Course I have the antithesis of Gentleman to use for tomorrow and maybe Wednesday...that Glacial Lime A.S. makes me feel like my face and neck are two parts of a skatin' rink!! (Yiccup).

My better half shot down Gentleman. I did not cry--I have allergies, and the sun was in my eyes (even though I was indoors... at night)

Hey everyone...a little birdy told me that Stirling will be having a "Spring Cleaning" sale starting tomorrow

Oh wow...right before our next Stoylin Tony Awards nomination event.

I can confirm this rumor. I’ve placed my order

You would cry too if it happened TOOO.....meeeee! (ahhh, just some Friday fun).

lol

Sandpiper up for the next 2, possibly 3, shaves. (both soap&A.S.).

I just took advantage of the statement from that bird.

Ehhh..Ladies and uh Gentlemen:

Just wanted to announce that the votes are in for the Tonys tomorrow. See ya in the morning!!

Can't go wrong with the Sandpiper!

It remains my favorite, although I'm anxious about some others that sound great.

ehhhh..LADIES and uh GENTLEMEN:

Welcome to the 3rd Stoylin Tony Awards Nominations event of this season. This comes just as Doc Ezlovan put out his most recent products.

Hello all,

After reading many pages of Stirling threads and reviews I placed an order for samples. They arrived a few days ago and so far I’ve tried Unscented with Beeswax, Stirling Spice, Gentleman, and Sheep.

Unscented with Beeswax gave me a fantastic shave with zero irritation - really impressive.

Unfortunately Spice gave me some irritation by the 3rd pass. I don’t see this one becoming something I can use with any regularity.

Gentleman was a very pleasant aroma, and the shave quality was excellent - this could easily become part of my rotation.

Having said all that, it was Sheep that absolutely blew me away tonight! I have never had such a close, comfortable, and irritation free shave that left my face feeling like I’d already applied a balm! I was truly impressed by this soap, and have had zero irritation from it (which seems to be a rare thing for me sadly). I will certainly be purchasing a full tub of this soap in the future!

Anyhow, I just wanted to share my excitement as I begin my Stirling journey. I finally get why so many are so loyal to this brand and to the people behind it.

Cheers.

EDIT:

Wanted to add a list of all of the samples that I ordered:

Executive Man
Mountain Man
Sharp Dressed Man
Gentleman
Stirling Spice
Scots Pine
Barbershop
Sandpiper
Sheep
Unscented with Beeswax

Menthol Monday:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 3
Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
B&M Arctique AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP
Kisses from my lovely wife

In complete contrast to the approaching winter in South Africa the hot summer is coming here to Canada so I wanted to gear up for it with some of my coldest stuff - even the mentholated pre-shave soap from Stirling has more than enough menthol in it to put a good chill in it and it does such a great job of cleaning the skin and softening up the beard, it protects against dryness, and it adds so much slickness. The Glacial Obsidian soap’s black licorice scent is beautiful, the lather is so rich, mega slick as well as mega frigid, and the skincare is so wonderful. The Glacial Unscented balm felt so icy cold, not to mention how moisturizing and soothing it was, while the Arctique aftershave brought the freeze to another level and although it smells lovely the scent moves out of the way for the Bleu de Chanel which has become my favorite fragrance. Three passes got rid of my tough stubble and left me as smooth as a baby’s tukhis!

Have a great week - be safe and healthy!

I recommend Sandpiper-great "cologne clone". I have Gentleman and Spice, and, like you, I had issues with Spice(more with the aftershave than the soap). With Gentleman, I just have the aftershave, but I happen to have a soap with nearly the same features, thus the two make a good team.

Awesome news! Stirling's mutton tallow formula is fantastic--I got their Scots Pine Sheep a couple years back, and am currently burning my way through Glastonbury (which is also a mutton tallow base). Great stuff

Now that is a wonderfully refreshing Menthol Monday, sir!
