I'm excited about these Perry. I'm a big fan of Polo Blue and these have been on my radar for a while. Once I got the email from Rod I knew I needed to jump on it. It's also hot as hell here in Phoenix right now and the mentholated bath soaps will really be a treat. The hard part was deciding what to get rid of the make room for the Blu set. I'm forcing myself to keep my den to only 15 sets. It was a tough choice but in the end I decided that the Nuavia Verde has to go.
Perhaps a soap saver would help? Maybe the lack of atmospheric humidity here helps them last longer because they firm up a little more and aren't as soft? Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
I admire your drive to keep just 15 sets. I should do that! My Blu set arrived and it smells great. Not too strong off the puck. Haven’t sniffed the splash yet.
My first Stirling bath soap (Naked & Smooth) lasted less than a month. Now I'm using the "Facial" bar soap in the shower, but lathering it with a pouf instead of directly on my body and it seems to be lasting longer

Naked&Smooth has received its second nomination for a Tony(once last year, too), both as a shave soap.
Is tougher than it sounds. I originally wanted to get down to 10 but that was impossible. The good about it is that 15 gives a good variety and I'm only using my absolute favorites. The bad is that I had to set aside a bunch of great stuff. The worst part is if I want to add a scent I must get rid of a scent. There's a scent dropping Saturday I really want but I can't figure out what to get rid of so I may have to pass....first world problems
I can get a month out of a full size bath soap in the shower. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
I just ordered a set of the Blu yesterday. The refill puck, and splash ought to be here within the week. I'm really looking forward to trying it. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
As I wrote in another thread, the Frost Drops came out in excess this morning, but my fault....I didn't squeeze the top, just took it off and squeezed.

My Stirling order came in today. I'm really impressed with scent of the EDT, it's smells very close to Polo Blue, it's fresh and you can really smell the cucumber and melon. I'm just sprayed it on so I haven't gotten to the heart yet but so far I really like it. The scent off the puck is light but I have no doubt it will open up upon lathering. We're going to top 106 today so I'm excited about the MITA bath soaps. The freebie bar of Deep Blue Sea also smells great. This box just makes me happy.
The Sharp Dressed Man sample hand-wash is beginning to crack. Think I'll go with the full-sized Mentha-Scrub next.....anything to avoid heat, given what sent me to the hospital. Heat in the summer, I should say. I betcha that first hand-wash with the Mentha-scrub will blow me away!! Well, GOOD.

I'm bringing the Frost Drops back out for tomorrow...this time I hope do it better than yesterday. No more Niagra Falls. Looked over my Den yesterday-it's getting pretty crowded in there. One more purchases this year, two next year(the first of which will be the Stoylin Tony champion)and I do think I'll be set for a NB 2021. This coming from a man who has learned to appreciate the art of mindfulness(living in the moment), lol.
And now an update-it's all set for use....that is a COLD soap-kinda mint fresh. Now I won't have to worry about not using any menthol each Menthol Monday-just washing my hands will suffice(chuk yuk yuk).
