Reveived some Stirling Barbershop after shave with Menthol last night from @johnnyflake. First menthol anything I have ever used. Tried it this morning after a great Stirling Barbershop shave. WOW! I like! Thought the AS might be too much buy no. Thought I'd share. tp
I used my Stirling Lime with Menthol this morning and it is some awesome stuff. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
Thank you Brit. I consider myself a soap guy but I gotta say the Trumpers Almond SC really gives some good skin protection, and razor slip. My skin feels moisturized after my shave too. The Phoenix Green Ray Synthetic brush sure can whip up a nice whip cream type lather in my plastic salsa bowl. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk

A co-worker of mine-a female-wore Red Door Cologne at work. This was in the late 1980's. No one criticized her. Certainly I didn't. Smelled real nice. It never occurred to me then that there would be any "scents"itivity to a co-workers cologne or aftershave. Call me old-school, but I just don't see the problem.
Yeah, Ladies and Gentlemen: The rumor I've been talkinabout regarding a delivery of Stoylin products is in fact now a FACT. My den is jamming up now, such that I may have to store some items in my BEDROOM, alongside my Coast Deodorant Soaps. Yet the 2020 Stoylin Tony Awards will still go on . The winning combo may have to end up in the bedroom. Here's what I received: Baker Street(Soap&A.S.) Ramblin Man (Soap&A.S.) Sharp Dressed Man (4.5 oz soap&full A.S.) \
But see, what confuses me is...did people JUST BEGIN to feel that way recently? It seems general work productivity was successful in the years when various aftershaves were first developed. (I can';t prove this because I wasn't available to..having not yet been born). But I was never aware of this being an issue until not long ago.
The difference is back then the would-be female coworkers were barefoot, pregnant and chained to my stove... ok I'll stop now. Back on topic: mini reviews of the Stirling scents I've tried (mostly via 5ml AS samples so the full sizes and soaps could vary) Love -Sandpiper: Hard to describe but a very pleasant and masculine scent. I haven't smelled the fragrance it's based off to compare. My favourite right now. -Executive Man: Versatile and excellent, best of the Aventus copies out there. Pineapple without being sweet smelling. I can notice it all day. -Orange Chill: I'm not a menthol freak like some people out there but I don't mind it. Smells exactly like your fingernails after peeling a juicy orange, I love it, not artificial at all Nice but not likely to buy again -Tea tree: Well it ain't cologne. I like to use it when I shave at night, or mix it 50-50 with Nivea Balm, for the extra healing properties. Smell is ok but I usually prefer more complex -Sharp Dressed Man: Fresh clean scent that isn't really my style. Haven't worn Creed GIT and can't compare. -Arkadia: I get way more grapefruit than orange. I hate grapefruit. -Deep Blue Sea: I smell grapefruit in the top notes which I don't like. I found it dries down very pleasant though. -Dunshire: Very light and summery. I'd like a bit of darkness to anchor it Want to try next Noir Blu Lime edited a bit
Just did an inventory of my soaps. Stirling is my most purchased brand coming in with 21 full size soaps in my den. So a third of my entire soap inventory is Stirling. Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
That's my one problem with Hipster.....as I've mentioned in previous posts, I take medication for epilepsy. The seizures are well controlled now, but I still need the "drugs". Anyway, grapefruit is supposedly bad for those with seizure histories. The question I need to solve is...how is it when administered on skin?
