    Sandpiper! That is indeed my favorite scent. I finished this morning's shave with Sandpiper A/S as a matter of fact :)

    Am I grandfathering the Oro Valley soap? I don't see it in the lineup. Maybe he'll bring it back, but all I know is I have it NOW. Great tobaco-like soap.

    How does that Britiish Leather compare to the classic English Leather?

    Wednesday evening - finally home from the hospital:

    Hot shower
    Two hot towels
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Rapira day 3
    Stirling Electric Sheep SS
    Proraso Blue ASB
    English Leather AS Splash

    Does it ever feel good to be BBS again - to be honest I never realized how tough my beard was because I needed SIX passes to get it all off. It was such a pleasure to smell the Electric Sheep soap and to enjoy that awesome rich, slick, soothing lather. The Proraso Blue balm and the English Leather aftershave were both a great pleasurable combination. Nothing much to do now except to rest up and do my physiotherapy. Thank goodness I don’t have so much pain.

    Have a good evening!

    Menthol Monday:

    A sensational Grand Freeze!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Rapira day 7
    Stirling Glacial Citron SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash

    This Junjie may be cheaper than dirt and it’s definitely on the milder as well as the minimal aggressive side but is it ever terrific and efficient particularly if it’s loaded with a sharp blade like a Russian Rapira. As always Rod’s Glacial Citron soap delivered wonderful lather that turned out so thick, rich, incredibly slick, I enjoyed the gorgeous citrusy scent, the menthol sensation hit me like two tons of frigid bricks, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Prep enhanced the soothing and moisturizing while the Glacial Citron aftershave with the same scent as the matching soap and the intense menthol kick made me smell and feel super duper. Three passes gave me another dynamite BBS shave!

    Wishing you all a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    My Grand Freeze for today!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Rapira day 14
    Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
    Prep ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash

    Man oh man I have icicles in my face - even this L’Oréal Men Expert facial Wash has some menthol in it. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap has always been a top favourite of mine and I wish Rod would bring it back. The scent is so gorgeous, the tallow formula gives it such fantastic lather that whips up so easily, there’s lots of slickness as is the case like every Stirling soap, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep delivered its own special postshave care, and the Snake Bite aftershave has no discernible scent but it’s another menthol atom bomb. The Rapira blade gave me one last hoorah with a brilliant three pass BBS shave!

    Wishing everyone a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    What a superb Grand Freeze!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Rapira day 8
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    Menthol to the max this morning - this Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave are both so intense. The scent is absolutely gorgeous - to me it’s more towards strawberry but the lemon is still detectable, the tallow formula promotes such awesome lather with super slickness, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is A1. The Prep and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave were a perfect finish. Three passes gave me a mighty fine BBS shave that was lotsa fun even if I say so myself!

    Wishing you beautiful people a good and blessed Easter Monday!

    Sorry, I put that in the wrong thread-certainly doesn't pertain to Stoylin,

    Menthol Monday:

    Black cherry scented icicles in my face!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/new Rapira
    Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
    Prep ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve last used the Glacial Black Cherry soap so I decided to go with it today. Man oh man I had tons of awesome lather that not only mega frigid, the slickness helped the Junjie/Rapira combo skate across my face, the lovely scent filled the bathroom, and the postshave feeling was so fantastic. The Prep delivered so much additional moisturizing and soothing with a nice cooling boost, the Snake Bite aftershave froze the crap out of me, and it felt heavenly to wear the delightful Bleu de Chanel which is my number one favourite fragrance. Three passes gave me an absolutely magnificent BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

    Have a good week - be well and stay safe!

    Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Rapira day 9
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    This is the setup that I wanted to use yesterday morning but because I was in such a rush to get to an early morning dentist appointment I had to put it off until this morning. Oh my God did it ever feel wonderful - the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap lathered beautifully with my Yaqi Barber Pole synthetic, that scent is so gorgeous, the menthol sensation felt off the charts, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable as well as soothing. The Prep gave me lots of additional cooling, moisturizing and soothing postshave attention, while the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its delightful scent that lasts all day. Three passes gave me a magnificent BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    A super duper Grand Freeze!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Rapira
    Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
    Prep ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    If this kind of setup doesn’t freeze your face off then nothing will - my dear brother Rod’s Glacial MITA is three times colder than the regular version, it has the very same delightful tropical/citrusy scent, the lather explodes off the brush, it gets so rich, creamy, as well as slick and protective, the menthol sensation hits like a ton of icy cold bricks, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep and the Snake Bite aftershave were both a great way to finish up. My 50s Super Speed loaded with a brand new Rapira gave me a most pleasurable three pass BBS shave!

    Wishing y’all a great week - be well and safe!
