    I'll look forward to your video on Sandpiper. (If you think that's a hint, let me say this-"You probably aren't wrong") :).

    Well, after SEVEN weeks of only using hair clippers to knock back the whiskers while my gun arm.........I mean shaving, toothbrushing, writing, eating, wiping, truck shifting arm healed from a big shoulder surgery, I finally got back to wet shaving!!:cool:

    Tragically I’ve already missed most of the spring and summer “shaving season,” so I my first shave HAD to be MITA, including witch/aloe and AS. The next day was another MITA day. Day three I enjoyed one of my favorite summer scents.........Coconut Lime, and matching glacial AS. Finally on day four (today) I attacked my Satsuma sample that’s been drying out in my display mug and finished off with Battle Cat.

    Satsuma isn’t going to be a keeper scent, so I enjoyed the Battle Cat feeling without worrying about clashing scents.

    Anyway, I’m back in the game, and trying to enjoy my collection of summer scents before it’s time to break out the cool weather soaps.

    Glad to have you back LL. I was wondering how you were doing.

    Ramblin Man this morning....I doubt I'd use it in humidity, but it's pleasant this week-end, therefore I figured I'd give it a go. It has a good head start(my PIFer used it a few times, I recall).

    Iced Pineapple for me this morning. One of my favorite scents. The menthol was very comfortable - I guess I'm getting used to it. Next year I'll have to try a glacial.

    Next week appears to have 3 days cooler than what we've seen here in August. There's sure to be a Stoylin one of those days(or more) ready to go. Maybe Sandpiper. Maybe that BoS. We shall see. :).

    Here's a Ramblin Man report for you to consider-my RM made it through my gym workout this morning!(that is, the scent is still on me).

    Can't go wrong with either one but IMO BoS is Stoylin Tony worthy so I personally would go with that :)

    @john zeiger , you're the second Stoyliner to say that(Mr. Cawtuh was first, after all he was the PIFer. )

    I know - he is a very generous person.

    He put in many uses of it before sending it to me. More than the Ramblin Man and Baker Street(which I believe Andrew sent-I may be losing track of my PIFers. Ahhh, it's just old age(62).

    He broke it in just right for you.

    You're right John....since the BoS A.S. he sent me was pretty small-2 oz.not one of Doc Ezlovan's sizes. It might just be the the soap and A.S. finish at about the same time.

    That's good new's, most aftershaves don't have staying power when you're sweating. I've heard that Ramblin Man has an Irish Spring type scent?. What do you think Paul?.

    Is he allowed to say it PIFed him off?

    Probably safe to use knowing he don't subscribe to double dipping.

    The Bakers Street AS matches up really well with the Dove Expert Shave SC.

    It's been ages since I last used Irish Spring...probably since I was a teen-ager using the deodorant soap. Makes it tough to describe as Irish-Spring-like, going back that far. Perhaps the "citrus" top note leads one to it, but I don't know. The green bottle could be another clue.
