Sunday morning’s Atomic Grand Freeze: Cool shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 8 Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS Prep ASB Floid Vigoroso AS Splash My face is so bloody frozen that it feels almost numb but I LOVE that sensation. The Glacial Electric Sheep soap is so awesome - it’s mutton tallow based so it gives fabulous lather with tons of slickness, the scent is a delightful blend of lemon, limonella, and eucalyptus, the menthol freeze starts immediately and each pass makes it stronger, and it leaves the skin feeling like it’s been born again. The Prep delivered so much soothing and moisturizing while the Floid Vigoroso aftershave gave me a powerful menthol kick along with its wonderful old school barbershop scent that lasts almost all day. Another great fun filled three pass BBS shave - today it looks like it’s going to rain on and off so I think I’ll just hang out here at home. Enjoy your Sunday - be well and stay safe!

Menthol Monday’s Heavy Duty Grand Freeze: Cool Shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 9 Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS Bundubeard Stoffel ASB Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash Two fantastic soap and aftershave geniuses contributed to this Grand Freeze - first it was my dear brother Rod whose Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave have such a gorgeous scent - the soap is such a pleasure to lather, the slickness is amazing, the menthol sensation is so strong that it’s almost borderline painful, but it gives wonderful skincare. My other dear brother Jaco from Bundubeard in Pretoria, South Africa has a great balm called Stoffel which is peppermint scented in a very nice way, it’s also freezing cold, and just a small amount provides so much soothing as well as moisturizing. Finally back to Rod with his Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave which smells so beautiful, the scent lasts almost all day, and the menthol kick is off the charts. Three glorious passes gave me a magnificent BBS shave that felt like from the Garden of Eden! Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Help me Shave Den, you're my only hope. 1. I absolutely love Gin and Tonic on the Rocks. The bath soap, the shave soap & especially the aftershave. Sadly, their whole Gin & Tonic line has been discontinued. Does anyone know of an aftershave with a similar Gin & lime scent that is this balanced & refreshing? A few I've found but not yet tried: - Pinaud's Gin (too much like Aqua Velva? -according to one review) - Alcolado Glacial 2. What are Stirling's witch hazel & aloe products like? Would this be an adequate replacement for traditional aftershave? Is it more like a lotion or splash?
I'm so pleased that I happened to find my Glacial Lemon Chill soap a while ago, and use it today . I've been very happy with Doc Ezlovan's glacial offerings.
Menthol Monday’s Awesome Grand Freeze: Cool shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 2 Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB Stirling Glacial Wintergreen Witch Hazel Aramis EdT Not only am I ever frozen to the max I smell great. The Glacial Wintergreen trio did a helluva number on me with its killer cold menthol sensation. The soap lathered like it was going out of style, the slickness helped the 7 AM to glide across my face so easily, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The matching balm and witch hazel were a perfect finish. Finally the lovely Aramis fragrance and I’m good to go. Three glorious passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was fit for a king!

I've been a Stirling fan for a while but never seen such bottles/labels. Are those a custom concoction or did I miss some special edition?
Friday morning - close to being a Grand Freeze: Quick shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 6 Stirling Frozen Tundra SS Bundubeard Boomslang 3 ASB Floid Vigoroso AS Splash This Frozen Tundra is the second coldest soap after the Glacials and I LOVE it. The scent is awesome - it’s a blend of wintergreen, peppermint, and earthy notes, the lather and slickness are super, it gives a lulu of a menthol sensation, and it’s so skin friendly like all of Rod’s soaps. The Boomslang 3 balm is extremely moisturizing as well as soothing, its scent is very nice, and there’s plenty of menthol in it also. Finally the magnificent Floid Vigoroso aftershave with its old school European barbershop scent and its icy cold menthol kick completed the job. Another terrific three pass BBS shave that felt like from the Garden of Eden! Happy 4th of July to all my friends in the US of A! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Menthol Monday’s Heavy Duty Grand Freeze: Cool shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 9 Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS Bundubeard Stoffel ASB Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash Man alive, this Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave smell absolutely GORGEOUS. The scent is a perfect copy of Virgin Island Water from Creed with two boatloads of frigid menthol. The soap buried my face in such thick, rich, super slick lather, the menthol sensation felt killer cold, and the postshave feeling was terrific. The Stoffel balm and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave were a perfect finishing combo. Three passes gave me a most enjoyable BBS shave to start the week! Be well and safe lads and lassies!

Thanks for ID-ing the Iceberg Island scent. Never knew it was similar to a Creed(course I know Doc Ezlovan likes to do that).
Oh Aphrodite! This is such an interesting scent. I'm quite dreadful at describing such things, but there is some mysterious clean, smoky, peppery scent until it dries down into a powder like scent. These are secondary to the main scent, which I can't describe, but gin does not come to mind. Not that I have sampled all gins the world over, although it is one of my favorite spirits. Gent's Gin isn't a direct replacement for the Glorious Glacial Gin & Tonic (it lacks the freshness, menthol chill & lime note - the name matches the scent precisely) - irregardless, GG is lovely and I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. Looks like I need to expand my Pinaud collection beyond Bay Rum. Stirling leaves me with no other choice. I did email them about G&T and he said he was sad to discontinue as he stated it was one of his fav. scents, but the demand wasn't there. *cries into shave mug* They're fabulous, I wish he would bring them back.
Saturday morning’s Freaky Grand Freeze: Cool shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 14 (last day) Stirling Glacial Citron SS Bundubeard Stoffel ASB Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash OMG, after using a setup like this it’s a miracle that my face didn’t disintegrate because the menthol power is so STRONG. The Glacial Citron soap and aftershave’s scent is delightful - it’s lemony driven but with notes of lime, and tangerine, the soap is a lather monster that has so much slickness, as soon as the brush makes contact with your skin the menthol sensation hits you, and the skincare is typical Stirling perfection. The Stoffel balm provided such moisturizing along with a whopping menthol feeling of its own, and the Glacial Citron aftershave went on frigidly cold. This 7 AM blade is at the end of the road but it gave me one last hoorah with a great three pass BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed! Wishing you all a lovely day - be well and stay safe!

Menthol Monday’s Bone Chilling Report: Cool shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 2 Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS Bundubeard Stoffel ASB Fine Snake Bite AS Splash Versace Eros EdP (sample) Not too much to say besides this shave was beautifully BBS as well as mega frigid. This Versace Eros fragrance……to be honest I don’t think I would want to have it in my rotation so after it’s finished I’ll forget about it. Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

I'm sure DocEzlovan's Snake Bite is nice and "comfortably" cold, but just the title gives me the creeps.
Don’t you love those lemony scented icicles in your face my friend? Great shave! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wednesday morning’s Nuclear Grand Freeze: Cool shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 4 Stirling Glacial Cedar SS Bundubeard Stoffel ASB Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash Azzaro Wanted By Night EdP No fooling around today - it’s going to be 40 Celsius with the humidity factor so it had to be a FRIGID setup. The Glacial Cedar soap and aftershave smell so beautiful and give a menthol sensation that can knock a polar bear on his tukhis. The Wanted By Night fragrance from Azzaro is nice, yes but it’s not something I would buy again. All in all a great three pass BBS shave that was most enjoyable. Off to my pool soon!
