Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze: Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra Green day 10 Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB Osage Rub AS Splash Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT My face is so frozen from three passes with the Glacial MITA that I think it’ll need all day to thaw out - this soap has three times more menthol in it than the regular version which is also plenty cold. The scent and lather are exactly the same - in other words they’re awesome, and so is the skincare. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Osage Rub aftershave added their own wonderful iciness and soothing. Another cracker of a BBS shave! Be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thursday morning: La Roche-Posay Exfoliating Scrub Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra Green day 11 Stirling Sharp Dressed Man SS Nivea Sensitive ASB English Leather Classic AS Splash Azzaro Wanted By Night EdP The Astra Green blade is still performing like a champ - it really surprises me because I only get longevity like this with my Minoras. After not using my Sharp Dressed Man soap for so long I really enjoyed the magnificent scent, it gave me such wonderful lather which was super rich, mega slick, and so protective. The Nivea Sensitive balm’s scent is not to my liking but it’s very moisturizing and soothing. The English Leather aftershave brought back memories of my arrival in Canada. Today’s shave was ultra smooth and very enjoyable! Have a great day - be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I actually tried Osage in early winter...was OK. Might do it again in these colder months as an experiment.
Friday morning’s Grand Freeze: Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra Green day 12 Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdP Has anyone ever tried shaving with their eyes almost closed? That’s what could happen if you use any of these Glacial soaps. This Eskimo Tuxedo has the exact same gorgeous scent as the Sharp Dressed Man - it’s based on Creed’s Green Irish Tweed, the lather works up so rich, slick, and creamy with a menthol sensation that hits like a ton of icy cold bricks, but you get a wonderful, soothing postshave feeling. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Krampert’s Frostbite aftershave keep the freeze going for a couple of hours. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that was so pleasurable! Have a great weekend - stay healthy and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Very excited for the arrival of this Stirling order! After ordering a grand total of 30 samples I have decided on Bergamot Lavender and Haverford for full tubs! As a coffee lover I also couldn’t help but snag some Iced Coffee (which I enjoyed for this evening’s shave!). I also ordered a couple of body soaps (like Paul, I will use these as hand soaps) to test two new scents. (First impressions are great for Deep Blue Sea and uncertain for Benjamin Franklin).
Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra Green day 13 Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS Prep ASB Fine Snake Bite AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdP My first time using the Glacial Electric Sheep soap and I frigging LOVE it. That beautiful citronella/lemon/eucalyptus scent together with such intense menthol fumes, that rich, thick, super slick lather which is so easy to work up, and that overwhelming menthol sensation that hits you like a sledgehammer. The mutton tallow base promotes absolutely perfect skincare as well - this soap is magnificent. The Prep and the Snake Bite aftershave felt rapturous when I got finished. Three passes left me mega BBS! Be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paco Rabanne might be my favorite scent of all time. I’ve never smelled Invictus (Triumph). Is it totally different?
Just curious, is anyone else finding that the top layer of their iced coffee soap is dark brown, but underneath is almost white? I’m a scooper (I don’t swirl in the tub), and after a couple of scoops I’ve hit this lighter layer of soap. It still smells the same, and it shaves just fine, but I’ve never seen this in any of my other Stirling soaps! Anyone else have this experience? Or maybe Rod could explain why this might be happening... thanks!
Friday morning: Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra Green day 5 Stirling Electric Sheep SS Nivea Cool Kick ASB Bleu de Chanel AS Splash Bleu de Chanel EdP No complaints at all about this shave - three passes left me completely BBS and not only that, my skin felt so well moisturized, soothed, and comfortable thanks to the Electric Sheep soap. I love its unique citronella/eucalyptus/lemon scent, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, and the blade glide is fantastic. The Nivea Cool Kick balm felt great, and the Bleu de Chanel aftershave together with the matching eau de parfum smell magnificent! Have a nice weekend - be well and safe!

Does the Electric Sheep remind you of the Vintage Menthol Williams Mug Soap that was around in the 80's and 90's. I'm wondering if the scents, and lather are similar. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk
Not at all! My brother-in-law says that the Electric Sheep smells a lot like Williams but I don’t think so. It smells and lathers a million times nicer than Williams and has much better skincare! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well, I think I figured it out. I went to use my Iced Coffee yesterday, and found that the spot of white soap had turned dark brown! It must be an oxidization of sorts or some part of the curing process. I’m not totally sure, but it seems to just be part of this soap’s formulation. cheers
