I agree with you on Sharp Dressed Man ,truly amazing scent. I like Sandpiper but I will warn you that in my experience it is a very "hit or miss" scent out in public. People seem to either love it or hate it. Unfortunately my wife is with the latter group. I have quit giving Sandpiper out to people. I second Baker Street and would also suggest either Stirling Blu or Deep Blue Sea. All three smell wonderful and I have received unsolicited compliments when wearing all of them. I'm not sure what your personal tastes run towards, but you could always order a sample and choose from there. Or better yet...why limit yourself to only 2 more?!? Good luck, no matter what you can't lose with Stirling.
I have Gentleman and while I love it my fiancee does not so it's in the sell pile. I also own MITA and I'm keeping that. I like aquatic scents and my fiance loves them but I already own several and I'm looking for something different. I'm selling off a bunch of stuff and getting it down to 10. I have citrus covered as well as fougeres, Barbershop, Roam, fern and Old Spice type scents also covered and I'm looking to round out the collection. I'm leaning towards getting a couple aftershave samples in to first try and as of now, I'm ordering these
I have EDT samples in Mountain Man, EMP, and Sandpiper. EMP is executive man with extra pineapple. If Rod were to release EMP in a soap and a Splash I would pick them up in a heartbeat! Deep Blue Sea is truly an amazing scent and I will probably add an EdT sample of that and Hipster on my next order. Nior is also very nice. There are too many good scents from Stirling to choose from, Ben!
Great choices all around! Mountain Man and Dunshire are definitely near the top of my list . Looks like you have a real challenge ahead of you.
Ok friends, I recently purchased glacial lemon and have now used it 3 or 4 times and every time I do I find myself loving the glacial feeling more and more. My question to you all is concerning the aftershave. I already get a nice aftershave "burn" feeling when I splash on other Stirling aftershaves that are not glacial, I'm somewhat terrified to think what the glacial aftershave feels like but find myself wondering how the full glacial experience is with aftershave and all. I'm also looking forward to the possibility of other glacials in the springtime like Eskimo Tuxedo if that comes back.
If you're enjoying the glacial soap then go ahead and get the aftershave. It's a wonderful experience! Then top it off with a little glacial balm. In all seriousness, I have Glacial Lemon Chill aftershave and find it to be a wonderful product.
That was with Clubman, but I wouldn't be above experiencing same scene with the Yves St. Laurent pour Homme clone.

Holy guacamole Batman, the Great Stirling Fairy has come to town! Super excited to get this delivery today. These new scents are nice. I'm with Paul about not being too keen on unisex scents but I have to say that Royal smells wonderful in the package at least. I find it very masculine though and my wife and adult daughter agree. Triumph and Hipster (for men) both smell great as well. Hipster has something truly timeless to it just like Baker Street. I'm definitely in for a full tub! Happy shaving all.

SOTD March 6, 2019 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: Schick Razor: PAL Adjustable Brush: JR #142 black badger Soap: Stirling Green Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Green aftershave Wonderful shave with Stirling Green this morning. Really like this scent. The lather was the expected greatness you get from Stirling and the splashes are always nice. Can't go wrong with any of Rod's products!
Inspired by @madmedic to take a short break from my straights and brush the dust off my Focus R48 to go for a spin. If I could pull the shave moves like that off with a straight, I believe I could also castrate flies in mid-air. This is the only razor I use that I ALWAYS 'chase the baby'. Since I don't have any Williams, I am forced to proclaim this PiacenzDay Wednesday. Piacenza (inspiration Parma) ranks high on the MaxHeadroom list of Most Glorious Stanks. I could do this every day even though I'm a closet Brutfan. I suspect that Rod discontinued his deodorant line because people found the product more viscous than conventional deodorant sticks. I found that if preceded by a couple of sprays of isopropyl alcohol it glides right on. I wish I'd have bought up a bunch, it is the most effective deodorant I've ever used. Be well!
