In praise of Stirling Soaps...

Just got executive man, coconut lime, and san padre. All great scents.

Also picked up executive man aftershave balm.

 

I haven't tried any of the ones you listed... well now I know what my next order will consist of

 

Executive man is a great scent. If you like summer scents coconut lime and san padre are nice.

 

I highly recommend the glacial lemon chill. Fantastic scent!

 

I'll throw in my $.02, not that it's worth much. I just got my order from Stirling, I bought the Nag Champa and Port-Au-Prince from their sale items section, and Rob also threw in a Sharp Dressed Man sample. While I haven't opened the Port-Au-Prince or the Sharp Dressed Man, I shaved with Nag Champa this morning, and it's absolutely fantastic. Definite East Indian vibe going on, lasts a while, and, if you like an almost incense smell, it's right up your alley

 

I have SDM but Nag Champa and Port-au-Prince sound amazing!

 

Nag Champa is addictive. One of my nephews was over last night. He's 20, and he's trying to grow some hair just so he can get into wet shaving, just to use some Nag Champa. How is SDM? I haven't even unwrapped the sample

 

Added a puck of both Nag Champa and Port-au-Prince to my cart now just have to wait for the funds lol. Wait till you try SDM (just shaved with it actually..) it is awesome!

 

LMAO I was gonna break out the Mitchell's Wool Fat on Sunday morning, but the SDM might get the nod now, thanks

 

Really liking Hot Apple Cider

I ordered Bonaparte. Its..... not for me... The scent makes me feel nauseous

I enjoy the Pharaoh's Dreamsicle though. Really cool scent.

 

Bonaparte is another one I want to try as well as PD.

 

What do you like about Pharaoh's Dreamsicle....and not like about Bonaparte? I'm trying to get an idea for the next order I place

 

Pharoahs dreamsicle has a nice muskiness that reels in the sweet creamsicle scent. There is a lot going on with the soap.

Bonaparte has ylang ylang which just overloads the scent and mangles the whole thing. The ylang ylang makes me nauseous, but if you get past it there is as very delightful scent that is herbaceous and citrusy. It's a real shame

 

I'm thinking I'll get a sample of the Bonaparte and a puck of the Pharaoh's dreamsicle, it sounds delightful. I also keep looking at Benjamin Franklin, wondering whether I've got the nerve to pull the trigger on that one

 

Get a sample of Bonaparte, Autumn Glory, and Hot Apple Cider. If you don't have Ozark mountains, get a full jar, as well as Executive Man.

Pharaohs dreamsicle is great too

If island man is left in stock, get a full jar.

That will get you set for a while

 

ROFL you would think so, wouldn't you? I just got 7 different soaps, including MWF (which feels amazing, by the way). Even with the new soaps, I'm seriously considering getting some more in a couple weeks. There's just so much out there. Damned SAD LOL

 

I bought roughly 20 soaps in a month when I started earlier this summer. I feel you. I wanted to try it all. It has really subsided now and my interests have moved on to more expensive hardware

 

I really love the Barbershop soap. It smells so nice, like a true old-school barbershop. Great lather as well and brilliant post-shave care as well. You cannot go wrong with Rod's stuff!

 

Well, the problem I'm running into is that I think I've caught SAD, but I'm also looking into getting a Rolls Razor and a straight. Who said that wet shaving was cheaper??????

 

I had a Dapper Dragon Barbershop sample that smelled awesome. Need to order from him again
