Used Stirling Baker Street aftershave as part of this morning's shave. It's so silky! It seems to have a different texture than the other Stirling splashes I own. Perhaps not but seems so at least. Feels great going on and terrific scent.
I'm very curious about the Stirling Menthol pre-shave soap. I used a sample of the regular unscented version and I found it to be very good. from what I understand, this one is not a face-freezer but it's still apparently very nice and cooling. I've had the Glacial Lemon Chill bath soap before and that one is enough to freeze someone to smithereens. Tomorrow I'll have a shave with the Gin & Tonic on the Rocks. Not really a monstrous freeze but it's still definitely a cold soap and its scent is delicious. Great lather and post-shave care as well.
I use the Mentholated pre-shave soap every day. If you like the regular version, the Mentholated is even better. Your right, it isn't a face freezer, but it does provide a nice, refreshing cooling, which is wonderful in SE Texas, especially in the heat of the day after some physical activity. Just don't get it in your eyes, as the menthol stays for a while.
I can't wait to get it. Oh, one thing I learned about the Stirling menthol soaps is that it could be hell on earth if the menthol gets too close to your eyes, especially the Glacials. Even the bath soaps, like the Lemon Chill and Spearmint have that effect!
I'm wanting to try it as well. Sounds great! I've never used any type of pre-shave before. No oils or soaps. I'm willing to try this one.
I'm sure it's fantastic. I also ordered the Glacial Lemon Chill balm which I'm expecting to be as wonderful as the other Glacial balms I have - Wintergreen, Spearmint, Obsidian, and Unscented. I swear, since I started using Rod's stuff my skin has never been so good, although I must say my wife's love has also had a lot to do with it!
I don't really use it just as a pre-shave. I just use it like a face soap. Stirling has a face soap bar that is tallow free. This, I believe, is the same but with more glycerin than the standard face bar. I use it every shower, whether I am shaving or not, and think it works great.
Have you guys tried the 5 min challenge? Stirling Glacial Black Cherry pairs very nice with a Stirling boar Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
Thank you, I really appreciate that. What do I think.....AWESOME! Everyone should have a jar. The scent is a good 7 or 8 even with the menthol. It's fatastic! Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
You're gonna laugh - to me the scent is around an 8.5 even though the menthol is so potent. Lolllll I fricking love this soap!
I couldn't argue with that lol. It's strong. I had it open for a few min, not blooming at this point, and it filled the entire bathroom. It's great! Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
I never bloom any soaps but on Monday when I used it my wife claimed the scent hit her while she was passing by my bathroom. It's one whopper of a scent. This fall I'd like to get a tub of the non-mentholated Black Cherry. Also the Gin + Tonic without the "Rocks!"
I've got both Gin and Tonics and there's not much different in the scent, but oh that menthol lol Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
I enjoyed the Gin + Tonic on the Rocks so much this morning. The first time I ever used this soap I wasn't expecting it to be so cold. It turned out to be a very nice surprise!
