I’ve been trying to find the super cold version of Margaritas in the Arctic, but no joy yet.View attachment 65607
I’m something of a Stirling fan these days. The scents are great but more importantly, when paired with my Yaqi Brush and Giles bowl, they seem to lather more effortlessly than anything else I’ve tried.
Right now my gotos are Glacial Satsuma when I need that refreshing chill, and Haverford when it’s a little colder.
My wife despairs of those wee green tubs taking over our cramped bathroom cabinet.
Wait until she sees the 1300 GSB blades in a hario tub in my bottom drawer.
I have only Gentleman and the matching AS... The soap is great, the scent although distinctive and classy, especially in the AS is a bit overwhelming, especially for my wife... Are all the scents so powerful and persistent?
...provided that the male hormones are not wiped off...Not all, which is usually told in their descriptions, but if in doubt send them an e-mail as he is as honest as the day is long and will reply.
On the other hand, a strong masculine scent may attract young beautiful women, so don't be hasty.
I discovered this also quite by accident.Stirling is a very good soap, BUT it becomes a great soap when you load it with water right up to the breaking point. This is an interesting characteristic for many great tallow soaps, i.e., hydrophilic. I often wonder if some pass on some soaps for lack of proper hydration.
@mrasparini , Shaving Time in the UK have the samples for £4.50 each, and you're right - I found them the right size for a good few shaves without the commitment to full jars. They ship to EU too.2 questions:
1) where do you get the small pucks from? In mainland EU I only find the full size jar, which is a lot... or too much if you get tired of the scent?
2) what would you suggest to try after Stirling Gentleman to remain in that kind of scent type? I don't have a lot ox experience, but I like classic lavender after shaves (Atkinsons English lavender) or Old Spice... I am not for the too exotic. I also have Alvarez Gomez which I like a lot...
Thanks for your suggestions!
