In praise of Stirling Soaps...

update-forget the fall....it should be here today!!

 

I have Lemongrass Liquid Hand soap-nice fragrance, all right.

 

Just got my order of Stirling Gentleman Soap and Stirling Gentleman Aftershave Splash W/ Menthol this morning and @ezlovan and Mandy knocked this one not out the park but out of this world in my opinion. Great scent that the Wife cant get enough of (extra brownie points) and she has already asked me about 5 times if this is going to be a permanent spot on your site or if it is only seasonal. She already said no matter what it is I better not ever run out and I will make sure I don't as it is that good. Same great lather that is common with all Stirling Soaps I have tried: Easy to lather, Protective, Slick, Outstanding Cushion and a great scent! The aftershave does a great job of finishing off a perfect shave and the skin care is second to none. This soap has easily bumped itself up into the top 3 soaps in my rotation and I don't see it going lower anytime soon (or ever for that matter).

 

I am glad you agree!! FYI-I did have Rod add menthol to my Gentleman AS and it is now "perfect" for me!!

 

I'm going to have to try my sample now, hopefully my wife has the same reaction and asked me to get a full tub.

 

I enjoyed the Glacial Wintergreen soap this morning and for tomorrow it's going to be the Glacial Obsidian one. Both are equally frigid and delightful.

 

I just received my Stirling order...so happy! Barbershop AS and 2 Barbershop bath soaps. @ezlovan tossed in a sample Grapefruit bath soap, too

 

Have you used them yet? What do you think?

 

I had to check Stirling out after seeing them recommended so much and I was really impressed. They have a huge variety of great products at prices that don't break the bank. I ordered some aftershave samples and I was really impressed with Executive Man and with Coniferous. I'd rate them both 10/10. They were nice enough to include a free soap sample with my order, as well as a handwritten thank you note to me for ordering. I can't wait to test out more of their scents. It has been a real pleasure to interact with everyone in the wet shaving community, from these forums to the small businesses and otherwise.

 

Not yet-I think I'll do the "test drive" later this week. I'll say this for now though-it's a powerful scent(as I presume all Stirlings are). But that is good to reinforce the "a little goes a long way" message.

 

Thanks for the plug on Coniferous....I think I'll try that one next(either alone or with another). But Rod really fills up that 100 ml. bottle-could be a while to finish these babies off.

 

wow! Pretty impressive sink area.

 

The problem is...it's a good news/bad news type of thing.

The good news is that all of their products are fantastic. The bad news is you have to pick and choose what you can afford.

Ive said it before, but I would literally buy every single product they have if i could afford it.

 

This is the dilemma that I've faced since I was introduced to traditional wet shaving. I recently went on a soap binge and I went way over budget. There are still so many products that I want to try from other artisans as well but I'm trying to be realistic about my finances now. I agree in that I would definitely buy all of their products if I could, and the same applies to a few other artisans as well. So many choices, so little time.

 

Is this the Tobacco scented soap of all time?


@ezlovan

 

Another Stirling order is on its way. This time I got mentholated Barbershop aftershave, a full tub of Ozark Mountain shave soap and a sample of Glacial Obsidian. The Barbershop is my favorite scent and I'm looking forward to having it as an AS.

 

What! ??? No Stirling Gentleman sample in this order? How dare you man!

 

Already got it

 

I have the Barbershop AS now, plus two B-shop bath soaps. I bet I finish the soaps long before the AS.
