I had an aha moment the other day after a great shave with my red tub Cella. It,s my favorite cream for both its performance and the almond/"cherry" scent. I was looking through my aftershaves for a pairing and came across a sample of Stirling's Black Cherry. For all of us Cella lovers, this is a beautiful love story lol! I also have a Black Cherry soap sample from Stirling too, and its great. But, for all of us that have a ton of Cella and know it lasts a long time, a bottle of Stirling Black Cherry AS seems like a next purchase to me lol.
That Sussex Spaniel was a beautiful dog. The Terrier was awesome as well, but I'm tired of seeing the BIS winner come out of the terrier group. I'm partial to the sporting group, being the owner of a handsome and friendly Brittany.

Clean, sophisticated, masculine. Really superb. Have a great day!
That is a nice-looking dog you have(I remember your video of touring the original Stoylin home). My family had an English Springer Spaniel, then a Golden Retriever(sadly, both hit by cars right in their prime years).
Y'know, if a Golden Retriever won BIS some year(as I'm sure it has in the past), the fans would cheer the roof off the Garden. The Golden is the #1 fan favorite there.
Just a guess, @Linuxguile , but was that your review I saw in the Stoylin Deep Blue See review section? I know you like it a lot.
SOTD February 13th Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap EDRIO #21 PAL Adjustable A Blade of unknown properties Paladin Winston (26mm, Frigate Class) Stirling Hipster soap and AS Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB I don't know any hipsters that smell this good! The scent of hipster is a clean citrus forward (grapefruit and bergamot) accord, with light florals, and a light, slightly woody base. Finished with some Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB followed by the Hipster AS. If you like grapefruit scents you really should check this one out, highly recommended!
Another great review Andrew. I am a grapefruit scent lover. Another to add to the list. Thank you again.

I'm thankful that I can tolerate this scent. I know there is some ingredient that bothers a small population but I seem to be safe. What a classic, nice scent. Really enjoyable.
If it's good enough for Redford and Eastwood, it's good enough for you!! . But to be serious, thanks for bringing up the ingredient issue....when I had a SDM sampler,. I don't recall being bothered by anything, but I have respect, of course, for those who are. In that set of samplers I had, my only real emotion was "Wow, Sandpiper's my man!!". But SDM was nice...maybe I'll bundle it in with another set of samplers.
You have impeccable taste my friend. SDM has such an amazing aroma and I too am glad that it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Sometimes I do wish that it was stronger, but I understand that that might be more harmful to some. My beautiful sweetheart got me the AS for Deep Blue Sea and some Baker Street bath soaps. She always knows exactly what I like. Stirling added a Queen of Hearts bath sample. Wow! I don't know when this is coming out but fellas, get it for every female in your life! Excellent, light perfume scent that is just lovely. (Really sets the pheromones on full blast) lol IMHO, Rod and Mandy have hit another homerun.
