Ehhh LADIES and uh GENTLEMEN: The selected date for the next Stoylin Tony Awards Nominations day will be August 26. Yeah, I know....a long wait, but I wanted to do it on a special event day. Being the animal-lover I am, that date is National Dog Day. August is a quiet month for special event dates. Anyway....see ya on August 26!
Yeah, it was a bummer, but as you say - YMMV! Fortunately Stirling makes more than enough scents, so we can all find the ones that work for us! I think Gentleman is quickly becoming a favorite out of my order of samples (alongside Executive Man, Mountain Man, Sharp Dressed Man, and Sandpiper!). I have to say though, I don't smell dill of any sort from Gentleman... Either way, I'm glad you ended up enjoying Gentleman while it lasted!
This evening was my second go round with Executive Man, and it was a smashing success once again! I gave the lather one more addition of water than I normally would have, and I was rewarded with a beautifully slick shave shave with more than enough protection. The scent was amazing, and my wife even commented that the bathroom smelled really nice. Post shave was wonderful, I almost forgot to put a balm on because my face felt like I already had! Anyhow, just an all around stellar shave. Razor: Karve CB (B plate SB) Blade: Astra SP Soap: Stirling Executive Man Brush: Paragon 28mm Plisson w/ Paragon handle EDIT to add gear list
Just received my Stirling Black Cherry after shave today. Already had the soap but kept forgetting or avoiding buying the after shave. I have so many that I was practicing restraint. Well, that didnt work out too long lol. The soap scent is wonderful and fun to me, and I love it. So I finally ordered and got the after shave. Wow! This stuff is not shy with the black cherry scent, and out of the bottle is a blast! I havent actually used it yet, but man Im glad I finally went for it. It could become one of my 2 favorite after shave scents I have. Yum!

YES!!!!! Gentleman and Veran are ties for my absolute favorite Stirling scents. Not sure how she gets dill outta that though ahaha
Awesome shave--love that Karve! The cool thing about Stirling is it's a pretty forgiving soap; you can really push the envelope with the water. And I do
I know, right!?! BTW, my sister gave me a bar of the Veran bath soap. She likes masculine scents, but that one was too much for her. Score for me--I love it
She originally purchased the Veran for herself. It would be great if the same thing happened with Aqua Velva--I killed mine off last week
Well, tonight was yet another stellar Stirling shave! This time it was with Sandpiper, and I have to say that I am really growing to enjoy this scent more and more. This shave was with a brand new blade, which can make for a slightly rougher shave at times, but it was smooth sailing through and through! Also, I once again hydrated my lather beyond my normal level and was impressed by just how much water Stirling can take - not every soap can handle this much water, but it results in such a slick shave! All in all, this has to be one of my favorite shaves thus far, and that is saying something! Karve CB (B-SB) Astra SP (1) Stirling Sandpiper Paragon Plisson 28mm
It's been my favorite Stoylin ever since the sample Sandpiper jumped out at me compared to the other 3 in that set.
