    Bout to get 3 wks in on a bar of Island Man and still have plenty left. Wish the scent was stronger but I like it. So far Tuscany is my top one, still got more bars to test though!

    I couldn't agree more about liking a wide range of scents. There are so many scents that just a few months ago I would never believe I would truly enjoy and I love them. Tuscany is what started the change in range of preferences. At first I thought it was too floral and now I have to have it in my den. It is nicely complex and wonderful. From there I have enjoyed T&H 1805 and several B&M scents that are complex and sometimes herbal and spicy. All are delicious

    It has caused a few issues for me. Firstly, I like to use seasonal soaps...which means I need to have quite a few.
    Second, it has caused my interest to pique in so many scents that I now really have too many. I need to really reconcile my SAD and have a den clearance. Easier said than done...

    I'm also a fan of a variety of scents when it comes to soaps. I have my favorites but whenever I introduce a 'new' soap— whether bath or shave— I get 'buy in' from my wife before it goes into the rotation. I may like a particular scent but if she's not a fan, it doesn't make the cut. After all, she's the one who has to endure the scent on me. :D

    I have a sample of the Electric Sheep bath soap. I used it before when I took my shower and it felt great. I definitely want to buy a couple more as well as the other Glacial scents. My wife asked me if I used Williams soap for the shower and when I told her it was Electric Sheep she was shocked. Honestly, I don't see any similarity in the scents but do see a big difference in the skincare.

    I also would like to get these other scents:

    Sharp Dressed Man
    Barbershop
    Bay Rum

    I have a sample of the Electric Sheep but haven't tried it yet. These are the ones I've tried full bars of that I like in order:

    Stirling Noir- still using.
    Tuscany
    Island Man
    Lemon Chill

    Love them all! I have Piacenza, Arcadia, and Gatlinburg in my Den waiting to be tried. They all smell great!

    I had 2 full Barbershops, and more recently a sample Naked&Smooth. I used the second B-shop and the N&S as simple hand-soaps.

    I'm in love with the Glacial Spearmint. Every time I shower the bathroom smells for an hour after I get out. The menthol effect from this soap is almost as strong as with the shave soap version!

    I just used the Stirling Sandalwood this morning. I have to say it is not your 'traditional' perfume Sandalwood scent. I really like it. We now have 2 soap dishes in our shower. My wife's Stirling Bergamot & Lavender Body Soap and my Stirling Sandalwood Body Soap.

    Yea they sent me a sample of Island Man bath soap, I agree that the scent could be a bit stronger, but it is a nice scent but a bit light.

    Just finished up a bar of Stirling Noir and broke open my sample of Electric Sheep last night......this soap exploded into lather! I love it! It's almost ridiculous how good these soaps and their scents are! Just writing this makes me wanna go shower, lol.

    It's with a great deal of regret that I have to say that the North Padre bath soap sample may not be around for much longer. At first it seemed to have a fairly decent scent but when I used it yesterday during my shower it started to gross me out altogether. My wife asked me "What's that garbage cologne you're wearing?" when I joined her in the living room and snuggled up to her on the couch. When I told her it was that bath soap she told me I should throw it away. I can't describe the scent except to say that it's extremely strong, unpleasant, and too lingering. I'll use it perhaps once more before I make my final decision, but it definitely offended my wife. (even our dog didn't want to give me a kiss, and that made me feel like crying!)

    I'll have to check the reviews for it, but you give a good one(albeit sad)here.

    I'll take your word for it! I remember reading the scent description of it and thinking it wasn't for me so I haven't tried it. I've been on a bath soap binge here lately. I still have 4 bars of different Stirling soaps to go through. They all smell great! Got 2 bars of Yardley, Zum bar Cedar, and a bar or Herban Cowboy Dusk. The Zum and Herban, along with Stirling Gatlinburg seem like fall and winter scents to me. Looking forward to cooler weather!

    Tuscany is in my top 3 of the Stirling bath soaps I've tried. Let me recommend Noir to you, it replaced Tuscany at the top of my list. Smells awesome! I have Piacenza on deck after I finish my sample of Electric Sheep! Just finished a wonderful shave with a Tuscany shave sample! :happy088:
