    Wow @Frejolero you have excellent recall. I remembered the good Doc explained it but forgot that it was in this thread. Great job!

    Since the AS came in, I finally got to use Stirling One last night. Nice scent, but my sniffer is a little busted right now so I apologize for not being able to give you a better description. I do have to say that I much prefer Deep Blue Sea and Kaboom. (Smelling the container before my sinuses started messing up) I really regret not getting Kaboom for myself as well and I still think that Stirling One is pleasant though. My two youngest liked it and asked to pretend shave with it. They have come a long way with their lather building! Lol As always, happy shaving all!

    I found that Stirling One transformed quite a bit when lathered. I agree with you on Deep Blue Sea, man that's a great scent! I would rank them DBS>One>Haverford>Kaboom

    I agree with you. Stirling One did smell different lathered. The boys did smell quite wonderful at bedtime. I haven't had the opportunity to smell Haveford. There's just something special about that Deep Blue Sea! I hope that it comes out as a body butter, lotion and edt.

    I guess we can cross HER off as one of the "There's Something About....An A-qua Velva Maaaaannnn" ads, eh?

    Her response would be something like "Yeah, They're walking around the retirement home"

    I'd come back with "Better Aqua Velva than Axe".

    Funny, I was just going to bring up Ed Pinaud!! Course Clubman goes back waaaay further than AV.

    Of course I jest, Paul. This was my comment on what Deep Blue Sea smells like "The scent of Deep Blue Sea is amazing, nice modern cologne scent with a bit of floral in the opening and a slight woodsiness in the base. "

    Slight, eh? Yes, do you realize we've been talkinabout Axe, Clubman, and Aqua Velva in The Stoylin Exchange? Wonder how Doc Ezlovan will react. But back to DPS, a "modern cologne" scent-I suppose most colognes are modern, right, if you count, say, Drakkar Noir(the 1980's), and many of these others I never heard of before that we can sniff for free in magazines.

    Used "Ozark Mountain" this morning. I still can't get over how close to a frosty spring morning it smells like. Seriously, this reminds me of walking through the Ozarks in North East Arkansas. Great jon as always Stirling! IMG_20190131_094503_019.jpg

    I just enjoyed a fantastic shave with Scots Pine Sheep. Two days growth didn’t stand a chance against SPS, my Stirling butterscotch and 34C. I didn’t want the shave to end!

    That sheep formula is awesome.........somehow raising an already very high bar.
