    Nope. It is my own creation. I made that scent from scratch over almost two years of experimenting.

    Let me say this. Ya better quit your videos, because any future ones won't get any better than the Varen one. (You didn't see this!!!). Nice job. :)

    Just noticed while reading a Stoylin Shave soap review(from the Stoylin website)that Central Texas Soaps was referred to(by the reviewer)as a "Stoylin ripoff, LOL". Made me think of a post I read in here that CTS might be giving Stoylin a "run for its money"(the TSD member's quotes). But I didn't latch on to what the reviewer meant by it(CTS) being a "Stoylin ripoff". Interestingly, I'll be shaving with both this week so I'll see if I can make a comparison. Stoylin's great-don't get me wrong. I like Central Texas Soaps too, but I need to see what the reviewer was talkinabout.

    I've never tried CTS soaps and really don't have a need to. Stirling has earned my repeat business by producing excellent products. Once the deodorants come back on online it will be one stop shopping. It will still be interesting reading your review on how both soaps compare to one another.

    I may also have to add Satsuma samples to my next order.

    B8ADB512-3CC8-406B-9DAE-D19AA68CAEBB.jpeg Menthol Monday:

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Wilkinson TTO/Rapira day 2
    Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
    Prep ASB
    Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
    Eau Sauvage EdT

    An amazing BBS shave, albeit a bit hurried because I’m invited to play golf today with a couple of friends of mine who live down here - this caught me by surprise because I didn’t think of bringing my clubs with me. The Frozen Tundra is a VERY cold soap - in fact it’s Stirling’s second strongest mentholated one after the Glacials. It has such a beautiful scent which reminds me of the Glacial Wintergreen, it lathers so rich as well as slick, and the menthol sensation hits hard, especially during the second pass. The Prep and the Alcolado Glacial were a perfect finish. Guys, wish me luck with these games!

    Well, the man doing the review "staaaaated" it(Boston dialect, but I don't have one thus I just make fun of it lol).
