1. That sounds SO good, you must smell spectacular! Sandalwood anything, is amazing.
  2. Last year for my birthday, one of my subscribers purchased a whole bunch of amazing products for me. One of the products was STIRLING Shaving Soaps. It has changed my life. Not only does the soap lather well, but the post-shave feel is spectacular, even before I've put on aftershave. The purchaser of these items was so smart in getting me Port-Au-Prince, where I'm adopted from, but also getting me a fragrance that smells divine. I can truly say I am a huge fan of Stirling and the fact that the soap smells like home makes the shave all the better.

    Love,
    Erica

  3. That sounds like the perfect stocking stuffer soap. I want to make this my Christmas morning shave! :santa

  6. I KNEW THAT. (lol.....now that you correct me, I recognize the company.). But I do recall that I was driven by the scent.
  7. It should be nice, but I have been corrected as to who makes it....it's Dolce&Gabbana. But we can get it from this company, too(If&When Available).
  8. Hello, Erica...welcome to TSD. Subscribers?? Just so you know for future reference,. I have silly names pertaining to this company. I call it "Stoylin"(probably how it would be pronounced in NY/NJ), and I call the owner Rod "Doc Ezlovan". But I love...well...Stoylin. :).
  9. If you want Paco Rabanne, I think PAA makes a dupe
  10. OK Thanks, but his aftershaves are too expensive. The soap, perhaps.
  11. I used Ozark Mountain soap and A/S last night. Amazing scent and now that I'm figuring the lathering out, the soap is probably gonna be my new go to. Maybe not this scent but Stirling because they are in my part of the country, Vet owned and seem to be just good people. Texas On Fire and Black Cherry are my next 2 shaves then I'll be ordering 2 full size sets maybe 3 and another round of samples.
  12. That was one "benefit" of my Men's Health Magazine subscription. Why go to a department store for a sample whiff of a fragrance when you can whiff it right from the magazine? :).

  14. By the way-I don't subscribe to M.H. anymore-I think it is meant for men younger than I am now.

  15. Does that mean you'll be heading to the department stores for your fragrance whiffs?

  16. Today is a day home with the family. I chose not to shave this morning, but realized there was nothing preventing me from applying a little Haverford. Now I smell extra awesome on my day off. :cool:

  17. Well, I can "steal" some whiffs at the gym where I work out....there are MH mags there. That's good enough.

    Prep: Cold water and PAA Cube pre-shave soap
    Blade: GEM PTFE
    Razor: Superior Lather Catcher SE
    Brush: JR #41 badger
    Soap: Stirling Gentleman
    Post: Witch hazel, Wet Shaving Products Tobacco aftershave

    Not a good shave, but it wasn't the soap's fault. Other factors were to blame. This was my second use of Gentleman and I can start to see why this scent is so alluring. More of the sweetness came out today in comparison to the first use. Interesting scent, for sure. The lather was wonderful as usual.
