    Oh, I forgot to say Rod said he would let us know here when the Glacial Lemony Orange is made.

    Coming this weekend.... Another Max Headroom - Stirling Fanboy Report, stay tuned.

    The Wintergreen soap loaded real well onto my brush...Today and tomorrow are definite Wintergreen days-with the high temps. Could be worse-the humidity is low. But it won't be so low in July and August.

    For tomorrow I'd like to use the Glacial Lemon Chill trio - it's been a while!

    Hello Stirling users :)

    Today I used my first Stirling soap. I was looking for a product similar to B&M in performance to replace Taiga, and I also wanted something cooling for the Summer--perhaps a notch above Proraso. So, of course, I ordered a lot of samples beyond what I was actually looking for.

    Today I tried the Stirling Barbershop. I really like the scent. Warm and smooth somehow, with talc, and reminds my of chocolate. It's like a warm mug of cinnamon spiced coco. The soap was much softer than I expected, but loaded, lathered, and performed wonderfully. Post-shave is hard to tell since I finish with Midnight & Two balm.

    Overall, a great performer, and a soap that could easily replace B&M in my den. My last attempt at a B&M equivalent was Henri et Victoria, but my skin had a funny reaction for some reason, so hopefully it is ok with Stirling.

    In a perfect world, this will be my new go-to supplier of soaps? Why perfect? Well because they have a fantastic selection of matching balms and splashes. It drives me a bit crazy to find that perfect soap scent and realize there is no matching balm. So, next steps...order some balm samples.

    If it gets a bit warmer this weekend, I will try the orange chill sample.

    I love the Barbershop soap. I won't use it in the hot&humid months, but it's great any other time.

    A fanboy is an excessive fan.

    Ordered a replacement for my ES and also picked up Orange and Lemon chill shoaps.

    It was my first use of Orange Chill today. I enjoyed it. Started with a nice orange scent, then the menthol.

    Honestly, I am afraid of the Glacial Lemon Chill after using this one, but will give it a shot tomorrow.

    That makes good sense, Mr. Cawtuh :). I'd call myself a Stoylin fanboy too!

    I'm looking for a summer cooler. The Glacial sounds like it might be too much for me. Any suggestions?

    Something from Stoylin? Two suggestions-and I've only tried one of em. Mountain Man, and Coniferous. Now that I think of it, either one with added menthol might do the job. I had Mtn. Man as a sampler(A.S), but I keep wondering about that Coniferous(as in "should I or shouldn't I?).

    You’re only looking for #2&3, so I’d suggest saving Coniferous for a later date. I really like the scent but it’s bold enough that I’m not always in the mood for it. It’s perfect when the mood strikes however. Ozark Mountain is also very strong/bold but it’s much more complex, and could be my only soap if I fell on hard times. If you’re trying to limit your soaps to four, I’d look at the couple dozen other choices. JMO.
