    Glacial Lemony Orange was the ticket for a great menthol Monday shave. Really fine all around.

    Awesome shave, Perry!

    I went with the Glacial Wintergreen soap, balm, and witch hazel as well as the Arctique aftershave splash. Did I ever freeze! ;)

    Thanks, Jeff! Does the wintergreen have a little burn for you, or a warming feeling before the menthol kicks in? I had that sensation the first (and only) time I used the aftershave splash. I need to try it again to see if it was an aberration.

    No, not in the least. It feels great from the get-go! :)

    Since this thread is dedicated to all things Stirling, have any of you tried the lip balm. I bought a stick in the winter and thought that it was great. The kids love it too and it has even helped at the shore this summer. Stirling just doesn't make any bad products.

    I think it’s great balm, (haven’t tried it for a couple of years), b7t they seemed less tolerant to heat than others I use.

    You should give the soaps a try in the shower. I find they work better than body washes.

    Tried one, and never looked back.

    Here's the problem-I have one of those large sponge thingies, and I found I had trouble working the blocks of soap onto the sponge. Perhaps they(the sponges)were made for bodywashes, where you can just pour the liquid onto it.

    I've never used a bath sponge. How long can you use them? Do you have to worry about bacteria like kitchen sponges?

    Are you talking about those plastic squinchy things? You can just rub them over the soap. They would help build the lather just like when used with a body wash.

    Good idea....to let the sponge rag attack the soap.

    The shave den has to buy more Stirling products than any other forum. Easily.

    Me either. But I imagine you could take care of it the same way. 60 seconds in the microwave will kill anything that takes up residence in it.

    why not just use a wash cloth. After one use, put it in the wash...

    Everyone here loves their soaps. The only slight issue I have with them is that they get used a bit faster than a milled product. Even with the shorter lifespan, they are well worth the results! My daughter loves them so much, they get put on Christmas and birthday lists... and she is only 11!

    I love them but i agree they get used up quicker than milled soaps.
