Stan Retires From Above The Tie:

Before I share his post, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you Stan for all that you have done for the wet shaving community. It won't be the same knowing that I could drive down the road 2 hours away and that you will not be there. You will be missed. Here is Stan's post from their website:

STAN'S RETIREMENT

Posted by Stan H on Mar 08, 2019

Hello Friends,

While some of you may already know, I wanted to take a moment and share that I have retired from Above the Tie.

In January, my son-in-law Matt accepted responsibilities concerning the business. Above the Tie is in great hands. The dedication to service and quality has never been better.

I have had a wonderful business experience, but most importantly I have enjoyed getting to know all of you. I feel like I have an extended global family. Clearly, my life has been made richer from interaction with each and every one of you. All of you have played a role in making this little family business in the foothills of Tennessee known around the world.

It is my hope the razors I have designed continue to provide pleasure and enjoyment to wet shavers each day. In fact, my hope is that many years from now, these same razors will still be providing nice results to their “new” owners. It has been a pleasure and an honor to have been a part of this community, and I hope any small impact I may have had was a positive one.

As for me I feel great and will enjoy my new found freedom. This is my second retirement—first health care and now business. Who knows, in time I may start dabbling in something new.

Regardless there will be plenty of good times traveling, reading, playing guitar and of course having the grand-kids over.  Life is good.

God bless,

Stan 

One Down in 2019:

Well as I mentioned in one of videos, scratch one of my soaps from my collection. I finished off Stirling Soaps Lemon Chill which had a lemon meringue pie scent to it and the menthol chill was fantastic especially if you had some sinus issues. I will miss this one for sure. This was my "go to" soap when I was sick or having problems with my allergies and especially after doing yard work. I don't when I will be getting this one again. Stirling Soaps has a ton a products that I want to try: 

I don't know which one I will finish off next. My record is 20 soaps in one year.
