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!
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.
John, I'm kind of interested in that one, too. I have part Scottish ancestory....might be time to honor that.
Paul, the reviews that I read on Stoylin's web site weren't all gaga over the scent of Scots Pine Sheep or Electric Sheep but they seem to agree with Latherin’ Luddite that the performance was a step up from Stoylin's already great standard formula soap. Several reviewers even suggested more scents be available with the mutton tallow formula. The performance has me even more intrigued than the current scents.
I have a sample of Scots Pine Sheep and the performance is wonderful. It's a similar experience to other Stirling soaps but the mutton tallow offers an even better post-shave feel. Your skin will feel soft and hydrated. It's terrific.
It’s very similar to Coniferous..........if you’re familiar with that one. If not, try to imagine a very strong NATURAL pine smell. Not like Pinsol or the tree sit fresheners, but real pine trees. I’m not always in the mood for the scent, but when I am, it hits the spot. The performance of the sheep formula is always perfect however.

Mostly scots pine essential oil. There's a good chance you've smelled it on a Christmas tree lot if you've been to one. The mutton tallow soap itself has a scent that come through too. Not terribly strong, but it's there.
That was a factor in Naked&Smooth making it to the Tony nominee circle last year, and I am not above re-nominating N&S. The Stoylin soap performance is just wonderful.
I posted my shave in the 30Day thread, but since it was all Stirling..... Barbasol Floating Head Razor Feather Blade Semogue BC Texugo Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill Soap and ASB Continuing through my infrequently used razors, I broke out the Barbasol tonight. Great razor and I have used them a bunch in the past, but I only have a minty one in the shipper that I use every so often (then clean and put away). I decided to go all in and celebrate the polar vortex tonight. I broke out the Glacial Lemon Chill and dumped a tumbler of ice in the sink. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap is still too much for me, but it is fun once in a while. I love the Feather blade in this razor. Finished with a cold water splash and a hit of the matching ASB. I think it was a good shave, but I still cant feel my face. Some times it is fun being stupid.... Enjoy your night.
2 Stoylin products for use tomorrow-the Pro-Handle Brush, and a repeat performance with the Barbershop soap.

Mountain Man is a great scent to me. I have the soap, splash and EDT and its in my regular rotation. I hope you enjoy yours as much.
Thanks, John. I was just stating in the 30DC thread that I knew from the first use of my sample that this would be a full size purchase. Wonderful scent. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
