The Stirling Exchange

Check the Stirling website around the middle of April.

 

Here is their website. All the soaps currently available are there. Plus lots of other info there including videos on how to lather et cetera. https://www.stirlingsoap.com/shave-soap/

 

After a long tour of trying many many soaps I have chosen to keep 3 brands/artisans in my den. Stirling is one of them. I currently have Executive Man, Electric Sheep, and just ordered Sharp Dressed Man. Got a few other scents in sample tins to mess around with. I do have a fear of having too many full size tubs so I'll try to limit myself to just these 3 scents....although when summer heat comes I may have to get a glacial soap.

 

That's my issue, too...I currently have 3 soaps(one Stirling), and I will need to move them to the "chambers" of my den when the warmth comes. But I like the looks of the Glacials-probably would go for the Lemon Chill.

 

Last night I read the AMA he did on Reddit, and he has a couple more mutton soaps he is going to do this year. Glastonbury is one, which is huge for me because I love that scent, and I forget the other.

For anybody that didn't see it, it is a good read, and really tells the story of those two and a lot about the business.

Which one did you finish up? Sounds like you might have to break that no buy.

 

I just made a small order from Stirling today:

1 Stirling Gentleman soap and aftershave set
1 MITA aftershave
1 Ozark Mountain aftershave
1 Sharp Dressed Man aftershave
1 Texas on Fire soap sample, aftershave sample
1 Mountain Man soap sample, aftershave sample
1 Gatlinburg soap sample, aftershave sample
1 Orange Chill aftershave sample

Can't wait

 

That's a nice order.

I love Gentleman. It has become my favorite of his "cologne type" scents. It really helps that my wife loves it too. She also loves Glastonbury which is making a comeback in sheep fat. I need to stock up on the Aftershave if nothing else.

 

My wife and I went on a scent search last June while I was in my no-buy year for shaving gear. Rod's hit every scent that we enjoyed except for Invictus, which to my nose smells a little like YSL L'Homme, which he has covered.

I keep trying other soaps, but my top 5 or 6 scents are all Stirling, and there's only a couple of soaps that can compete with their performance in my opinion.

 

I have a sample of Gentleman and love it. I screwed up and forgot to add an Electric Sheep soap. I'll have to add it next order. The aftershaves are to matchup with soaps I already own. I also enabled a co-worker he ordered 4 soap samples with matching AS samples and a brush

 

Oh, I haven't yet finished up anything. I think I can still make it to May, . (might have finished one by then, but it won't be the Stirling).

 

Oh. I thought you had four running.

 

That I do, Jared....Stirling Barbershop, TSD Russian Leather, WSP Sandalwood, and Rte 66 Cavendish. Actually, the one I expect to finish first is the Russian Leather, but I'm in the wrong thread for that .

 

I have and it is excellent. I believe Stirling is adding some additional scents to the mutton tallow line up this spring, too. Electric Sheep will be hard to top, though.

 

Paul, the Glacial Lemon Chill is like all the other Glacials - Brrrrrrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful!

 

Any idea when the Glastonbury is arriving?

Do you like menthol Paul? I guess what I mean is if you think something like Aqua Velva Ice Blue is cold, you might want to buy some samples before you get a tub.

 

Sometime in spring, but I either don't remember exactly or he didn't say.

 

Late last year I read where he said March. I was really hoping.

This is a great idea, the glacials are on a whole other level of cold. MITA is cold but not close to the glacials
