Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze: A wonderful new soap in my Den! Quick shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/new Wilkinson Sword Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS Prep ASB Fine Snake Bite AS Splash Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick Bleu de Chanel Parfum Yesterday I received this Glacial Iceberg Island along with some other Stirling goodies so I decided to give it a spin and it’s absolutely WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!! It’s a tallow based beauty like all of Rod’s soaps with a lovely scent that I find a bit difficult to describe, the lather explodes off my brush - it gets so thick, rich, creamy, super Stirling slick, the menthol sensation is mega potent, and the postshave feeling is so comfortable. The Prep delivered lots of extra soothing skincare, and the Snake Bite aftershave froze me to smithereens. Finally the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I was good to go. Another tip top BBS shave that I enjoyed with my Canadian Tech and a brand new Wilkinson Sword blade! Have a great day - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Friday morning’s Grand Freeze: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 2 Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS Bundubeard Stoffel ASB MSC Citrus Melody AS Splash Fantastic stuff from three dear brothers of mine - the Glacial Mango Sunrise soap is a TREASURE. Do I ever LOVE the scent which is tropical with creamy notes, it gives brilliant lather that’s so slick, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is like from of ALL of Rod’s soaps - numero uno. Jaco’s Stoffel balm is so moisturizing as well as soothing, it has a ton of menthol in it, and its peppermint scent is lovely. Finally what can I say, Fernando’s Citrus Melody aftershave went on frigidly cold with no sting or burn because it’s witch hazel based and the scent is heavenly. This Canadian Tech is an awesome razor - it helped me get a dynamite three pass BBS shave that was so much fun! Have a great weekend - be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 4 Stirling Glacial Cedar SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash This Glacial Cedar soap and aftershave were belated birthday gifts from one of my best friends and do I ever LOVE them. The scent is absolutely MAGNIFICENT and when I say MAGNIFICENT I mean MAGNIFICENT. Along with the cedar I seem to detect a trace of lemon - the soap is such a pleasure to lather, the slickness is so awesome, the menthol sensation is………WICKED, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer gave me lots of additional chilling love, and the Glacial Cedar aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its delightful scent that my wife also loves.

Menthol Monday: A gorgeously scented Grand Freeze! L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 5 Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS Prep ASB Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash What a delightful soap and aftershave this Glacial Frozen Tuxedo are - they’re renamed after originally being called Eskimo Tuxedo because of some controversy that unfairly targeted Rod. The scent is absolutely BEAUTIFUL - it’s Green Irish Tweed all the way or Sharp Dressed Man but with killer cold menthol. I had so much joy lathering up the soap and the slickness had my razor skating across my face. The Prep felt so moisturizing as well as soothing and the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave gave me its frigid menthol kick along with its heavenly scent. Another dynamite three pass BBS shave to start off the week - it was such a pleasure! Be well and stay safe - see you tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It felt like heaven to catch the beautiful scent of the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap while I was lathering up and to feel the bone chillingly cold menthol sensation. The Gold Bond moisturizer works so well as a balm and it gives a very good menthol feeling. Last but not least the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave went on icy cold with almost no stinging and its scent has great staying power. Smooth as silk from three passes - another brilliant shave! Ta ta for now - see y’all tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Stoffel balm from Bundubeard has a nice peppermint scent, it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing, and it gives a STRONG menthol effect. The Citrus Melody aftershave is an awesome creation from my brother Fernando in Johannesburg, South Africa and it smells amazing not to mention how frigid it is.

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 3 Stirling Glacial Cedar SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash My second outing with this new Glacial scent and I absolutely freaking LOVE it - is it ever BRILLIANT. Along with the cedar I think I detect a slight lemony note, the soap lathers wonderfully with the signature Stirling slickness, the menthol sensation can freeze a polar bear’s ass off, but the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable - like ALL of Rod’s soaps. The Gold Bond moisturizer has no shortage of menthol either and it’s great for sensitive skin. Finally the lovely scent of the Glacial Cedar aftershave along with its bone chilling menthol kick and the job was completed. What a delightful three pass BBS shave this was with my Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword combo! Have a good day - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Boy did I have a major find in my den this morning-I found the other Stoylin Glacial soap I had stashed in the back. Almost full. I did need another one very soon otherwise. It's the Lemon Chill. Awwwright .
Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: Quick shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 10 Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash Of all the newer Glacial soaps and aftershaves I think that the Iceberg Island is my favourite scent - wow, is it beautiful. It’s a carbon copy of the Creed Virgin Island Water and Island Man from Stirling except that this stuff is chock full of frigid menthol. I had so much fun working up a great lather with my awesome Yaqi synthetic brush, my face was frozen almost instantly - damn, is this stuff ever COLD, and the skincare is typically Stirling perfection. The Gold Bond moisturizer felt so nice as well as chillingly soothing, and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave went on with its gorgeous scent which my wife and I both love along with its major menthol kick. With the help of my Canadian Tech I had such a most delightful three pass BBS shave - gee, these Wilkinson Sword blades are fantastic! Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!

