    It's a nice scent. I had an aftershave sample of it a while back.

    Day 2, Coconut Lime. Just a fantastic summer scent. My wife's favorite also.

    The Mtn. Man(A.S.) is nice indeed. I'll enjoy it for about 3, 4 more shaves. That's all I can get from the Samplers.

    I have it as a sample....looking forward to try it. I like it from the first few whiffs I've had, but I'll decide later which sample I'll buy as a full.

    What freaks me out about these Stirling samples is how long they last. I'm still using the Electric Sheep sample which I received a good three months ago with an order and it's still working great, although it's down to the dregs. Once it's finished I'll start the new 5.8 jar I have.

    update-Doc Ezlovan confirmed what you said about Executive Man, in that Maggards Meetup interview-when asked what is his most poplar one, he said "Executive Man BY FAR".

    Well shux, I have EM again in a new set, and I certainly hope the same thing doesn't happen again.

    I'm in the mood for a good face-freezing Glacial MITA shave tomorrow morning - yeah, that's what it'll be! ;)

    It's a game changer.
    I consider it an absolute "must-have" for summer months. Of course, I live in Texas...which means I really use it year-round.

    A Stirling SEptember

    Blade: GEM stainless
    Razor: GEM Pushbutton
    Brush: Semogue 1520 boar
    Lather: Stirling Grapefruit with menthol
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Grapefruit with menthol aftershave
    WTG, touch-up

    This grapefruit scent is so good. Deep and more sophisticated than just straight grapefruity-citrus. The lather is incredible and the little touch of menthol is nice and refreshing. Incredible stuff as usual.

    Enjoy your day!

    I have that problem with the sample bottles sometimes. Usually helps to rotate the bottle. I think it has to do with the cap insert they use, it seems to airlock at times.

    Agreed. I,just pop them out with a jack blade knife and pour carefully.

    Today I had the Mother of All Freezes thanks to the Glacial MITA soap, followed by the Glacial Unscented balm and a couple of dabs of the Arctique aftershave - BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

    @Bama Samurai I see you really love that Electric Sheep - guess what, so do I! ;)

    I'll do all 4 of my A.S. samples, to be fair, but the way I see it, here are the standings(for now):

    1. Xecutive Man
    2. Mtn. Man*
    3. Gatlinburg
    4. Lime**

    *tried these thus far
    **finished

    Is Autumn Glory available tomorrow? I already deleted the newsletter, but I think that's what it said.

    I believe the release has been pushed back to the eighth because of the holiday weekend, and some availability???
