I don't know why, but I like Dunshire even better than Acqua di Gio. I've worn Acqua for over 2 decades and love it, but there's just something special about Dunshire that keeps you coming back for more. Great all year round even with the bright citrus notes.
yes sir ,decades old acqua fan here.. didn't think there was a shave soap around that was similar.. just heard about this ..
Remind me to acknowledge you on 1-1-20 at the Stoylin 2020 Tony Awards Winner&Runner-up announcement, for having the biggest order I've ever seen to date.
Thanks Paul. I haven't had the pleasure of trying Gentleman or Hipster. With everyone's comments I just had to try them out.
Well, I was goofy-looking that year as I tossed my graduation cap(from college) into the air, looking just like him, with sunglasses. But as the cap returned to earth, I returned to mature manhood .
I liked Gentleman a lot, and I'm putting Hipster on hold due to a potential health concern(as it contains grapefruit among its other ingredients).
I should add though(and @john zeiger knows this)that Gentleman came in second to Sandpiper during my first sample set.
For you Paul doesn't everything fall short of Sandpiper? Not that I blame you one bit. Stirling..."Something for everyone. "
At this writing, perhaps it does . I do love it. I have my eye on some others as well, but we'll see if they get chosen as Tony nominees . Already I'm thinking this year's Tonys will be tougher than last year.
Perhaps you could come up with a category for each quarter like “best new soap”, “best cologne profile”, “most novel scent” etc and then have the “best overall” be your final quarterly pick. Just an idea.

I appreciate your idea and help, Randy....I'm sure there will be some time this year to ponder changes, if any, for the 2021 Stoylin Tonys.
Beautiful Timeless @jluc! How does that .95 feel? I have a plaid handle and have been debating on which plate to get. I was leaning toward the .68 for a milder shave for my skin but was wondering if it would be too mild?
Thank you! I made this purchase early on in my wet shaving journey. I too was debating which baseplate to get. I haven't tried the .68 so I can't offer a comparison but the .95 is a wonderful razor that I have no issues using daily. Timeless does have the 30 day return policy. I look forward to seeing your new razor! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
