The Stirling Exchange

Yeah they do have a crackle, don't they?

 

yes...wonder what crackling pipe tobacco would be like.

 

I think I finally got Stirling lather to work for me with my hard NYC water - base layer of watery lather followed by a heavy loaded semogue 610 - this seems to be the right formula to get the slickness and cushion. Enjoying my Stirling Gentleman, Tuscany, Vanilla Sandalwood, SDM, etc.

Any thoughts on the lathering process for Stirling I'd appreciate your views!

Thx! B.

I recommend putting the settings on the Stirling soap page to "best-selling first." I pretty much agree with all their top sellers: executive man, sharp dressed man, mountain man, Ben Franklin, Piacenza, Margaritas in the arctic, and gin and tonic. You can't go wrong with these.

 

Yes, I wouldike them to release a tobacco scent.

 

Stirling you mean? They come close with Stirling Gentleman.

 

Gentlemen is a sweet vanilla and tobacco, I thought you were talking about a big crackling tobacco scent like Connecticut shade by Catie's bubbles.

 

To me the tobacco is kinda light. I love it, but It could have a bit more IMO.

 

Thank you all for the warm welcome and suggestions.

I've at least settled on Executive Man, Stirling Gentleman, Lavender, and I think Electric Sheep.

I may just add one more to the mix, still debating the final choice.

Those who have experienced both Executive Man and Gentleman......are they similar scents or distinctly different?

 

I'll be shaving with the Electric Sheep tomorrow. Love!

 

ohhh ok. Hey, that;s one state south of me. But as for the tobacco in Stirling Gentleman, yes, I'd say there isn't much in it, but it's nice being mixed in with the other ingredients.

 

I would say they are somewhat similar, but both very good. I prefer executive man. Executive man is based upon creed aventus and sharp dressed man is based upon creed Irish tweed. Go check the scent profiles out on Stirling's website to exact how similar they are for you. You can always get samples too..which are very generous and cheap.

 

I believe I can qualify for "experiencing" Executive Man and Stirling Gentleman-not on my skin(yet), but just giving the samples a few sniffs. I'm going to say there's a difference. Perhaps it can be said they both have their own level of attractiveness, but to me there's a bit more manliness to Stirling Gentleman. I'm talkinabout the aftershaves here, by the way.

 

In terms of the soaps, they're quite different in scent- gentleman is stronger. Executive is more of a lighter scent - more similar to SDM.

Executive man is a lighter scent, maybe crisper, Gentleman has a definite vanilla note. Not in a strong way necessarily, but it is present.

 

Not at the moment. We're just too backed up and I'm completely out of space for new scents. I'm not even sure where I'm going to put the Baker Street and Vanilla Bean Espresso once they come down off the curing rack.

 

Nope, not at all. If something is on the website, it is in stock. If something is a slow seller, we discontinue it once it sells out.

 

Thanks for clearing that for me, Rod. Your setup there is quite impressive. Nice dogs, too .

 

Perfectly understandable. I posted the question before I watched the video of your operations.

 

Got the order in:

Executive Man
Stirling Gentleman
Lavender
Electric Sheep
and Ozark Mountain

really contemplated Sandpiper and Piacenza...............next time I suppose.

Thank you for all of the help; really looking forward to becoming a Stirling fan!
