    That’s most of it. I have some packed away already for the work week on the road, and a few in sticks that I didn’t pic. I started buying from Rod in ‘14, so it has been a slow, steady accumulation.

    Probably time to edit my Stirling Shrine pic in The Stirling Exchange.

    Life is too short.

    I tried the cheap route at 1st and the shaves just aren't worth it.

    I wet shave to get a nice clean and refreshing shave with great post shave feel. Cheap stuff while it works minimizes the feel.

    If I need to save dollars I'll fill the tank with 87 regular before I buy 3rd or 4th tier shaving products.

    I have Clubman. I like the smell of Clubman. But when I'm staring at a den of Ogallala, CFG, Stirling, B&M, Chatty Lux or a vintage like Shulton Old Spice I'll pull those first every time. Nothing wrong with Pinaud but way to many better performers out there.

    When you look over the feedback and see how people like Stirling, it should leave you with no doubts. Over 90% of my soaps are Stirling. The only question you should ask is what scent. ;)

    didn't like ...

    SHARP DRESSED MAN (stung on my face)

    Stirling is pretty much can't miss. I like the soaps from the forum store as well. If you'd like to take a look, it's www.theshavedenshop.com. My mass market faves are Arko and Barbasol.
