The Stirling Exchange

It is potent. Even more than lemon IMO.

 

Haven't tried Dunshire but I have a dupe of the Frenchy or Italian stuff it's supposed to copy Acqua De Gio I think. That one's my least favorite cologne assigned to bathroom deodorizer duties. I've got the Sandpiper in soap and EDT. It checks every box. LOVE it. That would be my vote as well.

 

Dunshire was one of samples I was not impressed with. I own a bottle of Aqua di gio and its close, but the scent strength of the soap was very mild. May be different if you add the aftershave.

 

Thanks for the quick reply Edison. You know I look up to you as some kind of know-your-scents god

 

I think the aftershave is one of the longer lasting ones. I'm not sure about soap strength.

 

Sold!

 

I got a sample balm of Dunshire in an order once--it was nice, but not nice enough to get me to purchase the soap. Sandpiper on the other hand...

Perhaps someone else can chime in--I have a cedar bias that steers me towards Sandpiper

 

Great idea Edison Carter!!

 

I just ordered the aftershave samples along with a couple others. That should give me a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion Edison Carte.

 

Hell i just got a 4pk of aftershave samples myself. I had to see what all of the Island Man hype was about. It definitely delivers. Also ordered Satsuma, Arkadia, and Glastonbury. All 4 of these are winners as far as aftershaves go. Also scooped up a Ben Franklin post shave balm on sale. I was pleasantly surprised with that scent as well.

 

Thanks anyhow but nope.
Still have to put my pants on one leg at a time.

 

But when he's done, those pants thank him.

 

Talk to me about weak scented soaps. I had a carry over Barbershop soap (actually cream) from WSP that I swear I can't get any smell out of the dern thing, whether from the tin or lathering up. But the buyers over there rave about it. In contrast I also have a carry over Tobacco cream from there that is medium strong and heavenly. So finally getting around to trying out Stirling's tobacco version, Stirling Gentleman, was expecting something pretty strong as well. But have used my sample 3 times now and still barely a scent. It's slightly better than the non-existent scented WSP Barbershop, but nowhere near the strength of WSP Tobacco. Don't mean to stir stuff up, but it surprised me, since tobacco (along with Aventus) are pretty much my fav scents. Is it me, or anybody else get that from Stirling Gentleman. Also want to try Executive Man SS. How strong scented is that?

 

I get a nice Tobacco&Vanilla scent from Gentleman. That's what it was meant for. Xecutive Man has a scent, but I couldn't quite find it satisfying. I mean, it's OK, but I wouldn't call it a favorite.

 

Try haverford. It's like a tobacco vanilla smack to the chops. Long lasting too.

 

Thanks Hal, I'll do that.

 

I have the Haverford and it's very heavy on scent strength... Don't have the splash because I live in Europe.

Are you guys getting any postal delays down in the lower 48? I've got a nice Stirling order sent out March 23rd from Ontario, Canada to Saskatchewan Canada that still hasn't arrived!

 

Ramblin Man for the W! What do I mean. My shave this morning with RM was the absolute highest of rankings-Top of the World Excellent.
