    That's the menthol version of Sharp Dressed Man, right?

    I just hope Bobcat has learned about "Meeter" by this time! ( But I'll be glad to explain it if he asks me).

    I haven't tried the soap, just the aftershave sample. It's a cologne-style scent. It's a little hard for me to find a direct comparison. From the name, I expected heavy foresty scents like pine or fir, but didn't really get any of that.

    I will say that it took the top spot for my wife over Executive Man.

    I just ordered a refill puck of Gin and Tonic, and 10 Astra SP blades direct from Stirling. $3.95 flat rate shipping is nice.

    someone goofed in one of the Stirling reviews.,....made reference to a Polar Bear, but the item wasn't Meeter or any of the Glacials.

    It is based on Creed Mountain Water: A blend of bergamot, orange, green tea, black currant, Galbanum, musk, sandalwood, and petitgrain. I tried a sample puck yesterday. To me, it is a mild "cologne" scent. Personally, I won't be ordering a puck. There are too many other Stirling scents I truly like!

    ok, thanks. It's interesting how all those scent features can be blended in together. Oh wow...I just now noticed you reference to Mountan Man itself(the soap). The things I overlook in here!!!

    Well, I just picked my 1st ever shave soap. Based on liking cold shaving cream, I picked Stirling Glacial Obsidian and I sure do like it!

    I have definitely been missing by not using soaps.

    I'm getting ready to order me some more products from Rod!!!

    I'm horrible with scents, still learning them. I'll compare it to the other soaps I have tomorrow and let you know.
