On a whim I tried Stirling Almond Creme the other day just to clean up a brush before it’s initial use.  I was really impressed with the lather!

I have four tubs of Stirling soaps that I just have not used since really dialing into Sebum Soaps, Long Rifle Soap Co, Eufros, and Santa Maria Novella Crema De Barba.  That’s a shame, because Stirling really holds its own!  After re-using it the other day and tonight it’s firmly one of my favorites!

Tonight I used Baker Street, and it was beautiful...hit on all cylinders for me!  So if you are looking for an inexpensive, but high quality soap...Stirling Almond, Iced Pineapple, Executive Man, and Baker Street...all worth a look!

Ols, beautiful lather.. I'm gonna put in an order for Haverford and get my lady into wet shaving with Evie.. it's been about 3 yrs since I've had any Stirling soaps but this definitely solidified the need for it.

Thanks!  Yes...I think Stirling beats out some of my favorite vintage soaps like old spice, RL Safari, and AOS tallow based sandalwood.

I love the containers. And the labels are easy to read. My Margarita in the Arctic is top notch. My next Will be sand piper or Ben Franklin. ( old man pants). Hahahaa

I got a sample of the aftershave balm with one of my orders recently and really liked the scent so I got a sample bottle of the edt. It seemed to be a little too floral for my tastes in that case. Interesting how that works!

Yes...interesting, must be a consistency thing.  I did not care for Stirling AS Balm.  It seemed a little too thick, and was not easily absorbed into my skin.  However, the next chap may find it absorbs easily into his skin!

I took a test drive with a sample of Baker Street the other day and was very pleasantly surprised. The scent was very nice and the performance was the usual sterling Stirling.

Bahahahahahah John!  The last two lathers I had with Stirling were pretty top tier!  I still enjoy my vintage every now and again!

I hope that you are well, and staying safe!
