The Sharp Dressed Man is one of my favorite scents. It's so lovely as well as so classy and refined. It pairs very well with certain fragrances I have such as Givenchy Pour Homme and even Davidoff Cool Water. Another Stirling soap I love is Electric Sheep. The funny thing is my brother-in-law says it smells a lot like Williams and I told him he's nuts!

For all the Stirling fans here, I just put a few up for grabs in the Marketplace. Looking for some different scent profiles. Dunshire Piacenza Tuscany http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/fs-razors-soaps-aftershaves.59339/
I just opened a puck of Stirling bay rum that has been sitting in my den for the last two years. I was worried about the scent dissipating after all this time. Those fears were unfounded! What a wonderful fragrance and lather! I’ll be enjoying this puck over the next few months.
I’m watching like a hawk for Glacial MITA. My next order will include Unscented Glacial so I can use it liberally without being “that guy.”
Well, I finally ordered some samples. I figure if I like em, I can order more, if I dont, I can always PIF them. I ordered texas wildfire, Stirling spice, lemon chill glacial, and being that I'm from Arkansas, I also got Ozark mountain. I've heard nothing but good things avout these soaps,so I figured why not try em out and see. Hope they come soon.
I'll be interested in your commentary on Texas On Fire. I currently have the Spice(both the soap and A.S.).
Not sure if I should start on that one first, or same it for last. The way I figure, it will either be love or hate. I won't watch any videos on it, dnot want to have any preconceived ideas going into it.
Don’t be scared of hydration with a Stirling soap. It can take LOTS of water. The more the better. Add it slowly. You will get the shiniest, most yogurty lather in the business. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
My next Stoylin product will be one of the brushes. Course you'll see when! . That is...next one for use, not for purchase.
Load your brush more than you might think is necessary, and add water VERY slowly so you don’t over-water..........though it takes a lot. You can always cut back on the amount after you get the hang of it and learn how many passes you average. Eventually you’ll learn the correct proportions and things will speed up. Soap is relatively cheap, so don’t get off to a less than enjoyable start by being stingy.
If you find any samples that move to PIFstatus status, get some over to fuzzy on the sly. He won't fess up, but the scuttlebutt is he's been seen cutting the Williams with it.
I'm becoming a fan of taking it just past the fluff and Puff over to a little sloshy, keeps on staying slick.
