Stirling also has a lemon witch hazel, loaded with menthol. Slap some on, then run outside when it’s below zero. Oh yeah!I can't help you with the pre-shave, cause only one I own and have experience with is Proras's eucalyptus pre-shave. But for after the shave, you could get yourself some Thayers Lemon Witch Hazel, it smells like lemon, but is a good astringent, which helps to seal up any knicks or weepers as well. I've used it several times so far and I like it!
I shall do that with only undies on below zero, running around the yard saying, I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

Wow, thanks, I think wintergreen and BC will go on my list. There's no bay rum in STirling collection of yours?Hello @YHWH
I am a huge Stirling soap fan, here is my collection of all Stirling shave soaps so far...
Black Cherry
Vanilla Sandalwood
Executive Man
Coniferous
Almond Cream
Hot Apple Cider
Glacial Wintergreen
Glacial Lemon Chill
Glacial Iced Coffee
Pumpkin Spice
Stasuma
Candy Cane +2
Here are the reasons why I love Stirling soap so much...
(1) Cost per quantity = huge value!
(2) Stirling uses tallow in their soaps = supreme slickness!
(3) Stirling knows how to fragrance their soaps = prepare to fall in love!
(4) Stirling has some of the best mentholated soaps = prepare to feel the freeze!
(5) Their not a very hard based soap = easy to scoop out the soap!
(6) Customer service at Stirling is awesome = leaves customer with confidence!
Out of that list of shave soaps, I'd say that Stirling's Black Cherry, was my favorite non-mentholated shave soap, which is the soap I began with.
Out of that list of shave soaps, I'd say that Stirling's Glacial Wintergreen, was my favorite mentholated shave soap.
That Stirling Wintergreen is strongly mentholated, I think you will approve. Stirling has many glacial soaps though, not just Wintergreen.
You know whats crazy? Because Stirling has so many varieties of shave soap scents, even though I have so many of them, it only scratches the surface to what they got lol. I can say without a doubt, that I really recommend Stirling shave soaps. Hope this post helps you out in some way.
Thanks, Wintergreen doesn't seem to be on the menu right now on their website but Orange Chill sounds similar? Could you recommend a cold weather scent?
Some soaps go in and out of production. Soap Commander is also an excellent soap, and they have one called Endurance that is supposed to be like Shulton Old Spice. I have not tried it, but I love their Vision soap so I know that they make an excellent quality soap, also in a generous sized tub like Stirling.
Sorry that you can't get Spice. You also mentioned their BR, how do you like that flavor?
The Bay Rum is good. I seem to like the soaps with the stronger scents, and the clove is strong, so I like it. The soap itself
I also thought the clove was strong in the Stirling offering until I was somewhere and someone was cooking and pulled out some nutmeg to use and thought to myself the scent was eerily familiar and it wasn't until I was shaving the next day with the Bay Rum it reminded me of the day before and so I went to the cupboard and pulled out the nutmeg and compared and it was that scent that was the standout in the Stirling Bay Rum and not the clove I originally thought!! I verified this with Rod at some point after and that is when I learned that Stirling is one of the "very" few that use nutmeg in the ingredients and most people make the mistake and think its very clove when its actually nutmeg... One of my all time favorites from the Stirling line and recently finished my tub and have yet to replace it.
Do those samples come in vessels? If not how do I use it as a face lathering rebel, please?I am slowly chewing through my Stirling soap sampling pack, and the fourth one was Ozark Mountain. A big shout out for that soap, the scent and the creaminess of that piece - my fav soap so far! (and yes I did try MWF