I'm glad you say it dupes a Creed....never heard of that particular Creed before. I think I'll get thet Iceberg. And now I just ordered it(along with a Liquid Bodywash).
Wednesday morning: Quick shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 14 Stirling Electric Sheep SS Proraso Blue ASB Stirling Island Man AS Splash What can I say - this Electric Sheep is so awesome. The scent to me is beautiful, its mutton tallow formula promotes such fantastic lather that’s so slick, and it has a very soothing sensation both during and after a shave. The Proraso Blue balm leaves my skin feeling so moisturized and comfortable while the Island Man aftershave smells so gorgeous - if that’s what Creed Virgin Island Water smells like then it’s wowwwwww. What a super super three pass BBS shave this was - the Wilkinson Sword blade earned its retirement after two weeks of diligent service. Wishing everyone a great day - see you all tomorrow.

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/new 7 AM Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash These new Glacial soaps are all FABULOUS - all of them. The Mango Sunrise’s scent is lovely - along with the mango I detect some other notes such as papaya, coconut as well as a bit of musk. It lathers so beautifully, it’s loaded with frigidly cold menthol, and it has the typically great Stirling postshave care. The Gold Bond moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Northern Elixir aftershave from Noble Otter has a mild scent of peppermint and eucalyptus with a strong menthol kick. These 7 AM blades seem to be sort of inconsistent in terms of quality - some of them are excellent and others are crummy. This new one helped me get a most enjoyable three pass BBS shave so no complaints whatsoever. Have a good day - be well and stay safe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sunday morning: Lukewarm shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 11 Stirling Sharp Dressed Man SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Island Man AS Splash This Sharp Dressed Man soap is such a precious soap - in my honest and humble opinion it’s one of Rod’s BEST. Do I ever LOVE the scent, it’s such a pleasure to lather, there’s so much slickness to it, and it’s so skin friendly. The Gold Bond moisturizer gave me lots of additional soothing as well as a nice cooling effect on my skin, and the Island Man aftershave smells delightful - my wife loves it on me. Another perfect three pass BBS shave that was so easy peasy and enjoyable! Have a great Sunday - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Menthol Monday: What a Grand Freeze this was! Lukewarm shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/7 AM day 12 Stirling Glacial Citron SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash Did I ever freeze my face off this morning - this Glacial Citron soap and aftershave are the cat’s meow - the scent is so beautiful as well as refreshing and invigorating. The soap provided tons of thick, rich, super slick lather with plenty of cushion, the menthol sensation felt killer cold, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Glacial Citron aftershave were a perfect finishing combination. Man oh man what a cracking good three pass BBS shave this was and I enjoyed it to the max!

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: Lukewarm shower Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/Derby day 3 Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash Not only am I smooth as a baby’s little tukhis, do I ever smell gorgeous as well as sexy - the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo soap and aftershave are two of Rod and Mandy’s finest creations. The soap’s tallow based like all Stirling soaps, the lather is such a pleasure to work with, the menthol sensation is incredible, and the postshave feeling is so comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer is also pleasantly mentholated so soothing while the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave is another menthol atom bomb - ahhhhhh, that scent is a delight just like the matching soap. Another three pass BBS work of art! Enjoy your weekend - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saturday, July 27 Stirling Solidus~~Simpson M7~~Cooper MonoBilt/Sharp Star~~1 Million Lucky Upon returning from a camping trip, this Stirling soap was waiting for me. Rod had sent me a sample of the bath soap and I was really pleased by the scent---a dupe of Paco Rabanne 1 Million Lucky. I had a pre-reformulation bottle of the stank ordered on ebay and the seller failed to disclose that the atomizer was kaput. Nothing but dribbles. I was compelled to decant the juice and all I had was an empty bottle of Royall Bay Rhum. (Getting the bay leaf out of the bottle was a serious PITA) Anyway, it now works, but disappointed that the OG bottle was shot. BTW, outstanding soap.
