic performance, and outstanding post-shave. This was a truly enjoyable shave.

    Quick question: how similar are Iced Pineapple and Executive Man?

    I’ve been super curious about Iced Pineapple for a while now, but I am unable to order a soap sample.

    Would you guys recommend just taking the plunge and ordering a 5.8oz tub?

    I really like EM, and I quite enjoy a bit of chill with my shaves, so I am thinking this could be a good match.

    Thanks

    PS - how would Iced Pineapple shave soap and Executive Man EDT match up? Would they be a complimentary combo?

    That's a no brainer. If you like pineapple and the Aventus scent and menthol, Iced Pineapple is the absolute bomb. I use my Iced Pineapple with several Aventus inspired A/S and cologne, all great matches.

    Well, that's a glowing review if I've ever heard one! I just placed an order for a puck of Iced Pineapple and a bottle of Executive Man EDT... Now we wait.

    Just finished the "Sophisticate" hand/bath soap(meant as a bath soap, but I use it at the sink for hand-washing), and now the Barbershop hand-soap is set to go.

    What are your thoughts on the Sophisticate scent? How would you describe it?

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic - three times as much menthol as the original version with the same lovely citrusy/tropical scent, the same wonderful, super slick lather, and such great skincare. The Glacial Unscented balm is so moisturizing as well as soothing along with a powerful menthol sensation, and the Alcolado Glacial menthol splash works so well as an aftershave. My cologne today was Chabrawichi 555 which is from Egypt - an extremely cheap brand which smells very nice - it’s a mixture of lemon and lavender. Egyptian barbershops use it on their customers. My Minora blade is still performing so brilliantly - my shave was perfectly BBS!

    Be healthy and stay safe!

    I'd say a combination of Vanilla and Sandalwood. Maybe some barbershop, too. Doc Ezlovan sure gave it the proper title, as it does provide that "sophisticateD feeling". I wonder if he plans to make it into a shavesoap/aftershave set? Hope so.
