I bought the sample puck, scent was kind of meh. I love a lot of Stirling's offering just not this one. I have to love it to use it!

Ask me about shaving naked!
I get mostly juniper and patchouli.

I pulled out the Frozen Tundra for todays shave and all I can say is I love this stuff... I love all the Stirling products I have tried to date. I recently added some soap for the shower to an order and its making the shower a little more enjoyable. I wish I'd found this stuff sooner!! I am totally hooked on Stirling now...
Is that patchouli I smell in the background? I have the aftershave and I thought it was a smokey vetiver scent.
Sorry I can't comment on the soap, but I do have the aftershave and it's awesome.

Stirling Sharp Dress Man great stuff
Any thoughts on how long the soap's shelf life is with occasional use? I typically use it every so often by lathering off the puck, letting it air dry for several days, and placing the lid back on before putting it away in my bathroom sink drawer.
The reason I ask is because a puck from early 2014 got lose from the container I pressed it into, checked it out, and noticed a small black patch on the bottom of the soap. Its a light colored puck so the black showed up easily and may simply have always been present. But I dug it out and shuttled the puck to the shower to finish out its life.

Has anyone used this before? I am having one heck of a time getting it to lather. I just cut up my face with what I thought looked like good lather but when I felt there was no slickness. Not sure what I did wrong or if the beeswax just does not lather well
I would say the reason it shrank was from letting it set out and dry... As to the black spot, couldn't really say. You might send an email over on Stirlings site and they could better answer you. I never let my soaps air dry, then again Stirling never has to be bloomed so there is actually never that much water that gets into my container because I only load it from the container and then move to a lather bowl...
hhmm, thanks for that info, i use the naked and smooth, and that is my go to soap, crazy lather and slickness,
try using distilled water with the beeswax, the no scent allows me to use any aftershave and balm i desire , and dont have to worry about matching scents with soap. give the naked and smooth try

This makes so much sense!! Too late now though as I am stocked with plenty of Stirling soaps & AS but will definitely keep this in mind for the future...
i what what you mean, i just placed an order for the gentleman line and a few sample after shave !!!
hard to mind my beeswax

Got my Baker Street and tried it today. I would describe it as having a fresh, cool, and clean scent. To me it smells classic and I like it.
Brilliant.
I'll probably never be able to use this soap without hearing that saxophone!
Every. Single. Time.
To me, that whole area of Baker St, Marylebone, Blandford St, etc smells like Indian food. Is there a soap that smells like goat vindaloo?
In testing against Stirling Naked & Smooth, I found that Stirling Unscented with Beeswax produces a lather that is a bit thinner and a little more airy and voluminous, so the cushion is okay. Slickness is not as good as Naked & Smooth. Post-shave feel is good, but not quite as good as Naked & Smooth, I think.
