Barbershop Wednesday I went for the MLB experience today. Fresh classic barbershop scent filled my bathroom as the Lather Monster dealt with the soap harshly, leaving creamy yogurt to prop up my stubble, only to be guillotined by Der Vorschlaghammer. My face is smooth and creamy comfortable and smelling great thanks to MLB aftershave. DFTBA!

I received a sample of Stirling (Sterling?) Mentha Scrub soap for Christmas. I used it this morning. Wow! Refreshing, "wake you up" scent, and slightly chilly. I will be purchasing several blocks. However . . . heed their warning about gradually trying out the soap on your more sensitive body parts. The sensation stopped just shy of a rather cruel prank we boys used to play on one another after gym class. (Or, as Danny Vermin might say, "You shouldn't play that prank on me. My classmates played that prank on me once. ONCE.")
