    I had high hopes for Ramblin Man, but that was a no go for me.

    It is with disgust that I announce that part of the cap of the Glacial Sharp Dressed Man A.S.broke off. Just from the side, but still. My cleaning lady might have done it, as I have my bottle on top of the toilet, as well as other items too. She didn't say anything. I'm trying to figure out how I might have done it. I used the SDM this morning, and the break doesn;t appear to affect the A.S. strength. I'll have to be careful-I hope more of it doesn't gradually break.

    I think that's a lock for me for next summer. (Minus the balm, + the aftershave).

    Well, I'll look forward to working with it. I guess I did have a couple shaves with it before it got hot here, but there will be much more action during the loooong winters(and late autumns before that). Meantime, I hope to achieve more "suds" with the SDM cake. Guess you need to press in to that type of soap more than that in a puck. Course I could be wrong.

    Uh, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

    We're progressing right along with the 2020 Stoylin Tony Awards. 3 nomination days in, 2 to go. With these new surprises from Doc Ezlovan(the bodywashes&the return of Haverford), this second year continues to be a real challenge for the staff(i.e. ME). We're just approaching the halfway mark between the 3rd and 4th day. I predict an exiciting finish!

    I think that's going to be my first bodywash, as I have a barbershop shave soap and a good amount of Clubman Original A.S.

    OK guys.....

    We need some reviews on those new liquid soaps!

    There are impatient inquiring minds with demands to be met!

    Nice acquisitions!

    What is the scent of Stirling Sheep shave soap? I tried Scots Pine Sheep and really enjoyed the mutton base but didn't care for the scent.

    There is no added fragrance, a slight animal fat smell is able to be detected, a little more so than beef tallow. Nothing that I find lingering.

    If the scented sheep tallow shave soaps Scots Pine is my fave. I can use Electric Sheep even though I'm not a citronella fan.

    Monday's weather is supposed to be "less humid". I love "less humid". Might celebrate with Sandpiper(as a test for this kind of weather in the summer). Or Blood on Steel, since it was such a hit at the Meetup(during the summer).

    I have Scots Pine for a sample A.S. Might be time soon to open that one for another test for a "less humid" summer day(see #8823).
