Either that one, Electric Sheep, or maybe even Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo. I wish I may, I wish I might that I had a matching balm and aftershave splash for the ET. Mind you, the Glacial Unscented balm is also major menthol and there's no way it could screw up a fragrance. If I use the Electric Sheep I could use Lubriderm unscented moisturizer which is also great stuff.
Down to my last 2 new to me scents, Gentlemen and Pumpkin Spice. Which ever I do not use will be used on Friday. Having 20+ Stirling scents can be tough deciding which one to use. All are so good!!!!
This maybe an unusual question, but is this thread used to exchange (trade) Stirling products, or is this an area to exchange opinions thoughts on their products.
For those with experience with the following scents............. Coconut Lime: which scent is stronger? the coconut or the lime? overall satisfaction? Is there a better Stirling coconut based soap? Anyone try out the Port-Au-Prince yet? its mutton which interests me but how is the scent? Vanilla Sandalwood.............I love the smell of TOBS creme sandalwood how does this compare with its scent? I love the slickness that stirling offers over TOBS so wondering if this would be a good one. As always, Thanks
I have the older Port-au-Prince, which is non mutton. The scent is terrific. A grassy type of vetiver. I have used the Vanilla Sandalwood bath soaps quite a bit. I find the scent to be great as well. I prefer the straight Sandalwood, but the Vanilla Sandalwood is also good.
I have 6 full tubs, 12 Stirling samples in 8oz blue containers and 11 samples in sandwich baggies and only use a demitasse spoon to pick a piece off of them. Ok, I have 29 Stirling soaps!!!
Vanilla Sandalwood is very rich and heavy on Vanilla bean pod scent and a lighter very woody Sandalwood. It is delicious and love it. The straight Sandalwood is a wonderful very woody scent that reminds me of being in a lumberyard where Sandalwood is being cut. Also a favorite. Both are decadent.TOBS Sandalwood I also have and is good but is sweeter and more cologne like. Also good but very different.
I got in a bunch of samples from Stirling today with many of their summer releases. As far as the scents go, I expected to like some and not like some, but every single sample I got was a winner! Also love the badger fan brush. Lots of Sterling lots of happiness! Now to a question. I have several 2 ounce or 3 ounce sized pucks/blobs of Sterling that I got as part of a shave den clearance. None of them have very strong smells at all, and are much harder soaps than the ones I got today. In fact, I can hardly smell the MITA, executive man or several of the others. I'm guessing this means they are old? I wonder if they can lose their sent over time? Is this possible? Anyone have this experience before?
I got a sample of the coconut lime today, and it is the best coconut scent I've ever smelled, by far! The lime rounds it out a bit and makes it quite nice. I would not hesitate to pull the trigger on this one.
The Electric Sheep is an absolutely AWESOME soap. I swear, it lathered so rich and thick, its wonderful scent filled the bathroom, (much to my wife's chagrin) and the skincare felt terrific. Three passes gave me the best shave I've had so far this week. The Wilkinson blade seemed to tug less than it did yesterday, strangely enough.
Today my daughter selected the Pumpkin Spice soap. Since you cannot eat pumpkin pie cold, I prepped the new scuttle and boy was it delicious!!! My daughter could not stop begging me to get her a bath bar or just get a tub to shave with. I will admit that it is very different from anything else I have tried before and loved the change. My pumpkin pie has 3 spices, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. The site indicates it has the following scents, 'A seasonal blend of pumpkin, all spice, ginger, and nutmeg.' Yeah, I think I can smell all of them and might need to adjust MY pumpkin pie recipe to match!!! Just might need to look for this one comes the fall. Sharp star blade and this thick deliciously scented lather resulted in a 3 pass BBS. No touch up needed.
I have a feeling my wife would love that scent - at least in a bath soap. The thing is I have my preferences all set up. With me it's menthol and old-school scents all the way.
Tell me that again in the fall when your wife or mom starts baking pumpkin pies and all that will run through your head is that you can relive this scent with your shave!! Every pie will be a reminder of this soap. Or this soap will remind you of the deliciousness of all those past pies!!! We will see. I think a sample puck will be like crack cocaine.
