    @BradleyD I agree. I firmly believe that artisans, particularly Stirling soaps and mama bear soaps have the absolute best value to be had out there. When you consider quality, availability, selection, slickness, and price...I believe they are unbeatable.

    @ezlovan Do you think there is a problem with artisan shaving soap at high temperatures getting rancid? We often have 100F here and I'm afraid my soaps will go bad. Should I put them in the fridge or freezer maybe? I'm talking about artisan shaving soap in general not a specific brand or manufacturer.

    @KLF I realize you didn't ask me, but I live in Texas, where it will litetally be 100+ degrees for 1/3rd of the year. I have never had a problem with soaps, even when accidentally left in the car. Having said said that, I wouldn't recommend leaving it outside just to test it out.

    Its ok, everyone can answer
    I was just curious about tallow based soaps, I will hate to discover that my soaps will go bad in heat. I read a thread about Cella soaps some time ago and I wanted to make sure.

    Don't worry Lior. Nothing will happen to any of these Stirling soaps! :)

    Well they go through the usps/UPS/FedEx and the temps on those trucks in the back get pretty high I'm sure. I think it would be okay.

    Just be careful with glycerin soaps. I once ordered some Musgo Real during the summer with 100 degree temps. When I opened the box the airtight wrapper looked like a water balloon. I put it in the fridge and it firmed back up, but if that wrapper had split it would have soaked everything.

    I wouldn't leave them out in the heat and sun, but if you're referring to them being in the heat during shipment, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Rod, I leave my soaps, creams, aftershaves, etc in just about every place in the house, except the kitchen because I have so many. The soaps and balms, and witch hazels I have from you get the most care, however! ;)

    wow, you really ran the gamut on the aftershave features, even if just for samples.

    Another enabling thread.... I'm currently on vacation, and see by my tracking email, I have two balms (sandalwood & Noir) and a Clubman scented puck of soap sitting in my mailbox. I've yet to meet a Stirling product I didn't love:)

    While admiring your set up, I noticed the red tip.... I dragged mine along while on vacation this week. Nice to get reacquainted again. An old Gillette and a puck of Stirling do make a fine couple:)

    I wasn't expecting them to be an amount like this! Very surprised but happy! Sterling gentleman, gatlinburg, sharp dressed man and mountain man are my favorite smells so far.

    If you like face lathering, rub the puck on your face. You'll get insane lather, that way. :D

    I'm finding even a badger brush seems to explode soap lathers. I thought most people were partial to using boars with soaps.

    I haven't touched my synthetics in ages. I found i just prefer the natural feel of badger and boar and i like my lather better from them too. :)
