Used the electric sheep again this morning, one last time for a while. Sunday will be lemony orange, at last! Not looking forward to the 30 hour trip home, but I'm very, very ready to be home.
I actually love the scent of the Wintergreen. My wife hates it, but that's besides the point. There are perhaps four or five scents I love that she also loves - not more.

I've got this soap too and had the same experience tolerance wise. I'm well past 3 uses on the tub. I absolutely love the smell of the Iced Pineapple but am no longer blown away by the menthol. Next year I may try a Glacial.
I find all of the Stirling soaps amazing for their shave properties. I envision the day when I am exclusively a Stirling user. Got some other soaps to use up first though.
Tonight’s shave was Coconut Lime. I really enjoy the scent, and this is the time to be using it. I’m also trying not to use a menthol soap every day of the week so that I might slow down the desensitization process a little. I’ll never know if it’s helping, but it can’t harm anything.
It’s a warm sunny Saturday, but I have to go to work. That doesn’t mean my face can’t be on a tropical vacation. I did a light-ish application to my face of Glacial Coconut Lime AND Iced Pineapple!
Superb shave overall, but I experienced a strange sensation with the Glacial Spearmint splash. It went on and immediately felt warm, almost a burning feel that wasn't a pleasant burn. Not the burn you expect with an alcohol shave. It felt hot. Pretty uncomfortable. Then the glacial aspect kicked in and it cooled off, but that initial warm feeling was strange. Never had that happen before. This was the first use of this aftershave. That happen to anyone else? Could it be the essential oils in this one? I've never had ANY problem with any other Stirling splash. I'll try it again to see if this was a fluke.
This morning I grabbed Stirling Lime, which I have not used in quite a while. Excellent shave and the scent is really enjoyable. Will probably use it for the next few days. Only downside is the scent seems to faded a bit over time. Finished with Stirling Lime AS which is excellent.
