Boker Tov Jeff I totally agree. My wife and I are hoping to visit Israel for the first time in 2025. She does have family there that we would love to spend time with. Best wishes, Paul
Others may disagree, but the Sterling Agar is, to my nose, very faint. Not at all as strong or pleasant as the TOBS Oud, even though it has been mentioned before that the TOBS Oud does not contain real Oudh. Being Sterling it lathers well. This sample is nearly finished, won't be replacing it. Looking forward to getting stuck into my other Sterling samples.
My pen name for the Stoylin owner(Rod Lovan) is "Doc Ezlovan", as I use his screenname and add "Doc" as he knows his business well. Course "Stoylin" is my pen name for thr popular brand Stirling.

Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice unique scented soap(Similar to Aramis classic is my understanding!?) with excellent lather qualities. Brush : Yaqi "Bali" 24mm 3band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Similar to a Cubby bush with a nice bloom that buts a smile on my face. Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area. Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups. Post shave : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).

Actually, that's the boss of Stoylin Soaps. But you're right-whenever I mention Doc Ezlovan, I'm talkinabout Stoylin.
