ok all i have never tried stirling so tell me some of your favorite scents by them and if the soap is good other than just its scent... thanks...
 
Stirling soaps are all the same performance level which is very good. I have Black Cherry,Orange Chill, Sharp Dressed man, Triumph, Ramblin Man, Satsuma Glacial, Coconut Lime and Stirling One. If it's a scent you like - the soap will be good for you.

I’ve already told you how good I think it is. Here’s my stack of Stirling soap. The two without side labels are Ozark Mountain and Gin & Tonic. I also really want to get Executive man.

My advice is to start with something basic that you know you like the smell of, something one dimensional like maybe lime or peach or something like that, rather than something that has 15 different notes... sometimes it’s hard to tell what those will smell like in person just from reading the notes.
 
I agree with everyone that posted—Stirling is great stuff. The samples are also a super good value. I got 22 (!) uses out of my last one. Easy way to get a lot of scents to try.

Totally forgot about the samples! Yes, buy one soap, and then a bunch of samples of stuff you’re curious about.

You misunderstand..... I was only stating that my opinion had already been given in the matter as an explaination for why I was not answering that part of your question here. Just didn’t want to repeat myself.

sorry it sounded like you were saying why did i post this because you had already answered the question.oops.tenor (1).gif
 
Stirling has geart soap/AS. I have Baker Street, Glastonbury and Triumph. I have samples of Piacenza and Executive Man and will eventually buy the combos.
 
I really like Stirling shave soap. I've used more samples than full tins or pucks as they are a great way to try different scents and they actually last quite awhile.
I have had some slight reactions to a couple of the scents, but they were mild so I finished them off anyway.
Currently have MITA and Nag Champa.
Their glacial soaps are really cold, if you like menthol!
 
I have been using more Stirling soaps lately myself. Just finding some great scents and of course the performance is spectacular!
 
I’m going to admit, Ben Franklin is a scent that is a true no-go in my house. I did of course finish my shampoo bar but the unused shaving soap and bath soap samples will make their way to “for someone else’s use” pile. The description “Old man pantaloons “ yup, that’s the ticket.
 
I had a bar or a sample of that and I remember liking it but i can't fully remember how it smelled. I think i may have bought it purely out of curiosity about the scent BECAUSE of that description lol.
 
Well now I have 8 in rotation...

Executive Man
Sharp Dressed Man
Orange Chill
Margaritas in the Arctic
Agar
Gatlinburg
Weekend in Malibu
Tuscany

All with the matching AS. They are great performers. Pick a scent you like as has been mentioned perhaps based on a fragrance you know and like...they have many and go from there. Those green tubs are gold in my book! Only second now to CBL Soaps in quantity at 11.
