    When you say "nothing like Old Spice", are you referring to the Old Spice of today(which I call New Spice), or the Shulton? Reviewers at the Stoylin website, many that is, sense a Shulton clone.

    That's my challenge with balms-well, the Rise Cooling is the only one I have at this point. Sometimes I let too much come out, other times it's "dime-size". I need to figure that the smaller(amount)the better, as it's always been advertised about Rise shaving creams that you can get by without an aftershaves.

    I haven't smelled Shulton OS in ages, so I'm not going to say Stirling Spice is a clone. What I will say is it has the spice part of the new OS without that artificial sweet scent. It's a very nice classic type of scent.

    I'm all set to freeze tomorrow. I'll be using the Glacial Spearmint soap, balm, and the Arctique!

    I bought a soap sample of Stirling Noir several months ago and used it a day or two after I received it. The scent was very weak so I ended up tossing it. I'm just wondering if the scent has since been strengthened. Can anyone comment on that? Thanks!

    I can’t specifically comment on the Noir, so probably not the answer your were looking for, but I can say that I have read a LOT of comments from people who have weak scented samples of soaps that I know are pretty powerful scent wise. I think that maybe the Biolifin (or whatever the Hell its name is) plastic wrap breathes?? I know it is biodegradable.

    You said you used it right away, but maybe it had been on his shelf a long time? I don’t know how hot a seller that one is.

    Even though I still speak with a strong Israeli accent (which doesn't want to go away) I still recognize a Brooklyn accent and also a Boston one. :)

    I have neither......moved around too much to get a Boston one(I was born there and spent the first 7 years of my life in the area-many kids younger than that and living here talk that way).

    I speak French like a Parisian, Hebrew like an Israeli, Arabic like an Arab from seven different countries, Russian like a Russian, German like a German, Greek like a Greek, Swahili with a Rwandan accent according to my Tanzanian friends, but my pronunciation in English is not great.
