Great shave this morning. I'm very happy with my AS choice - it smells fantastic, and so do I. Haven't used a Stirling splash since the company's early days. I found it to be sticky, and blamed the ingredient Hydrovance. This splash is not at all sticky, though it indeed has the same ingredients as before. Perhaps less Hydrovance? I don't know, but it's an excellent splash that seems to have staying power. Looks like I'll be sampling some more Stirling splashes over time.

Good choice on splash! Stirling’s AS are nice and strongly scented, pretty lasting too. Almost could do without a follow up fragrance if you wanted!

That's the kind I prefer. WSP is that way too.

I am really digging this splash. I almost never wear frags due to my wife's asthma, otherwise I'd spring for Acqua di Gio. It is a scent that really agrees with me. Nice finish to a nice shave.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I like its staying power.

Yes, I am. Too bad no one else is around to enjoy it.

And this is post #3,000 for me. Woo-hoo!

ADG is good stuff! At least you’re getting a taste of it!

Yeah, I really like it a lot. I don't know how much it projects after a couple of hours, but I've enjoyed occasional whiffs of it all day.

Warm evening on the patio with hot home roast and a cool little cigar.

This setup is working very well for me. Hard to imagine a more consistent, better shave. And I smell so darned good.

I smell so good I'm keeping the windows closed. I'm not good at sharing. Great shave, great AS.
