Tommy, we need a video of your process some time. AWESOME lathers !

I copy you brother. Seriously I think we have a very very similar process. I read closely your posts. It is a KY thing. Left Georgetown Sunday. Miss the Bluegrass already

I just ordered some Stirling, super excited to try them out for the first time

Man we look forward to a full report. Which flavor did you get?

Ordered jars of Baker Street, Executive Man, Bay Rum, and Barbershop. I wanted to order Bergamot Lavender and Stirling Spice and a couple others but they were out of stock at WCS when i placed the order, and i figured i've already gone overboard enough here on a brand i've never tried yet. But my gut tells me i will really enjoy it. I watched some youtube videos, it looks like it lathers nicely

Stirling Soaps are a favorite of mine.  I hope you'll enjoy them.  Of the ones you mentioned, I have Baker Street and Bergamot Lavender, both of which I really like.  My current favorite is Gin & Tonic.  It comes in both regular and iced (menthol).  I have the regular.  Good stuff.

You are going to love the base. Load heavy and hydrate slowly - she is thirsty!

Stirling Spice, Haverford and Piacenza are my favorites. Their rendition of Old Soice is the best in the biz IMHO. The paired AFS is fantastic.

That's the way you do it

I'm a huge Old Spice fan, the classic stuff, not the new "swagger" candy smelling junk they sell nowadays. So if Stirling base works out for me, I will absolutely be getting Stirling Spice next.

I find Stirling to make wonderful shave soaps, and as someone who is sensitive to strong scents, I am very grateful that they offer not one but three unscented options! While I found the sheep to smell a little too strongly of mutton, the Naked & Smooth and Beeswax offerings are my two favorite unscented soaps. I hope they continue to produce unscented soaps, even though it is a smaller market.

That is a great line up they have on the unscented. It is freaky nice as one can choose a post shave frag with no clashing. And their quality lather is so good.

OK, soaps arrived! 

Initial impressions from sniffing the jars:

EXECUTIVE MAN:  As expected, pretty good.  Although I may like Fine Platinum better since it is a bit "smokier"
BAKER STREET: Interesting... not sure what I was actually expecting here. 
BARBERSHOP: Smells powdery and... vanilla maybe?  Not bad, but not my favorite.
BAY RUM:  This is my first, and likely last, Bay Rum.  I had a feeling I might not be a "Bay Rum" guy, and it turns out, I'm not!

I shaved with BAKER STREET.  I got a very nice, slick, creamy lather.  Very protective.  Scent is pleasant.  Face feels soft, smooth and moisturized afterwards.  Like a baby's bottom Can't ask for too much more than that!

I will probably trade/sell most or all of these and get myself some Stirling Spice and Bergamot Lavender and maybe one or two others now that I know for sure I like the base.
