    For me it'll be the beautiful Glacial Lemon Chill soap, followed by the Glacial Unscented balm and Lemon Chill witch hazel.

    Just wanted to say I've been using the new boar brush, and it's fantastic! If you are even a little interested in getting a boar, buy this one. Very inexpensive, but very well made.

    The caps on the aftershave are 28/400.

    As for the witch hazel and aloe, they have no alcohol whereas the standard splashes have alcohol as the main ingredient.

    Absolutely love the Stirling Boar brush. IMO this brush is a must for anyone whether they have a boar or not. Mine is mostly broken in after almost 2 full weeks of daily use. Soft but great backbone and makes lather quick

    I am three shaves into my Stirling boar brush. The first shave saw a mass exodus of bristles. As in, it looked like I grew a full beard while lathering (I face lather). But I was fore-warned about this so I did not become alarmed. The 2nd shave I only lost two, and the third saw three jump ship. Hopefully it's done with all of that and we can get on to shaving.

    I did a break in a day prior to its first use and lost quite a few bristles. First use was two in the soap as I was loading and none of the face (face lather). Second use a a couple left home and none since that I have noticed in the soap or on my face

    Have you given it any combings? That can help a ton to speed things up.

    Nary a combing, but I did lather it thoroughly a few times today. No more runaways yet.

    My baker street aftershave came with a sample of body soap in the 'coniferous' scent. The aftershave was great, but I was really impressed with the body soap. The scent was great and the soap and lathered really well.

    Had an ok shave last night. Gin and Tonic on the Rocks performed excellent as usual, but I'm thinking the Bic's are not for me. A little rougher on shave 2 than 1. I'll have one more shave with this blade, then call it.

    Doc Ezlovan sent me a request for a review of the Glacial Wintergreen Shave Soap. I think with one more go at it, I'll be set to review it.

    I don't feel confident in giving soap reviews yet. I know if I like it or not though, hehe

    I started a brand-new Glacial Lemon Chill soap this morning and enjoyed a beautiful lemon-scented shave with a monstrous freeze. The Glacial Unscented balm is such a fantastic moisturizer with tons of menthol, and the Lemon Chill witch hazel went on icy-cold. I find this stuff pairs so well with YSL Pour Homme eau de toilette.

    I have Glacial MITA, and I absolutely love it! I'm hooked on glacials, lol! I've got a sample of Eskimo Tuxedo and that's great too! I can't get enough
