Stirling Scots Pine Sheep, SV Manna di Sicilia, SV Mirto di Sardegna.
So yes, I used 3 soaps for one shave. I was curious how I would find the lather of Stirling vs SV, and SV with the manufacturer recommended slightly bloomed method vs loading of the dry puck.
My biggest conclusion is that SV loads a thick creamy protolather in a matter of seconds with a damp brush on a dry puck just as easy as a pre bloomed soap, but without the blooming the soap will stay in a nicer condition imho. I do take the pucks out of the tin can already, and put them in wax paper so they can dry without trapping a lot of water in the tin can underneath.
Stirling does the job just as well as SV, but SV smells more sophisticated.
