I'm eager to purchase my first one....I'd like to see Doc Ezlovan put out a few more though, but I'm glad Barbershop and Sharp Dressed Man are there.
SOTD MAYhem 2nd Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Nanjie TTO Derby Premium (3) Maseto Classic (30mm Finest Fan, Battle Cruiser Class) Stirling Satsuma soap and AS The Stirling pre-shave soap cooled my face down while I super gooped the Satsuma with the big Battle Cruiser classed Maseto brush. Great scent on the Satsuma, mostly mandarin orange with some spice and creamyness to it. Thee super slick passes later no blood was drawn and I ended up with a BBS shave. Followed up with a splash of the Glacial Satsuma AS, and OMG the glacial splashes are cold! Colder then the glacial PSB I think, or maybe its just that the menthol hits you faster.
I think the reason that the shampoo bars cure dandruff is that they contain so many moisturizing oils and that it is dry scalp that is causing the dandruff flakes. And all the drugstore shampoos/conditioners seem to contain chemicals that dry out my scalp. I also installed a shower filter. Before that I was getting skin itching problems every time I took a shower, it would make me itch and scratch like a junkyard dog (on my body). The head and shoulders or Selsun Blue do not cure dandruff they only keep it at bay for a day or 2 and then it comes back more fierce than ever. You become addicted to their product and have to use it for the rest of your life. And its expensive.
If your dermatology issues extend to your feet, the Heel and Palm Balm is the BEST product I’ve found for cracked/dry/nasty feet. I’ve tried foot specific products, and less conventional things like Bag Balm and even Obenauffs boot grease. Stirling beats it hands down.

I actually ordered a bar of the Activated Charcoal for my wife’s birthday. So backstory that most of you don’t want to hear: My wife’s birthday, our wedding anniversary, and opening of Walleye Fishing (capitalized purposefully, because it is a MN state holiday) are on the same weekend. This helps me to remember the dates, but also to have fun. I always do one thoughtful present, and a couple serious losers. Not exactly saying the charcoal soap is a loser, (sorry @ezlovan) but I guarantee it isn’t what she’s daydreaming about.
I'm sure she'll be happy if it gets the fish smell off your hands before you take her to dinner! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Wel I must say the Glacial Wintergreen soap hit me like...well, a glacier! I learned something from this-it didn't affect me as much in previous use because the temperatures were a little cooler and there was no humidity. After being exposed to high temps and a slice of humidity yesterday, the cold feeling from the Wintergreen showed with more strength this morning. I don't mind!!!
It is the ONLY reason to put up with the winters here. We still have ice on the lakes in the northern half of the state. But we gots fishes.
A hot shower, Tuscany via the Lil’ Brudder, and a fantastically smooth two pass shave with a 39c. No AS or balms. One handsome mug ready for the 5am alarm clock.
They’re just good brushes. They perform well, look great, are comfortable in hand and on the face, and are priced very fairly. I have quite a few brushes now, but find myself grabbing a Stirling more often than not.
