    I wanna place an order for some un-needed shave products and some needed bath soap and shampoo bars. Ramblin Man seems to be doing well. But......

    I knew there'd be a BUT somewhere, Mr. Cawtuh.

    I actually have a tub of it. It is on deck for tomorrow, but it is a bit different than I expected. I am curious if anyone else had already tried it.

    Unless you're like some of us who buy it now and later.

    I suppose you have a valid point. I just splurge on two to three soaps, or a couple hundred blades, or a brush, you get the point and feel guilty, lol, so I stop for a little while. Plus I'm sure some of you have more disposable income than I.

    MAYhem 5 SOTD:

    Razor: Gillette Red Tip
    Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless
    Brush: Razorock 400
    Lather: Stirling Varen
    Aftershave: Stirling Varen
    Additional Care:

    So, I was a bit surprised when the tub arrived at how similar to Glastonbury the scent was out of the tub. Not at all what I was expecting. When I lathered it, though, it chat fed quite a bit. The oakmoss and floral scents really started to come through. The soap is a very dry fougere, the cologne and AS are a bit sweeter. On the dry down the florals come out even more. Stirling's description is "powerful", and I would say this is definitely true. It is a big scent. Nicely done, but I do prefer the Ramblin Man.

    Thanks Rob, it's a great razor. A little more aggressive then an N but less aggressive then a G.

    I think Ramblin Man may be top 10 material. I like it much better then SDM and it is right up there with DBS, and Stirling For Him.

    I would put it ahead of Stirling For Him, personally. DBS, Haverford, and Ramblin' Man are all at the top of the Stirling list for me.
