I have the Sandpiper and Sandalwood EdTs. My experience with their performance seems similar to @Shadow Shaver's. I personally love them as well. they have very good staying power and it doesn't break the bank even if you do have to take another "shot: later in the day or evening. We already know their scents, and the EdTs sure don't disappoint. Great scents, great value. I recommend them to compliment their other same scented products. And, they can stand alone on their own as a fragrance choice if you just want one their wonderful scents. I'll be treating myself to more Stirling EdTs soon, and my @Amy Warner got me my second bottle of Sandpiper for Christmas. My Sirling soap, AS splash and EdT "bundle" days are some of my favorites. (I can also do that with their Sandalwood, I just happen to be a big fan of the Sandpiper).
Now that Sandpiper soap became the winning soap of the first Stoylin Tony Awards, I have a full soap AND a full A.S.
SOTD February Favorites 20th Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap EDRIO #25 RazoRock Wunderbar Schick Plus Platinum (3) WWBW Jungle Ebonite (26mm, Frigate Class) Stirling Iced Pineapple soap and AS Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB Decided to go with a favorites setup today. Stirling Iced Pineapple. The number 1 scent in my den. Doesn't get used enough because I have way too many soaps. When I do use it though it brings a smile to my face and a bounce to my step.

That's a problem I'm getting now...some of my favorites have to impatiently "wait their turn". It makes ME somewhat impatient. But then I need to realize, I'm happy with all I have for now. The goal is to be happier down the road.
I completely agree with you Paul. It's all about collecting the scents that you love and enjoy. Iced Pineapple is definitely one of those. @Linuxguile that is some great looking lather. Because of my skin I can't shave every day. I must admit though that it doesn't stop me from using my favorite scents just for the smell of it!
I suppose I'd better consider Iced Pineapple as I make my Stoylin Tony Awards choices throughout the year.
Razor: Above the Tie SE2 Blade: Feather Professional Brush Handle: B-400 The Brush by Tom Knot: APShaveCo Tuxedo Soap: Stirling Ozark Mountain Aftershave: Stirling Ozark Mountain First shave with the new ATT and I think I went too aggressive with my blade choice. I got 2 weepers tonight, first time in years. I bought a good selection of blades from the fine folks at Try a Blade in anticipation of this razor so I'll try another blade next shave. The Stirling performed flawlessly, I love this scent. Hopefully I have better luck with the next blade because I love this razor. Have a great day!
Very nice looking set-up. How do you like that brush? Also, I know very little about AtT razors. Is yours normally an aggressive or mild model? Not trying to be nosy, I just really enjoy hearing about other people's opinions to help judge future acquisitions. Why not learn from experience right?
As I said before, I love Iced Pineapple! Thanks to Andrew and several others always speaking so highly of it. I do have to say Paul that you will not get the "Winter Blast" Yehuda D is always so fond of! Lol It was an amazing introduction to the menthol world and a refreshing chill on 25 degree mornings!
Nice scent for my taste. Light, clean, fresh, not overbearing, lasts good. Worth a shot. However, if Rod brings back Stirling for Him, I'm gonna over-buy and say bye to Blu. My opinions.
Yes Sir! I know that I say that a lot of scents are amazing but Stirling Blu is definitely another terrific Stirling scent. Wonderful manly cologne smell... not too sweet, clean, with some citrus notes at the end. Great stamina. Wife loves it. I gift it out very often and it is always well received. You should try a sample at least.
Thank you for the compliment. The brush was made by @twhite and is a replica of the Rubberset 400. I love this brush, the handle has a nice weight and feel and the Tuxedo knot is a favorite. I was lucky to get one. The SE2 is an aggressive razor but I tend to lean more towards aggressive because my beard is very coarse. I rushed through the shave tonight because I had other things to do and I got bit. I'm going to try a Kai blade next and see how it goes. I like the Feathers in my General, actually prefer the Feather Pros, but this ATT is much more aggressive plus it feels like it weighs 10X as much. One of the things I like most about this hobby is there's always something to learn.
Thank you for your reviews. Always love to hear a fresh perspective. I also like Kai and Feather blades, Kai more so. I am also hopelessly hooked on Balzano blades. Not as sharp as the previous two but quite durable and lasting. You are spot on though, always something to learn and always something for everyone! Happy shaving all!
