    Great shave this morning with BoS. I love the scent of BoS and wrapped in that great Stirling lather. Can't beat it.

    BlueShaver Premature Latheration Sufferer

    Who knows! there is so much to choose from lol.

    The Satsuma has me interested. I have a mandarin Kolonya and i like it very much. I also like the fact that the scents are all aligned across the range, so a orange based set (soap/balm/AS/) would be very nice.

    Ebay is expensive. I see that Sterlings UK retailer has an offer on Satsuma at the moment :drool:

    Lead me not into temptation lol.

    Satsuma Aftershave lasts longer than any other citrus scent I have. Sometimes I think I can pick it up a bit 24 hours later. One of my favs.

    Stirling SE September

    Went to the Island today maan.

    The Blue Ming insisted on going as well. I coulda whipped up a great lather without him, but.. he is my friend.

    Stirling Tuxedo.... Great brush, great value.

    Focus Dynamic R48 1/2 DE Single Edge Razor. Close, easy, comfortable. Chased the baby... easy peasy catch.

    Stirling Island Man AS, little spritz of the EdT too.

    Great shave, great smell.

    Great get, Clayton! I had the Lime for a sample A.S. and liked it.

    Looks great!

    I’ve really come to enjoy Sandpiper when the mood/situation is right. I almost added Lime to my last order, but I was already getting carried away. MITA is one of my favorites, so I’ll probably add lime next time.

    Saturday Stirling Sandpiper Shaving Soap Single edge Shavette September

    One of my favorite shaves

    Typical Super Stirling lather from a just wonderful piece of badger.

    The Focus R21 Evolution with a teflon coated blade is my best shaver. If I didn't love my straights so much, I would be tempted to purge them. Funny that the lead of the window scrapers brigade considers this to be a sissy razor because it has blade corner guards like most original safety razors. It is still a top shaver that one needs to learn to use without getting cut. Now, if only I had the dexterity for those sideways stokes.

    Finished up with the Stirling Sandpiper AS. I forgot what popular men's fragrance this is a dupe of, but it definitely ranks high on the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks.

    Have a great day.

    Sandpipers my alltime favorite when the weather starts cooling down. I went 50/50 with the Lime and the Lemon Chill in my Old Spice Mug and I really like it. I usually follow it with a splash of the Stirling Mentholated Lime Aftershave Splash. It's nice and chilly, great stuff.

    You gotta try the Lime Soap Paul, it's great stuff. Try going 50/50 with the Lemon Chill. It's really nice on hot humid day's.

    I'm headed in that direction for next summer....kind of. I'd like to get a glacial soap and A.S.,,whether it's a mix or the same for both.

    The other day I wrote a post saying it's too early for me to make a claim on which soap I'd buy again. I would say Sandpiper if I had to decide today(oh, and the aftershave too).

    It's a dupe of Yves la Nuit de l'Homme. Very highly ranked in men's colognes.
