    Supa sweet! My delivery this afternoon has my living room smelling amazing. So grateful to be able to give these great products to family and friends. Plus I got Agar as a sample and it smells wonderful. I've had my eyes on it for a while.

    Does anyone else look forward to seeing what you get for the sample? Sometimes that's the most exciting part for me! In this case it is definitely going to get me to buy a new product in future. Lol

    Yes, I always look forward to the samples. Unfortunately I didn't get one in my last order from Black Friday. But that's okay. I've been steered toward and away from scents from the samples. Electric Sheep is one example. I decided that was NOT a scent for me.

    My order shipped today! I’m leaving town for five days, so I should be getting home just ahead of my order. :)

    Soap: Stirling Haverford
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Haverford aftershave

    Superb lather and wonderful scent this morning. Haverford is a unique soap in that the lather is not white but rather looks like melted chocolate ice cream or hot chocolate. But it's slick and comforting as are all Stirling lathers. Nice shave this morning and I'm smelling wonderful. Great scent. Enjoy your day!

    Are you in USA? If so, I'm not an authority in this, but I thought that FLMA protected you from this type of thing.

    Good luck.

    Thank you gentlemen! I live in South Jersey. Unfortunately, for employers with less than 50 personnel they can get away with it here. There's a silver lining though, my amazing wife doesn't work for those abusive people anymore. I was an E-7 in the military and didn't yell at people half as much as those owners. That's just not how you motivate people to be truly great. Thankfully Stirling makes tremendous products at great prices that everyone just loves!

    In modern times, your general attitude is quite refreshing! Keep looking up!

    Thank you Brother! I have an incredible wife with two degrees that gave up a nursing career to take care of me and my disabilities. I honestly don't deserve her. Everyone should be as blessed. Merry Christmas all! (And any other holiday you may observe)

    Have you been calling or emailing? I'm a bit spotty answering the phone right now. If I'm actively making soap, i just let it go to voicemail so I don't risk ruining a batch of soap by trying to do two things at once.

    Ahh, I was teasing, Rod :). I figured the Tonys should be announced from a large arena.

    Ah, gotcha. I was hoping you were going to be making a trip down to visit!

    That would be some visit, that's for sure! I've become fascinated with just imagining all the work you do to make your soaps, aftershaves, etc.

    I take it it is a Stoylin, right Paul? I just used my new Stoylin butterscotch handled badger this morning. It has really bloomed nicely through the conditioning process . It also really lathered up my soap nicely for me this morning. I'm thrilled with it. What a deal for about $20.00.

    That it is I just didn't add the company as we're in the Exchange anyway. The one you have looks nice.
