    I just ordered a set of the Blu yesterday. The refill puck, and splash ought to be here within the week. I'm really looking forward to trying it.

    As I wrote in another thread, the Frost Drops came out in excess this morning, but my fault....I didn't squeeze the top, just took it off and squeezed.

    My Stirling order came in today. I'm really impressed with scent of the EDT, it's smells very close to Polo Blue, it's fresh and you can really smell the cucumber and melon. I'm just sprayed it on so I haven't gotten to the heart yet but so far I really like it. The scent off the puck is light but I have no doubt it will open up upon lathering. We're going to top 106 today so I'm excited about the MITA bath soaps. The freebie bar of Deep Blue Sea also smells great. This box just makes me happy.

    The Sharp Dressed Man sample hand-wash is beginning to crack. Think I'll go with the full-sized Mentha-Scrub next.....anything to avoid heat, given what sent me to the hospital. Heat in the summer, I should say. I betcha that first hand-wash with the Mentha-scrub will blow me away!! Well, GOOD. :)

    I'm bringing the Frost Drops back out for tomorrow...this time I hope do it better than yesterday. No more Niagra Falls. Looked over my Den yesterday-it's getting pretty crowded in there. One more purchases this year, two next year(the first of which will be the Stoylin Tony champion)and I do think I'll be set for a NB 2021. This coming from a man who has learned to appreciate the art of mindfulness(living in the moment), lol.

    And now an update-it's all set for use....that is a COLD soap-kinda mint fresh. Now I won't have to worry about not using any menthol each Menthol Monday-just washing my hands will suffice(chuk yuk yuk).

    Paul, I hope ( and it sounds like) you are doing well after your hospital stay. It's sure good to have you back.

    John thank you :). In fact, I have good news(and some bad news). The good news is, I can drive again. My doctor wrote a letter for me to give to my neurologist when I see him on the 31st. I'm guessing my doc looked at all the medical reports from the hospital, and said "Why are they telling him not to drive?". The bad news-and I can appreciate this news actually-is he doesn't want me to work out at the gym until the humidity goes away. The AC really isn't that strong in there as it is.

    The thing about it Paul, at least around here, is that summer doesn't last that long and its about ½ over. Glad to hear that that most things are going well.

    Opened up a new sample bar of Glacial Spearmint to use in the shower. Wow!! Glacial bar soap in the summer is awesome! Was careful not to get too nuts with it.

    That's right John...these days, even in early/mid August kids begin thinking about school/college again. September can have some days of humidity here, but it isn't the same as what we get in July and August. Now I can get back to Stoylin goofiness :).

    I used my Glacial MITA bar soap last night and was very cautious in that area. I learned more than I care to know on this topic from @Drygulch :)

    My Stirling Blu is enroute as of 8:55 this morning. The other good new's is I have hot water again in my apartment. The upper element went out causing the thermostat breaker to cut off power to the water heater. It got old reactivating the breaker every morning. Should have nice warm water for my shave this afternoon.
