    I seriously should only buy Stirling from here on out.

    I'm almost to that point. I commented in the 30 Day thread that I was seriously considering trimming down to Stirling and Soap Commander for soaps. Well, and The Fat of course, but just sticking with those other two companies because their products are SO good. Plus, both Stirling and Soap Commander are owned by veterans, have tremendous customer service, and are great ambassadors for wet shaving. Can't go wrong.

    Oh ok.....I'll have to put in a few hearts muhself. :). Actually, I shouldn't since I'm judging the Tonys again-don't want to be biased.

    Since you too mentioned another company besides Stoylin here in the Stoylin Exchange, I'll jump in by saying that I highly value excellent customer service, and believe that should be rewarded by $$$. I really appreciated that e-mail I got from the owner at Central Texas Soaps, explaining why he took out the bentonite clay. I have a couple more in mind from them, and of course we know Doc Ezlovan has been and IS a great "customer servant", thus he'll be hearing from me again(and not just once each year to order my Tony Award champion).

    I hear you Perry! The only thing I don't like about Soap Commander is the tall, narrower, containers that their regular edition soaps come it. I wish they would go with the 4" parkway containers like Stirling and others are using or the 4" Colt containers like B&M seasonal releases come in. I love the value and service both companies Provide.

    That's an impressive list. I'd have to wait a couple years to develop a top 5.

    Yeah, I hear ya. The Soap Commander containers are a little hard to load from, but first world problems!

    :signs011: Deep Blue Sea smells amazing. Totally worth taking the leap. I can't believe that I missed you selling Kaboom! I'm jealous. Lol Has anyone used Hipster? Rod and Mandy are probably going to get me again.

    Stirling One is available as a bath soap for those of you wanting to check out the scent. Very nice cologne aroma that is not overpowering and has some great "spice " type of notes. Great masculine soap.

    The insertion of Hipster has forced the 2020 Tony Awards Board of Selectmen into a closed door meeting-or "Xecutive Session". This meeting won't affect the date for Nomination #1-still set for Feb. 11.

    I also couldn't pass up the British Leather on sale.

    Since Doc Ezlovan and his team thought of the fancy name for the English Leather clone(British Leather), here's an idea for him in the future "Stoylin 'Kenny Cole'(for a Kenneth Cole dupe). .

    It certainly looks good on paper :). I recall sniffing Chanel Bleu in a magazine....liked it.

    Turns out I may as well have done your shave today-it was supposed to be warm...it ain't. (I didn't use a Stoylin, but I just wanted to say I know that cold feeling today!!).

    Uh, Ladies and Gentlemen: Due to "other conflicts" I will make my first nomination for the 2020 Stoylin Tony Awards on Feb 11, as planned, but in the morning. I have some dogs to watch in the evening(Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, first night of finals-3 hours, will need some good coffee). Course the nomination announcement will be preceded by the Grand Opening Ceremony(nuthin much, just me making a speech).
