SOS: May 2024

I totally agree. My wife and I are hoping to visit Israel for the first time in 2025. She does have family there that we would love to spend time with.

Best wishes,
Paul

 

Others may disagree, but the Sterling Agar is, to my nose, very faint. Not at all as strong or pleasant as the TOBS Oud, even though it has been mentioned before that the TOBS Oud does not contain real Oudh.
Being Sterling it lathers well. This sample is nearly finished, won't be replacing it. Looking forward to getting stuck into my other Sterling samples.

 

Thanks for saving me from a purchase, Mate.

 

Piacere. I don't think it will match the quality of what you already have anyway

 

My pen name for the Stoylin owner(Rod Lovan) is "Doc Ezlovan", as I use his screenname and add "Doc" as he knows his business well. Course "Stoylin" is my pen name for thr popular brand Stirling.

 

DE SOTD, Wednesday, May 15th 2024

Razor : Razorock 2nd Generation Lupo.72 . Introduced Jan 2021, mid range. Excellent machining and finish QC with a unique head design for working under the nose with no blade tab overhang. One of my favorite DE modern razors that checks all the boxes for shaving needs. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : GSB (4) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice unique scented soap(Similar to Aramis classic is my understanding!?) with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Bali" 24mm 3band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Similar to a Cubby bush with a nice bloom that buts a smile on my face.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my RR Lupo.72 with a GSB blade.

Have some great shaves!

 

I'm sure other Ouds are better, but I do like Agar-goes nicely with my Agaidir aftershave.

Aaaand...we once again come to Throwback Thursday. Here it is for tomorrow's fun:

prep-Stoylin Liquid Bodywash(Arkadia)in shower
shave-Jeeves of Hudson Soap(Bay Rum*)
brush-Razorock Plissoft(400)**
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Stephan Bay Rum***

*-not sure when Jeeves began but the product(Bay Rum)brings us back to the 1600s as island pirates used BR for personal hygiene
**-company began in 2009
***-since 1897(Stephan)but 16th century for Bay Rum itself, as noted above.Thus, a double throwback.

Actually, that's the boss of Stoylin Soaps. But you're right-whenever I mention Doc Ezlovan, I'm talkinabout Stoylin.
