I used Sterling soaps about 5 years ago. I thought they smelled of base ingredients and the lather was thin and difficult to maintain. Flash forward to tonight when I tried a sample of present day Sterling....it appears Stirling has evolved and their new formula works MUCH better. It was actually good! I might have to revisit their site and place an order for a puck or two.
Glacial Spearmint cooled me off for a day that will reach in the upper 50's. Unfortunately, I got an extra close shave yesterday and got a bit irritated today. It was a close call but I opted to shave instead of skipping. 3 passes might have been overdoing it a bit but the lather, scent and chill were so good, I just had to continue. Love a close shave to start the day...
Anyone else use their extra lather as an Aftershave balm while rinsing out their brush and razor? Sometimes a great Stirling lather deserves more than being rinsed down the drain.
Yes, I'll do that from time to time. Stirling soaps are great for that. I also like using Mitchell's Wool Fat in this manner.
Everyone's been talkinabout Mitchell's Wool Fat...perhaps I should add that to my 2019 shopping list.
Today was Glacial Wintergreen and I think this is the end of my Stirling soaps for a little while. Off to the soaps in the bottom drawer. Then again, with so many Stirling, it won't be long before they come back into the rotation. I prefer Spearmint (an I would even prefer Peppermint but it is not offered in a Stirling soap) but Wintergreen was a nice chilling soap.
I should have used it too because it's going to be in the 50's here. Tomorrow they're calling for colder weather.
50's isn't warm enough for ME to use the 'green(or any Stoylin Glacial for that matter). But 50's in Montreal in February is perhaps something different to behold.
You can't imagine how hot it could get here in the summer. Weeks on end of 90+ and humidity to make you want to faint.
