Thank you very much!!! Yes, Gentleman is by far my favorite Stirling scent. I out menthol crystals in the AS, lol!I'm a menth-head hehe! The under the nose technique can be tricky, specially if you have a razor with a larger head. What Razor do you use? The Karve is a razor made in Canada that has various plates available for different levels of aggression. Really popular razor and is VERY well built.
Putting the Unscented A.S. to work tomorrow. (It ain't exactly Sandpiper, but it's a good one to have around).
Thursday 11th April Cold Water Shave La Toja Magno Soap Vitos Preshave Stirling Executive Man Soap Vie-Long/AP Shave Cashmere Brush Valet Autostrop VC1 with a GEM SS PTFE Blade Witch Hazel Dove Moisturiser Florida Water Perfume Parlour Aventus PO 3 Passes for a perfect shave. We are off to Cardiff this afternoon for a bit of 'pomp and ceremony'. One of our friends has been appointed High Sheriff of an adjacent County and we unexpectedly received an invitation to the Inauguration and Reception. I should remain stubble free well into the early hours!
The Unscented aftershave serves its purpose well.....used it to follow the Lumberjack soap this morning, and it's a Lumberjack scent with the strength of the Stoylin splash . Worx 4 me.
Before Stirling comes out with their listing of Spring 2019 Releases, and I go on an acquisition rampage, I thought I'd show what I have already have, from Stirling in aftershaves. I am addicted! The photos did not come out as well as I hoped. What I have in 100ml bottles, is Haverford, Arkadia, Glastonbury, Barber Shop, Agar, Sandpiper & Stirling Gentleman. In 2oz bottles, I have Haverford, Black Pepper Lime, D-503, Stirling One & Kaboom. I also have an extra 2oz bottle, of both Kaboom & Black Pepper Lime
My Stirling Ozark Mountain and Arkadia EDT's arrived today along with a Timeless Razor Pineapple handle. I'll be using the Arkadia tonight along with the Timeless handle and my new Truefitt and Hill Apsley set.
I’m using a Merkur 34c currently. I bought an “aggressive head” razor from Stirling, but I have yet to try it.
I received them yesterday and immediately sprayed on 2 squirts of the Ozark Mountain. When I went to bed 6 hours later I could still smell it. This morning I sprayed on the Arkadia and could barely tell it was there. It took 4 squirts to even smell it and it was very light at that. Now, 4 hours later, I don't smell it at all. Now, I've read some reviews on the Arkadia aftershave that say it's a lighter scent than what is typically done by Stirling but I had hoped the EDT would be stronger. I'm very happy with the Ozark Mountain but disappointed in the Arkadia's sillage and projection, the scent when it's there is fantastic.
Your full bottle lineup is as impressive as my sample bottle line up! My wife might kill me with that many full bottles! But I’m willing to test that theory. Lol.
I think you should ask Rod about the Arkadiy. EDT needs to last most of the day. At least most of the work day, so a solid 6 hours minimum IMO. YMMV!
New scents and new bottles! @Primotenore you were looking for a new fougere! Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
