My order of two Lime sample pucks, and a bottle of the Lime Mentholated Aftershave Splash ought to be delivered today. I'm going to cut the pucks in half and go 50/50 with my Lemon Chill sample pucks. Lemon/Lime is a favorite shaving scent for me, and is what my dad started me out with when he tought me how to shave with his 1955 Gillette Flare Tip back in the late seventies.

My Aftershave Sample Set just arrived! I just took quick sniffs of each aftershave. I'm hoping to eventually get a good match for my The Soap Exchange soap(Lumberjack). For that one, I would expect Agar to be the winner. As we know, Agar is Nomination #1 in the 2020 Stoylin Tonys. But I think I-The Mad Scientist Of Wet Shaving(or whatever I called myself as I was getting into the wet shaving "groove")will experiment with Scots Pine for the Lumberjack, too. I badly need an aftershave to go along with that. I was always a fan of Drakkar Noir, and felt it was time to try the Stoylin version. Pretty close to what I recall. Deep Blue Sea is a great one, too. I don't have a matching soap for those 2, thus I'll just have to try them with Barbasol. I look forward to getting started with these, even if the results force me to make a slight rule change for the Tonys. But in the world of wet-shaving, mind-changing is something that happens a lot, isn't it? We shall see. Oh, I forgot...Doc Ezlovan tossed in a sample soap bar-Island Man. I like that one!!
With the announced hiatus of Glastonbury and Port au Prince, I am curious to know if they will be replaced with new mutton tallow varieties. Love all my Stirling soaps, and I have a bunch of them, but that mutton tallow lather is really special for me.
On deck for this mornings shave after I have some more caffeine infusion. I haven't used my Red Tip in over a year, hopefully I will still know how to use it without blood loss. I think I'll load it with a Spoiler. The brush is my JR-338 with a Maggard's 70/30 Badger/Boar Knot set in it. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
I'd like a Kenneth Cole dupe. Another fragrance I sniffed for free(inside a Men's Health Magazine). Liked it very much. He has a new one out-MANKIND.
Way to go Primo. I did the same with the Lime Shave Soap, and aftershave last Sunday. Didn't need it but glad I got it. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
I think Glastonbury is now a favorite of mine. I ordered the sample size. I might have to get the full size cake. Maybe even the aftershave. The scent mixes well with a cigar too.
