    Stirling summer menthol choices! Got a soap sample of Iced Pineapple, Grapefruit with menthol, and Glacial Lemon Chill. Ordered an aftershave sample to match those three scents and then also Bergamot Lavender. Everything smells great! The Grapefruit is a deep, complex scent and not just straight grapefruit.

    I am REALLY liking the scent of Arkadia. Is it some type of cologne duplication? It's really nice.

    I'm excited about all of these!!

    We just did the glacial unscented balm this year. The individual glacial scented balms just didn't sell well enough to justify bringing them back.

    Iced Pineapple today - both soap and splash. Really enjoyable. The menthol level was lower than I expected. It's definitely there but I could have taken some more. I'll be trying the Glacial Lemon Chill soon so I'll get all I can handle with it probably!

    Arkadia is a dupe of Terre d'Hermes, same scent profile as Fine L'Orange Noir and RazoRock Son of Zeus

    Thanks, Andrew! It's a really nice scent. I used the bath soap this morning. That may be on my wants list from Stirling. I could use Stirling shave products exclusively and be quite happy.

    One more day until my Stirling order arrives!!! Yippee!!!!

    Then, I will be up to my armpits in soap!!!

    I never realized Arkadia and Son of Zeus were associated with Terre d'Hermes.

    I have a sample puck of Arkadia coming if I recall. Did enjoy its scent in the pass around box. Ron and Amanda do make great products.

    It is so hard to choose, when it comes to orders from Stirling, do I buy fewer large containers or do I buy lots of samples and buy less larger containers.

    So many soaps just smell so great and the soap is awesome.

    The good thing about the samples is that they provide a good many shaves, easily a dozen or more, maybe even close to 20. I feel your dilemma and went with a few samples this past order.

    I like variety so I went with the many samples route

    My first shave with the Electric Sheep was a smashing success. That soap smells amazing and does it ever lather like a bomb It also gives the typical soothing, moisturizing post-shave which is so important. Next up will be my new Frozen Tundra! ;)

    I used Baker Street splash this morning with the original Strop Shoppe Baker Street soap. So glad Stirling was able to keep this soap and splash going. Great stuff!

    Another Electric Sheep fan! It seems like anyone who tries it is an instant fan.

    Not everyone... I couldn't even bring myself to unwrap mine!

    Me either. I had a bath soap sample and couldn't unwrap it for fear of needing to fumigate my house!
