I'm planning to purchase a few soaps from Stirling. If I purchase full pucks I will only be able to afford about 3 of them. If I purchase samples I can get a much larger variety. On the website the samples are listed as about 2 oz. Since a lot of soaps come in a 2.5 oz size, that sounds quite generous to me. Has anyone purchased their samples and can you tell me how long one of them lasts? It seems to me it might be smart to purchase a bunch of samples first, find out which ones I really, really like, before I make full puck purchases. Your thoughts and experiences are much appreciated.
Both samples and full pucks are big. Nothing wrong with buying samples to figure what you like, everyone uses product different. Try margaritas in the Arctic. And coconut. Great summertime soaps.
They sent me a free sample size puck when I purchased two full sized ones and it looks plenty big enough for deciding whether you like it or not. I reckon there's got to be a good couple of months worth of shaving in it. I got Nag Champa and Tea Tree and I like the Nag Champa the best out of these two.
I'd get the samples. You just might not like it... I definitely recommend getting the full bath soaps though.
I'm thinking Spice Sharp Dressed Man Sandalwood Ozark Mountain Margarittas in the Arctic Lemony Orange Lavender Sage Bonaparte Ben Franklin Barbershop
If you enjoy strong menthol, try the Glacial soaps, (available in 4 variants) or the MITA, or the Black Ice. You'll be happy you did.
First off I am a new guy. For my first soaps I got 4 Stirling samples in my Wet Shave Club box. The first one has last me a little over a week. But that was with a few practice lathers just to get the hang of it, along with shaving everyday. The soaps are awesome though!
I know I really like sandalwood, sharp dressed man, bay rum and glacial wintergreen(even though it froze my face off) .. and I have only tried 4 samples out of the 10 I have. Soo, my point is Rod makes really good soap and really great scents. I was thinking of trying 10 samples and then buy 3 full pucks, and is looks like I'm gonna buy 10 full size pucks
Just received my Stirling samples. Now I need to figure out which one starts my evening shave. Recommendations are welcome. Black Ice,Spice,MITA,Lavender Sage,Ozark Mtn,SDM,Ben Franklin,Sandalwood, Clubman.
