This setup continues to deliver excellent shaves. My opinion of Stirling Soaps has grown. I had always put it near the top, but it's now threatening to break into my elite status. It just works, every time.

I actually feel similar. The more I use Stirling the more I think, "why didn't I use this stuff earlier?"

Love this setup. Every morning I have an opportunity to execute a near perfect shave, and the hardware/software combination delivers each and every time. Today was no exception. Have a great day, Cadre!

My first encounter with CBL's AS tonic, and with California Sunrise. I love the scent! I need the soap, but that'll have to wait until I thin the herd some. The tonic absorbs quickly and completely, leaving my skin feeling moisturized, yet dry on the surface.

My face and neck haven't felt this good in ages. The CBL AS tonic seems to have soothed it after just 3 days' use. I had a minor nick and scrape that it seems to have healed. This stuff has medicinal properties! No one tell the FDA.

  • CBL California Sunrise AS tonic
So yesterday I was thinking about this AS tonic, how much I like it, and how I dread using it all up and having no more. I hurriedly went to CBL Soaps' website and ordered another bottle of Calif Sunrise, as well as a bottle of Barba, an Italian-style fougere.

SCIENCE:
There seems to be a curious side effect of this tonic: wherever I apply it hair grows in the next day. At first I was surprised and a bit skeptical, but it's been true for each of the five days I've used it. Therefore, as of today I am going to rub it on my scalp to see if hair will grow back. Here is how I look today:

I'll report back in a few days to report on my findings.

Have a great day, Cadre!
