The Stirling Exchange

Fanboy? Oh, a play on Fatboy.

 

Hello Stirling users

Today I used my first Stirling soap. I was looking for a product similar to B&M in performance to replace Taiga, and I also wanted something cooling for the Summer--perhaps a notch above Proraso. So, of course, I ordered a lot of samples beyond what I was actually looking for.

Today I tried the Stirling Barbershop. I really like the scent. Warm and smooth somehow, with talc, and reminds my of chocolate. It's like a warm mug of cinnamon spiced coco. The soap was much softer than I expected, but loaded, lathered, and performed wonderfully. Post-shave is hard to tell since I finish with Midnight & Two balm.

Overall, a great performer, and a soap that could easily replace B&M in my den. My last attempt at a B&M equivalent was Henri et Victoria, but my skin had a funny reaction for some reason, so hopefully it is ok with Stirling.

In a perfect world, this will be my new go-to supplier of soaps? Why perfect? Well because they have a fantastic selection of matching balms and splashes. It drives me a bit crazy to find that perfect soap scent and realize there is no matching balm. So, next steps...order some balm samples.

If it gets a bit warmer this weekend, I will try the orange chill sample.

 

I love the Barbershop soap. I won't use it in the hot&humid months, but it's great any other time.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

A fanboy is an excessive fan.

 

Ordered a replacement for my ES and also picked up Orange and Lemon chill shoaps.

It was my first use of Orange Chill today. I enjoyed it. Started with a nice orange scent, then the menthol.

Honestly, I am afraid of the Glacial Lemon Chill after using this one, but will give it a shot tomorrow.

 

That makes good sense, Mr. Cawtuh . I'd call myself a Stoylin fanboy too!

 

You must recall my first reaction to Glacial Wintergreen. (see below)




OOOOOOOHEEEEEEEEEGGHHYEOWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

I'm looking for a summer cooler. The Glacial sounds like it might be too much for me. Any suggestions?

 

Both iced pineapple and orange chill are great.

 

Thanks much BaylorGator. Both sound great I'll have to head to Stirlling's sute,

 

Just ordered the iced pineapple.

 

Iced Pineapple is my fave!

 

Something from Stoylin? Two suggestions-and I've only tried one of em. Mountain Man, and Coniferous. Now that I think of it, either one with added menthol might do the job. I had Mtn. Man as a sampler(A.S), but I keep wondering about that Coniferous(as in "should I or shouldn't I?).

 

You’re only looking for #2&3, so I’d suggest saving Coniferous for a later date. I really like the scent but it’s bold enough that I’m not always in the mood for it. It’s perfect when the mood strikes however. Ozark Mountain is also very strong/bold but it’s much more complex, and could be my only soap if I fell on hard times. If you’re trying to limit your soaps to four, I’d look at the couple dozen other choices. JMO.

 

Fresh out of the Shave Den.

Awesome Just Awesome. Love it
The sent is Perfect,performance as Always spot on.
This is a Great soap & Aftershave.

This helps me as I sort out my Stoylin Tony Award plans thanks

 

Course I haven't pinned down Christmas Eve as #4...remember, I have to study it, formulate a conclusion. It impresses me that you're crazy about though. And remember also, the winning choice will be my FIRST one for 2019. And I am looking at many possibilities-remember my post on the similarity of officiating the Best In Show at the Westminster Dog Show?

 

Coming soon to a theater near you.

 

I've heard very good things about Mountain Man - that goes on the list. But, I'm done now for 2018 with yesterdays purchase of the Iced Pineapple. You know Stirling put my order in the mail yesterday (same day I ordered it) - what service. Thanks much Paul for the suggestions.
