    Since Rod made this one as a favor specifically to the guys on this thread, I realistically only see one chance of it happening:

    It sells out super fast, and a bunch of SOTD’s featuring it show up across various boards, and a clamoring ensues next spring to put it out as a seasonal offering.

    I personally think it is the best citrus scent they’ve ever offered. It used to be a non menthol offering before the Glacials really took off. I hoarded a puck of it for years. How can orange PLUS lemon, not be better than orange OR lemon?

    Awesome shave from some excellent gear this morning!
    Stirling Orange Chill witch hazel, not pictured, will become a mainstay in my den.

    Since I'm in straight razor training, my soap and lather have taken on a greater importance.

    Bit the bullet today and pulled out Electric Sheep cause I wanted sheep tallow stuff. I had almost forgotten how superior it is than the already almost unbeatable beef tallow soaps. Holy cow Batman, this is sheep shearing incredible at how much "easy, cloud puffy, really soggy wet, and slippery" lather shows up.

    Great shave, but I still hate citronella though. So I whipped out the Glacial Lemony Orange AS and applied an overlaquering amount. Great cool, great smell, but alas the skeeters are still running.

    I think some of the unscented or other sheep tallow soaps will be on my next order. (port au prince not included).

    Another top notch shave with Iced Pineapple and Lemon Chill splash. Love these scents.

    Another delightful killer-cold BBS shave with the Glacial Wintergreen trio and topped off with the Arctique. For a 35c day you can't find a better setup!

    How about "Off Insect Repellant Aftershave"? :)

    That Arctique is Barrister&Mann, right Jeff?

    It does pair nice with electric sheep.
    I'm gonna use it again today.
    The lather is incredible.
    Maybe an Aqua Velva Overcoat afterwards.

    I've been looking at those "Sheep" soaps(from Stoylin)......there might...MIGHT..be one included in choices 3 and/or 4 of the Stoylin Tony Award nominations.

    On second thought maybe I'll use the Port au prince with the Aqua Velva Overcoat. Love the lather, hate the lasting vetiver.

    I had a vetiver A.S. once. I do admit I got a little tired of it. (It was from the former L&L Grooming).

    Used lemony orange tonight. Fantastic cold shave. I'm loving the glacial soaps.

    I do prefer the lemon chill scent though. But both are great.
