    I'm going to have to put a sample of this on my next order. How does it compare to the Mitchell's Woolfat Shaving Soap?.

    I love The Fat, but haven’t tried Elevtric Sheep yet, so I can’t compare the two. I did try Scots Pine Sheep in a soap sample once. Really loved it. Wonderful, slick, and nourishing lather. Upon reflection it was the Scots Pine was similar in feel to The Fat.

    One of these days I need to try Electric Sheep.

    Didn’t you have a sample of it, and you covered it with haz mat stickers and sent it to me cause the smell was so strong?

    Stirling is much easier to lather in my opinion. Similar post shave feel between them.

    Yep! But it was a sample of the bath soap. You could smell it through the box. I had some things ready to send to you anyway, so that sample made it move quickly to Minnesota!

    I’m thinking this one is sort of like The Veg, and it hasn’t chosen you.

    I recieved my sample pack from Rod and the gang at Stirling yesterday and I'm really looking forward to using it. Here's what I got.

    Bay Rum SS -2
    Sandalwood SS -2
    Stirling Spice SS -2

    Aftershave Sampler 4-pack.
    Bay Rum
    Sandpiper
    Sandalwood
    Stirling Spice

    To top it off I also recieved a generous sample of the Barbershop Bath Soap, and a very nice thank you for my order. It just doesn't get any better than that. So in honor of my Father on Father's Day I am going to repeat my shave from yesterday tonight now that my Stirling Spice has been replenished. My Dad really liked Old Spice.

    The Glacial Spearmint bath soap felt like heaven this morning and so did the Glacial Black Cherry while I was shaving!

    Question for the group; in some photos and online the aftershave splash is featured in the dark brown i believe plastic bottle, however in other photos like the one above it appears to be in a nicer glass clear bottle. Why the difference?

    The dark brown bottle is the older style, and it is glass. The clear bottle is newish and was introduced with the spring release.

    There may have been supply issues. I like the clear flask type better. Hope they stay with it.

    Today was cold, cloudy, and wet in places. Definitely NOT June weather around here. Tonight's shave didn't warrant any menthol, but I didn't want to dig out my fall/winter scents, so Sandpiper seemed like a logical choice.

    I broke in my new Chubby 2 Synthetic that I received for Father's Day, and built plenty of lather for a three pass shave with my Game Changer. Even though I'm only watching TV before bed, I couldn't stop myself from using a little Glacial Sandpiper AS too. Talk about all dressed up with nowhere to go. :D

    It’s just “generational” changes. The new clear flasks are (I believe) the fifth different bottle, in either color or design.

    *Edit - I looked at an old photo, and I was mistaken. The clear flask is the fourth bottle I know of. The brown medicine bottle has had two series of labels. The round ones came in brown and green glass.
