    That would stink if your order came just as you left. Course you'd have something to look forward to later.

    Only 1/3 of the way through NB19, so no shaving stuff for me. But I did just order some bath soaps so I can check out the new scents.

    Uh..Ladies and Gentlemen:\

    Well, it's that time again-welcome to Round 2 of the 2020 Stoylin Tony Awards! Just a few table scraps to clean up before we find out the winner of Nomination #2.

    1)-As you recall, I made the announcement that I'm doing a slight rule change this year, well two actually. The first is that there are 5 dates for nominations this year, not 4. This way, I have more time between Round 4 and the "Best In Show" announcement of the winner and runnerup on New Year's Day to make my decisions. In addition, there won't be as much "waiting patiently" time between rounds. The second rule change is that I am widening the nomination choices to a combination of ANY 2 products(not just aftershave&shave soap).

    2)-As we recall, Nomination #1 went to Agar in both the soap and aftershave.

    3)-Once again, a product from the previous year that didn't win Best In Show can be re-nominated in the following year.
    4)-I reserve the right to make a purchase of ANY Stoylin throughout the year, but that particular purchase cannot be a Tony nomination in said year.
    And now, HERE WE GO: The winning pair for Round 2 of the 2020 Stoylin Tony Awards IS:

    Aftershave-Xecutive Man
    Brush-Synthetic 2-band 24 X 56

    Congrats to these fine products and we'll see 'em on New Year's Day 2020 for the Best In Show Competition. And we'll see YOU for Round 3 on July 4.

    Great picks Paul. Executive Man is one of favorite scents period and I love both of my Stirling brushes (I have a Synthetic and a Badger). Great stuff!!

    Sometime after we get mixed into the new building. Basically, when I finally get a free minute to breathe. :)

    Haven't decided yet. Those two have just sold really slow the last two years. I'm considering a Glacial Pineapple and a Glacial Coconut Lime.

    Glacial Pineapple would make @Linuxguile's world! That would be awesome.

    Would make mine too.....Boston summers can be just as humid and muggy as Alabama. Course Lino lives in dry country.

    Ok, got a birthday coming up end of this week. So of course I use that as an excuse to buy samples of Stirling.
    Here are my scent preferences, y'all tell me what options y'all recommend.
    Lime, Irish Tweed inspired (of course)
    Sandlewoood, cedarwood, rose and of course have to have at least one menthol.
    I can order 5 or 6 samples.
    Ready...... Go!

    Not all menthol soaps are created equal. Are you looking for just a touch of menthol, or do you want it to haul off and smack you? Anything named "Glacial" would be the latter. Orange Chill, Iced Pineapple, Gin & Tonic on the Rocks are more in the touch of menthol category.
    Frozen Tundra has a little more menthol, but still way less than a glacial.
    Sharp Dressed Man is Green Irish Tweedish. So is Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo.

    And it's not a scent you listed, but I highly recommend grabbing a sample of Electric Sheep.

    Scent Description

    Piacenza is close to Parma. A blend of citrus, florals, Rosemary, Amber, and musk. A scent for the ages.

    Happy Birthday!
