There are many aftershaves available, and while they don’t last as long as a cologne or EDT, they smell great and don’t break the bank. That said, I’d be in line for Stirling colognes too.

A monstrous freeze from the Glacial Wintergreen trio and the Arctique. BBS in three delightful passes!
Good luck with the expansion. I tried the deodorant and like it, so I'll look forward to your new offerings.

I’ve been using my Executive Man deodorant for a full week now and I’m thoroughly impressed. It took zero adjustment time, and I’ve smelled my best in a long time. I went five days without showering while camping in Idaho. I did a hot water and washcloth routine each night, but that would just knock off the worst of the dirt/sweat/oil. I smelled like I’d been camping for sure! Every morning I applied some new Executive Man and it worked!! My armpits were the ONLY areas that smelled civilized. I splashed on Bay Rum like a Junior High kid, and it literally disappeared within minutes. So excluding and allergic reactions, I’m really looking forward to the seven deodorant scents that are (supposedly/hopefully) arriving on Wednesday.
Does anyone know how long the limited scents normally last on Stirling's website? I'm doing a no-buy challenge this year, but may have to go down for the R4L set.
I don't know the answer, but I'm doing NB this year too, and when I face a similar dilemma, I figure I'll just wait to see what "limited" scents are available NEXT year.
I, on the other hand, pounce and hoard! I’ve lost track of the countless times a favorite product is quietly discontinued, and I then find myself on EBay bidding at 200+% of its original value!! I have a NIB backup for many things I use regularly. When I wear out the first one, it won’t matter that it’s been out of production for years (or has been cheapened). If I croak before getting to the backup, my son can use the stuff or make a killing on Ebay.
I agree with Paul. I too am on NB for 2018 to try to reduce my current inventory but I weakened (because of this thread) and bought Iced Pineapple and a few samples. "Stoylin" has so many scents available that I know that I'll find something that I haven't tried but that I'll like.
That'll be a major challenge for me, once the humidity escapes here(late Sept,,,,perhaps early Oct). Get going on my current cold-weather soaps to see if I can get rid of one by 12-31. Still a lot left of each one. But knowing me, I'll end up flippin' that logic outta the water and combine that by juming right in to the ones I received as PIF's .
I hear ya, I really don't need anymore soaps but I just ordered a bottle of the Sandpiper AS, and two shave soap samples each of Gin And Tonic On The Rocks, and Lemon Chill. I wish Rod had samples of the Lemony Orange SS. Stirling Soaps take care of your skin year round. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
As for your comment on Stoylin soaps and year-round strength, I'm sure you're right, but you won't find me using Glacial Wintergreen on Christmas.

It would be like going face first into a snow bank. At Christmas time I usually use my Bay Rum, or Sandalwood soaps quite a bit. This year Arkadia, and Sandpiper will also be used. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
