The Stirling Exchange

Y'know, it was nice of Doc Ezlovan to tell me I could do a review of a Stirlin' product even if I got it from somewhere else. (A PIF, in my case).

 

Island Man with some M-Bomb last night made for a great shave. That stuff begs to be Mentholated. I really don't get the island thing out of the scent. I don't really get the listed scent profile out if it. But I like it, and the menthol helps it make sense.

I used the Stirling Gentleman soap & aftershave today in my rotation. Each time I use it, I am overwhelmed at how nice the scent is!

 

Will I ever finish this tub of Eskimo Tuxedo? It just seems to last forever. It gave me another monstrous face-freeze along with a boatload of super-rich, slick lather!

 

Happy Birthday Jeff!

 

I'm with on this. I just LOVE this scent!

I think I'll use a non-Stirling item tomorrow and try my luck at bowl-lathering. My bowl will be:

An empty Glacial Lemon Chill container!

It shows that Stirling is always in my heart no matter what!

 

Rod and Mandy are first class people. Finest kind. And especially on this weekend, don't forget that he and Mandy are both vets who have served overseas. Give them a thanks, even if a private one in your head.

 

Talking about vets, Rod knows that I'm an IDF war vet. He practices his Arabic with me - I'm his coach. He's got a good knowledge of it now. His accent is even getting better!

 

There is pretty much never a day in my life that goes by where I don't use a Stirling product. If you were to draw up a randomizer and figure the percentages: SOMETHING Stirling shows up every day; to the point where I even notice if it doesn't.

Thanks, Rod and Mandy..

 

Talk to me about Ben Franklin. I can't get a good sense of the scent.

 

That was choice #2 of the 4 sample aftershaves I got. Interesting that it beat out Exec Man and SDM.

 

P.S. I did the review and he put it on the site.

 

That's exactly where I am with BF.

 

Someone at one point mentioned a root beer type of smell. Perhaps a bay rum influence in there, too?

 

Clovey as Hell, and birch beer.

My wife kind of can't stand it. I love it for when I am alone on a Saturday. It is one of those. I doubt I will replace it. I mean, I like deep fried gizzards too, but don't have them in my kitchen every day.

 

Okay, that helps a lot! I think I'll pass. I saw one for a good price on a B/S/T but I won't pursue it.

 

Not for me then. I can be described in many ways, but clovemeister ain't one of them. I do have Stirling well in mind to help ,me prepare for NB18, though, and I love my current Stoylins...(Barbershop soap and Sandpiper AS).

 

I will do everything I can to have them up in June.

 

And for the record, pumpkin pie warm on the first piece with whipped cream, and then chilled for the second and third when you are finishing off the leftovers. Either way is fantastic. But you never ever ever reheat pie.

Dang, now I'm jonesing for some pumpkin pie. I'm gonna see if I can sweet talk Mandy into making one tonight.

Edit: for the record, aside from being a great soapmaker, Mandy is one hell of a cook. Her pumpkin pie is top shelf.
