for Mr. Cawtuh.....Course we know it now is available for this and future seasons Stoylin Tony Awards. It's my next Stoylin up following Spice this week.
Hording is not only acceptable behavior, it's encouraged. Especially Stirling. I'm a woodsy and chilly citrus kinda guy. They fit the bill great! tp Enjoy!
Stirling for Him (Versace for Him dupe) was #2 on The Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks. Brut being #1. Then along came Tsuka. It is sentimentality a little hard for be to dethrone King Brut. But Tsuka is right there. Either way SfH sits third now. (yup, hoarded that too)
Thank you for your reply. Sounds like SfH sits pretty high on your list and Andrew also says great things ab0out it - go0d enough for me. I'll be getting to SfH shortly. I'm glad I bought SfH.
SUNDAY 2-22 It was time for some deja vu all over again. Except the Sunday Sunday Shaver instead of the Saturday Sunday Shaver. Preshave - Proraso green Brush - Stirling Badger Bowl - Symmetrical Pottery Lather fuel - Stirling Blood on Steel 2019 (Tsuka) Razor - Dovo 91 Sunday Shaver (Yew) Strop - 30/60 Rasoir Sabre denim/horsehide Post - alum & rinse, Thayers Unscented witch hazel, Proraso Green Aftershave Balm, Trumpers Lime Skin food, Stirling Blood on Steel 2019 (Tsuka) AS splash During my 100 days of Straight Razor Boot Camp I came to the point I knew was going to stick with edge forward shaving devices. I purchased this Razor as my baseline for sharpness to my trainer and it still is for all my straights. It was honed on a coticule by Jarrod at The Superior Shave. It has had some minimal time on pasted strops. The only straight I have that beats it is my Gustave Lalune. In spite of the fact that the Cocobolo scaled Sunday Shaver did so good yesterday, I'm going to work it on my coticule a bit to see if I can bring it up to this one for smoothness. Not a bad shaver but comparison is the root of all inferiority. Same shave but stopped at 3.5 passes, relaxing and fun, just a little smoother.

I really like Gentleman AS. I originally just had the shave soap and didn’t fully appreciate the scent. The splash drove it home and they’re both favorites now.
The Glacial MITA soap followed by the Glacial Unscented balm - what a winning combination! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I know. I got very busy with a bunch of other stuff from South Africa. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I can not remember the last time I used the Parker Variant. Since I was lucky enough to be included in the pass around of the newest invention of Tom White (a really neat custom pair of adjustable razors) I figured I should get reacquainted. Stirling Piacenza - YUP! Stirling Tuxedo - My most used brush Stirling collapsible paddle bowl - gotta be careful not to over aerate Parker Variant - wide open, but I remember being afraid to do so. Personna Blue - not great performers for me, they will go 2 or 3 shaves, but I only use them once. Stirling Piacenza Aftershave Splash - YUP!, from The Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks Totally comfortable. Went my my normal 3.5 passes, 'on pattern'. There are a couple of spots I'll need to re-adjust my pattern the next time. I knew it, but y'all missed it (as if you care). Plenty time to get my adjustables game-on in time for the big event. Next up, my new Gillette Slim from the Raffle. Edison Carter reporting for Network XXIII, or 20 Minutes into the Future.
Need a little help figuring out which orangey soaps to get aftershave or EDT for. I just tried out 3 orangey samples: piacenza, arkadia, and pharoah's dreamsicle. At first whiff and useage I thought I liked arkadia and pharoah's dreamsicle's scents the best. Then this morning I used piacenza and it was just as excellent. What I usually like to do is purchase EDT for the scents I like the absolute best, possibly aftershave if I like it a lot, and maybe just blow off the mediocre or least liked. I'm already putting together another Stirling order up here in Canada that tentatively included some tsuka and orange chill. Long story short, I realized that makes about 5 orangey soap/aftershaves, etc. If I ever get Satsuma, 6! I probably only need or could practically use maybe 3 of those (or 4?). Then there's always the possibility on 1 or 2 of those, a single aftershave could double up on a similar scent as well as its own matched scent. I'm just going around in circles trying to figure it all out. Maybe I'm an orangey kinda guy and didn't realize it. Since you guys are prob more familiar with each of these, could some of you chip in with input and help a brother decide? It'd be much appreciated. Also could save my wife from killing me if she saw I ordered 5 or 6 orange aftershaves!
Beginning tomorrow, 5 straight uses of Stoylin aftershaves happening(2 with 1 shave, 3 for another). I'll clarify this confusion in SOTD.
Oh yeah, they’re a terrific bunch of guys and their stuff is awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Piacenza is a dupe of a century old Italian citrus unisex scent that’s stood the test of time pretty well. There are other dupes of the same scent, so it’s popular. Arkadia’s musk notes make a bolder statement, and create a faster love/hate reaction IMO, though it’s a dupe of a legendary French scent. The Dreamsicle scent has a good vanilla element to it that may place it above Piacenza depending on your nose or mood. I really like it, but I usually like the vanilla notes in various scents whether citrus or tobacco or oud, etc. Of the three I’d eliminate Arkadia if you can only buy two.
Can anyone tell the difference between the regular soaps and the glacial one's? A google search i only found out that it's a sort of clay that they add? Verstuurd vanaf mijn GM1913 met Tapatalk
