Ehhh-LADIES and uh GENTLEMEN:-The votes are in for the Opener of this "seasons" Stoylin Tony Awards, and they will be made public Sunday-in tough competition with what we will learn from "Punkskatawney" the Groundhog. Just to refresh-I decided to quit using "years" and do "seasons" instead. Just think of the NHL and NBA....their "seasons" begin one year and end the next. I don't want to do that with the Tonys.....we go by the "season". We kick it off with the Winter season Sunday. Actually, don't two feetball teams do some "kick-offs" that day???? .
Tomorrow begins the first of 5 straight days of Stoylin aftershave use. (3 with one soap, then a different one back-to-back with a sophisticated goo).

Phenomenal looking set-up, Perry. That is, perhaps, the most beautiful looking injector I have ever seen.
No, it's a dupe of Ralph Lauren Supreme Oud, if I'm not mistaken. It was a limited edition offering for a meet-up of the South Florida Wet Shavers back in November. He had a few sets and they went on sale during Black Friday.
Thanks. I’ll watch for it to maybe make another appearance at some point. I read the description/reviews of the RL product and it sounds very nice.
Well, it’s been two weeks since my shoulder surgery, and after “shaving” with hair clippers every couple days I’ve had enough of that. Last surgery I grew a beard for five weeks and the shaved with clippers for another month. I hated it. So today I thought I’d see if left handed shaving is as tricky as eating and brushing my teeth. It kind of is, but SO worth it! There’s a snowstorm outside, so a warm winter scent was definitely in order. Haverford got the honors for the soap and splash. My Green Ray brush helped out, as did my Merkur 1904 open comb with a new Israeli blade. I would normally grab my open comb Fatip for removing heavy growth, but didn’t trust myself when learning wrong handed. I’ll probably shave every second or third day from here on. For now, I look great for a crippled guy, and smell fantastic!
Awesome! I call that making the best of a bad situation One way or another, here's to a quick recovery.
