With the exception of my Gillette razor, this was an all-Stoylin shave this morning. (Good Friday): prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Cedar Leaf)in shower shave-Stoylin Ramblin Man soap brush-Stoylin mid-sized "No Name" synthetic razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DIsposeABLE A.S.-Stoylin Ramblin Man. Very well-done all around. Axrross the jawline, I did the "Ice-chippping" motion(course shave-wise you're talkin whiskers, not ice). Somehow I never get any cuts doing it that way. The only shocker was in applying the after shave to Cactus(neck). Boy, did I get a tingle!! Made me think of Jack Palance talkinabout his "tingle" while using Skin-Bracer(his classic TV ad). Back to my shave-2 passes, zero across the board on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. As Outstanding As It Gets.

The Prep balm is so soothing as well as moisturizing, and the Osage Rub-aka the Rubby Dubby Doo is another menthol atom bomb.

The Stoffel balm has a very nice peppermint scent, just a small amount is enough to coat your face with lots of moisturizing, and soothing, and is it ever freezing cold. I finished off with the beautifully scented Glacial Citron aftershave and it also gave me two boatloads of menthol goodness.
