Stirling Soap in Stirling Spice scent. This soap loves water and for me performs better when loading with a wet brush. Copious lather. Low, creamy structure and easy to get that shine that signifies slickness. Scent is a dupe of Old Spice, or should I say a nod to Old Spice. It doesn't smell much like Old Spice to me but it certainly is in that family. The scent is wonderful and plentiful (8/10) by the way. The other day I read someone opine that Stirling was a "good middle of the road" soap. To me, Stirling is a top performer and if I was forced to only use Stirling I would not feel hindered in the least. sure, donkey milk, duck fat, and a litany of other flavor-of-the-day ingredients work well in a soap but it has been a really long time since I've seen a new soap that blew the competition out of the water. What I generally see is the price ever-increasing on new offerings and no discernible improvements compared to old standbys. Stirling is a very solid soap base and with as many flavors as they offer anyone can find a few they enjoy.
