Great pic again, Jim. You've probably already commented on it, but what do you think of the Glastonbury?
There are many Myrsol products that I really like. I find the Formula C smells more like medicine. My face doesn't feel refreshed at all.
July 26th Gillette NEW LC w Lord platinum (3) TFS Farinik TGN Boar Thayers Barrister's Reserve Spice Day 13 of the NEW focus, 3rd with a Lord. First day with this soap. It is different than my other TFS soap- it is firmer and less 'croapy' than my other and doesn't contain lanolin like the Mastro Miche. Whipped up a nice lather. Andrew, @Linuxguile, you are right about the cinnamon- it and citrus are the dominant scents, but I also pick up some other spices as well. Nutmeg? Clove? Who knows, I'm definitely not a scent aficionado. Nice 3 pass near BBS with again focussing on skin stretching upward and opening my mouth to change the angle on my jawline. The Spice paired very nicely with this soap. Have a great day all!
The way you take pictures, Clint, a Mach 3, a can of Foamy and a plastic Omega travel brush would look world class.
I'm thinking the same thing, but I didn't have the patience to put a new soap away for 4 months without trying it once!
Thank you, Jason! I really like Glastonbury. It is a mutton tallow formula, and Stirling mutton tallow soaps are among my favorites. The scent is woodsy and grassy, with a bit of sweetness in the background. The last two Stirling soaps I have ordered have been Glastonbury and Sandalwood, and these may be now my favorite two Stirling scents. Previously, I would have said Ben Franklin, but now I am not so sure. Another kicker for the Glastonbury was the comment I got from my wife this morning. If I new I would get that reaction all the time, I would probably use Glastonbury only from now on.
Jason, the brush is stunning with the TGN Boar knot. After you get a feel for the TGN boar knot can you let us know what you think? I have always been curious about them.
I've had it for several months now and it is well broken it. It performs okay, but after using it, I do wish it had more loft. It is only set at 11mm, so I believe it just needed to be made with longer hairs. It is also a true 'bulb' which gives it a little different look from a lot of boars.
