Silly question here but was there a coincidence between Stoylin's HaverFORD and Tom FORD(I mean is that why @ezlovan called Haverford just that?)
Lol good observation Paul! Not sure but it would make sense. The likeness between Stirling Haverford and the RR Tuscan Oud A/S are nearly identical while the Tuscan Oud soap smells completely different, and is amazing scent. May have to check out a few samples of the real Tom Ford stuff to compaire.
Another RR What the Puck blue shave this morning. I think I may have gotten my best shave with it so far. Bloomed the Puck. While I took a shower. My Semougue OC SE made some really good lather. Did a 3 pass shave with no touch up's needed.
