Clubman bottles are quite large, FYI. And very cheap. I like Stirling gin and tonic. Stirling would be about half the size of those Clubman reserve bottles. Stirling's Executive Man is better than Fine Platinum, in my humble opinion. Fine's American Blend is their most popular scent if you haven't tried it yet. Soap Commander's balms are excellent. If you feel like you're missing a bay rum, check out Ogallala or Captain's Choice.

IMO, anything from Fine and anything from WSP. You can't go wrong. WSP (on their site) has a buy all 7 of their standard scents in 1oz sample bottles. Nice variety and bigger than most samples.
This is fantastic. Like you, I'm new and stumbled across Stirling...and I'm on a Stirling binge right now as well. While I like their descriptions of scents, this helps as well since it's real life description and not just a sales description. Kudos.
Uh, where is "here" and "locally", approximately?
You can add that to your account's "Personal Details". Even just the country name could be useful.
Without knowing preferences, it's tough.
I'll go with US Aramis and Midnight Stag. Nothing else will really matter.

Love the gin and tonic and orange chill. The black ice is potent stuff, but I like it to change things up occasionally. Bay rum is good, but in general not one of my favorite scents. I have a few more too that I can't remember as I haven't tried then all yet.
I have a lot of Stirling shaving soaps and have tried samples of even more. I'm not a fan of menthol so I've learned to leave those alone. Otherwise, even the Stirling that I didn't initially care for when I opened the container to take a whiff are fine when I quiet smelling them in the container and just used them.
Gatlinburg and Black Cherry were a bit too much just out of the contain but are fine to actually shave with now.
My favorites are Sandalwood, Bay Rum, and Christmas Eve. They are all pretty good though even the bath soaps.

Hi i actually got the 50ml splashes on my cart right now! Which one is the best would you say? Inclined towards gents gin
Sorry! I am actually stationed in Singapore at the moment!
Gents Gin is my fav, followed closely by Whiskey Woods. Brandied Spice is a little to sweet for me.
Well I thought I had lost my mind ordering 9 samples but you make me look like a piker 
Enjoy 'em.
Enjoy 'em.
This is good news. Really like Stirling products and service. Excellent!
And grateful for Rod's service to our nation, me and mine!
Just ordered a few soaps, bath and shave. I love my pumpkin spice and the performance. I used to not be able to use it because of my agua. Now, well, it's really soft, like my belly! Yay water!!
Great list!
Thanks for a clear description of the scents! I’ve tried a few so far. May try a couple more based on this. I bought full tubs of MITA and Weekend in Malibu.
I have been "on the wagon" from shaving purchases for many months. I just accumulated so much stuff I had no pending needs. I'm guessing my shaving consumables can be measured in years now.
BUT.... trying new soaps is always a weakness for me so today I fired off a Stirling order of shave soap samples and matching AS samples... Electric Sheep, Gatlinburg, Glastonbury, and Ozark Mountain. Thoughts on these?

Electric Sheep is really special. It's one of my favorites. It has a very thick, cushiony feel to it. It feels different than his regular Tallow based soaps. I find the same to be true of his other sheep soaps.
The only one you mentioned that I have tried is Ozark Mountain. I don't let it run out. It is a great woodsy pine scent.

I posted about this before. Really like this fragrance and of course it performs like so many other Stirling soaps. Does anyone know when Rod is going to release this? He emailed me once and said tis month. He sent me a sample batch in an order once. Really like the scent of this soap.
