Oh OK, thanks Joe. My sister keeps trying to talk me into getting Facebook, but I say "I have TSD.....that's enough" .
you know, I didn’t see this coming, but it could end up being my favorite too! Time, and many more amazing shaves, will tell...
Stirling Soap Company YhtesuoterddaeSllmhmpy adlthSldot 1n2f:3sldor5oS PedgM · A huge thanks to Nico at Barbieri Uniti in Italy. Due to his efforts, the overwhelming majority of shave soaps, aftershaves, and post shave balms made by Stirling are now registered and certified for sale in the European Union and the United Kingdom. Barbieri Uniti will be the sole wholesaler for the EU, as they have borne all the up front costs. We should be able to have Stirling in stores in multiple European countries this Fall. Dave at Shaving Time will be the sole distributor for the United Kingdom, as he has been a loyal friend and business partner for us for years. It took far longer than we'd hoped, but we're all excited to finally be able to have our products certified for sale in the EU. I'll post more information as we get closer to Autumn.
That really is fantastic news, and not just for Stirling--going to be some happy folks in in the EU and UK, too
The email newsletter said it won't be back next year. That doesn't necessarily mean gone forever though.
Thanks for the clarification Robert! Hey, miss your shave reports on the 30 DC. Hope you are doing well.

Thank you very much! It's hopefully going to be big for us. As for the Obsidian, it will eventually return. Just not in 2021.
SOTD June 29, 2020 Prep: Cold water and PAA Cube pre-shave soap Blade: vintage Private Club platinum chrome Razor: Schick L1 Brush: JR #377 badger Soap: Stirling Glacial Lemony Orange Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill aftershave Wonderful shave with this setup. I'm almost out of the Lemon Chill aftershave but will replace it with Glacial Iced Pineapple that's waiting in the den. Love these cold shaves in the hot summer.
Soooo...I had the soap but finally tried the Black Cherry after shave today. This stuff has a cherry scent that is out of this world. And it has the typical Stirling face feel...refreshing, toning and no sticky feel. I can see the debate on whether the scent is "natural" black cherry or just what many products tell us black cherry smells like, but I dont care to take a side lol! This will see some regular use, and I have well over 50 after shave splash scents. It'll be a repurchase. Its fun, its long lasting, its Black Cherry, and its Stirling!

I love the menthol stuff in the summer. Finished off the Lemon Chill aftershave as well.
Just recently bought the iced pineapple balm and liking it a lot, so when I seen the soap samples on offer I got two, black cherry and a (guess)..... pineapple, I don't know why I have gone all fruit flavoured...maybe the better weather, but I also have a club de'nuit intense man AS and it is a decent aventus clone...nice pineapple scent in there too
