In praise of Stirling Soaps...

If all goes well, I'll be receiving my first ever Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soaps. Then I'll know more or less how Sharp Dressed Man smells. From what I understand this is Sharp Dressed Man's exact scent but with a boatload of menthol!

 

well, on that description I am quite eager to get confirmation of that!!

 

It's the best!!!!!!! A frozen Sharp Dressed Man!!!

 

I just wish the SDM had a stronger scent that lasted. Stirling Barbershop I can smell the next morning if I shave before bedtime. SDM is fantastic and I'd love to be able to smell it more!

 

Here's my review of the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap which I recently bought!

I had been told so many times about the world-renowned Sharp Dressed Man soap, and the Green Irish Tweed fragrance. I must say that if this is what Sharp Dressed Man and GIT smell like they are both beautiful. The Eskimo Tuxedo soap, well, here - let me start this way!

Ease of lathering: 10/10--A lather explosion within 25 seconds or less!

Longevity of lather: 10/10--Perfect. This lather is so rich, slick, and long-lasting!

General skincare: 10/10--Brilliant. Like all these Glacial soaps this one can freeze a man to Kingdom Come!

Scent: 9/10--Beautiful. Very sporty, yet elegant. The wife ain't too nuts about it, but I LOVE it!

Price: 10/10--13,25$ USD is not a budget-killer at all. Very reasonable, yes?

Would I buy again: 10/10--Do birds fly? Do fish swim? You're DAMNED I would!

A special thanks to my dear friend Rod for creating such precious treasures such as this one. I also will echo my other dear friend Ray's comment that if you love Sharp Dressed Man as well as ULTRA-POWERFUL menthol this soap is your ticket. A strong tolerance to menthol is required because this is not a cooling effect - this is a menthol atom bomb!

 

I shave with Gatlinburg the other day and finished off with the matching after shave splash and I have to say it was second only to the shaves I get with Santa Maria Novella V3. I have MDC, Nuavia Blu & Rossa, iColoniali, Caties, Mystic Water, etc, etc and the Stirling stood right up there. Gatlinburg is quite a stout scent but man what a great product.

 

have iced pineapple on the way...starting to get into menthol soaps after MITA

 

how many shaves can be done on a "mini-puck? (of Stirling)

 

@crackstar you would be proud. I just ordered my first menthol stirling soap. Im not a menthol fan but i couldnt resist adding one to my collection.

Ordered orange chill!!!!
Also ordered menthol pre shave soap, 3 executive man bath soaps and gin and tonic shaving soap.

 

I just boxed that up 5 minutes ago. Thanks for the order. Really hope you like it! Hopefully it will be in North Carolina by Friday.

 

no more kongs BTW? anything else coming?

 

Yeah, I've got more Kongs on the way. I just held off on an order as another company introduced the same brush with a different handle color, so I had to save up the money to place an larger order so we could put them on the site at a lower and more competitive price. We've also got a lower lofted 26 mm brush with a smaller handle, and a new 24 mm synth as well. Oh, almost forgot, we have a 26mm 2-band finest with an ivory colored resin handle on the way too. I've been using it for about 4 months now, and it's made me rethink the obsession I had with synths the past year. Still love my Kong, but I'm back to loving variety.

 

Now thats service!

I hope so too!!! Cant wait to try all of it.

 

good to hear, the kong is the brush that rocked my world (or shaving brush world)....was looking to get another one when I did my order on sunday but only saw the smaller one.

 

Hilwa! Ya hilwa, hilwa, ya dunia al hilwa!!!!

Fehimti, ya akhi?

I must buy a Kong one of these days - they are beautiful!

 

At least ten. Perhaps you can stretch it to twelve.

 

I must not use the usual amount of soap when shaving. I think I'll get around 20 shaves from the mini I'm working on. May be another case where YMMV.

 

very good, Jeff....thanks .

 

actually I have the disadvantage of no brush, so I'll have to do it like I do with the Clubman hair gel..manually.

 

Mr. Vice-President, you mention body-soaps. Can they be used just like bodywashes(that you squeeze from a tube, like my Dial 4 Men? I have the "sponge" ready.
