    I had the Ezlovan aftershave, but I couldn't enjoy it much, as it was in the summer. Still have the shave soap and it's such a joy.

    I agree...it does hang around. Leads to an embarrassing but nice story. I used it before going to the gym(a Sat. AM shave), then when I was at the supermarket about 7 hours later, a woman in the check-out line suddenly upped and gave it the "sniff" test. I wasn't looking when she did it, thus it didn't catch on until a couple minutes later what happened-by which time she was gone. I think she liked it. First time that's ever happened to this author.

    A Faint baby powder smell is all I pick up after a few hours.

    Maybe I need to paint more on!

    I picked up pharaohs dreamsicle with aftershave, i had the AS added glacial menthol to it, also picked up glacia mita and AS. I have used both once, these are my first stirling soaps and i enjoy them, next time i need soap ill probably get spice and barbershop. These were also my first menthol soaps and I really like them.

    That may be all you smell. But other around you might say otherwise. You may be going nose blind after a bit.

    No shave today yet, but I after a shower I rubbed on some Glacial Unscented balm. Love it! It's great after a shave of course and I may be on to something by using it regardless of shaving or not. It's so nourishing and rubs in easily. Love the chill as well.

    Amazing how varied individual preferences are.... I am not a fan of that one.

    I think I heard that the best seller was Executive Man, and it wasn't even close.

    Today, the top 3 Max Headroom Most Glorious Stanks are:
    1) Dunshire
    2) Stirling Blu
    3) Sandpiper

    Love to see what everyone's top 3 is!

    BaylorGator you really are a Stirling Fanboy. I'm jealous as my wife would kill me if I had a stock like yours:)

    I haven't tried as many as some, but a top three no order (and of the moment - subject to change):

    Sandpiper
    Piacenza
    Iced Pineapple

    These are the scents I currently own, some in soaps, some in splashes only, and some in sets:

    Dunshire
    Sandpiper
    Piacenza
    Sharp Dressed Man
    The Lounge
    Glacial Lemon Chill
    Iced Pineapple
    Grapefruit
    Baker Street

    Some scents that I had samples for and used up:

    Ozark Mountain
    Scots Pine Sheep
    Margaritas in the Arctic

    Obviously I haven't tried a lot of Rod's offerings, but I will continue to get some as they pop up on BST or as my mood strikes me. Pretty sure Stirling is my favorite soap.

    Arkadia
    Piacenza
    SDM
    Ozark Mtn
    Sandpiper
    Christmas Eve

    Three is impossible. But these six cover a lot of country for me.

    For the combined scent/feel experience, MITA and Orange Chill should be on the list too. So I guess there’s my top eight...........with a dozen more waiting in the wings.
