Update- I tried the Executive Man bath soap and love it.
If you can please describe Faskally.
I'm so bad at describing scents. Maybe @Time Bandit or @ChriWilson can help me out here.
It's a vetiver base. There's a prominent grapefruit citrus thing that hits you at first that gives it a fresh a lively feel. For me that note fades after a bit on the face and a stronger vetiver vibe takes over. That a broad term, but here it comes off like dry grass or hay, sort of woody leaning leaning sage. And there's a touch of amber in there to make it sexy
.
I think it's sophisticated and very masculine.

Brush: Semogue - mixed knot
Soap: Stirling Soap Co. - Oro Valley

Oro Valley was a very nice entry into the Stirling realm. I tried Waves of Grain last year just because it was on sale. I am amazed by how well it pairs with so many scents, including Oro Valley. I purchased a backup while it was still on sale.

I didn't know that they sell 3 ounce?
I think the new releases and sale items are 3 oz.
Makes sense.
Stirling Sheep was today's choice, never fails!
Used my Agar soap sample today. I’ve had it long enough that it has lost most of its scents.
Faskally is a very good fragranced clone of Tom Ford’s “Grey Vetiver” EdT
Triumph, I mentioned earlier is of Paco Rabone’s “Invictus”
Deep Blue Sea = Chanel Bleu
Deton-8 = Victor Rolf’s Spice Bomb
All are very well done according to my nose.

You don't "need" the dock / tray But you don't want the Cube to sit in any real amount of water and the Dock has channels for water to drain. If you already have some kind of soap dish that drains you could you that just fine.
The best things about the Docks are that they are both the right size and shape for the Cube. The Dock also has good rubbery feet on the bottom that keep it from moving or sliding. You need to intentionally pick the entire thing up if you want to move it.
Originally there were only two versions, the "original" charcoal black one and the blueish one with menthol. Now there are three main options (including the Enigma) and many cubes made that match curtain soap/scent releases. These are usually colored in some way. My point is, that you can get the dock in black but just recently a new "Ice" Dock had been released that is clear. Choose which you like most if you decide to go for one.
As far as cost/value goes, you're better off with the Cube as its 8 Oz. for $12 versus 2 Oz for $9 for the Tube.
I hope this has helped you.
All special and seasonal releases Only sold in the 3oz size. Aftershaves for special/seasonal releases also are sold in much smaller bottles than the normal 100ml size.
Faskally:
"Woodsy, aromatic, citrus, earthy, and spicy are the words that describe this scent. It has top notes of grapefruit, orange blossom, and sage. The middle is made up of nutmeg and pimento, and the base is vetiver, oakmoss, and amber. Inspired by Tom Ford Grey Vetiver"
I find it light and refreshing. It's sophisticated, clean and masculine. Truth be told, you can't really go wrong with a Tom Ford fragrance or a soap/aftershave that's a dupe of one. Especially if it's a dupe made by Stirling.
Tip: At the very bottom of the Stirling Soap Company site you'll find a link titled Scent Descriptions. This is their master list of releases as well as a cheat sheet for the uh, scent descriptions.
I find it very handy as I go there often.
How would you describe Gentlemen?
So I do a search on the Stirling site for Faskally and get nothing, am I 
?

Fascaly has been a seasonal offering. It might already be sold out...So I do a search on the Stirling site for Faskally and get nothing, am I
If Stirling sold Stirling Bay Rum t-shirts...I'd buy one.
