Yeah - love the cats, as a dedicated Cat Dad myself! And, been a Stirling customer, too. Recent purchase was your Ben Franklin aftershave, but I got the "Glacier" amount wrong making it unusable...but, the scent is both unique and very nice...
Stirling is the best artisan soap company in wet shaving, period. Stirling soap base is absolutely incredible and I love all of the unscented soaps, they are spectacular. Your aftershaves, EDTs, and balms are fantastic. Thank you for keeping prices reasonable for premium products. Stirling Soap Company is an artisan for the people and the entire wet shave community knows this. I wish you continued success Rod and Mandy, well done ! -From a fan and loyal customer over many years.
It is an honor and pleasure to do business with Stirling. While I have not used any of there shave soaps, I absolutely love Barbershop and Deton-8 aftershaves. Amazing owners, company, and products.
I have been buying my bar soap for many years from Stirling. It really has helped my eczema issues. Doesn’t cure it but definitely keeps it to a minimum. My skin stays moist and smooth throughout the day. I have a bar in every bathroom at home and one at work. The shave soap sets my beard up for a smooth close shave. Love their products! Thank you Rod and Mandy from Mike W from Connecticut.
Awesome video & answers to many questions! Rod & Mandi, you both are truly great people and do so much for the wet-shaving community. Your products are top notch & amazing as well as great value to customers. Your company has been around ever since I started wet-shaving and I have always used your fantastic products & will continue to do so for many years to come. It was a pleasure to meet both of you at the South Florida Wet-Shavers Meet Up supporting 1st Responders! You both are always doing great things in the community as well. God Bless & Take Care!👍😎
I really like this company - great products, fair prices, honest hard working people - love to see the growth of the company as proof of a continuing American small business success story (although they're not as small as they used to be!) - best wishes for continued success!
Rod and Mandy, Thanks for all you do, in fact funny thing, I have an order arriving tomorrow., lol. I never knew you offered the PUCKS, or should I say I just overlooked it on the website. My “POPPS” has an old school Old Spice Mug he always uses and would ALWAYS buy the “Williams” puck which is NOT made anymore. But now I have GREAT news for my POPPS. Since he’s old school and stuck on usuing his 50 year old “Old Spice” original shave mug with the handle. AWESOME NEWS!!! STIRLING to the rescue.
Stirling Sah e soap was my first introduction to artisan soaps. Stirlinbg was the PERFECT introduction to artisan soaps. Needless to say, I've been a Stirling fan for years. Great lathers, great protection, great shaves, great price!
I have used many of your soaps for years. Still my favorite shaving soaps! Thank you both for such great products. And, your customer service is unmatched by any other company. Customer for life.
Awww, I just wanna hug the cute calico's behind you, so sweet. ♥ Don't worry, I'm still happy to see you both Rod & Mandy again too lol. I'm glad you went into the scent difference between the refill puk's and the closed soap jar's. I like your Stirling logo, I appreciate that they are waterproof, they don't break down like paper labels do. Hmm, you could save time cutting samples using a robotic cutting machine. I had no idea the refill puk's were that malleable, that is superbly excellent, that you can easily fit it to the 5.8-OZ jars, love it! Thanks for another great video!
Thank you guys for your continued hard work, customer service and transparency! Another interesting thing to add is I’ve noticed the aftershaves with vanillin also turn darker over time. It’s pretty neat!
They do. The older they are, the darker they get in most cases. We thought about switching to amber colored bottles, but I like being able to see the changes.
Rod and Mandy, thanks for the video, I love all your products especially the shave soap! Also thanks for having generous sample pucks, they are so helpful for trying new scents. I hope you do these type of videos more frequently, I really enjoy them!
I look forward to more videos, one think I would really love is product spotlights especially on the soap, what's the scent what inspired you to make it, or some interesting info during the creation process. Just my 2 cents
Stirling is always my top recommendation for any beginner wetshaver. Just high quality products at an incredible value! Absolutely loving my Lightish-Red btw!
One month of shaves for a "1 ounce" sample? Some people can get more shaves or 'more time' than that, depending on how they shave. The 1-ounce samples are very generous.
It’s a sample that a manufacturer sent us but we have a similar mug that’s cream-colored with our logo on it. We may source the black ones like the one in the video since they’re a bit wider.
Rod and Mandy I have been using your shave soap for long time and really love them along with your other products. I like them for the natural ingredients in them. I mainly order the pucks and samples for the simple reason I don't have to find places to store the larger containers. Keep up the good work and thank for your great customer service.
I use the refills in the standard size container quite often and I smash it out just like you demonstrate. I like to wet my thumbs a bit so they don't pick up as much soap in the process.
Thanks. It is always good to sit and listen to my favorite soap makers. I probably have enough Stirling shave soaps and almost enough aftershaves for the rest of my life. Not talked about too much, but Stirling has the best Witch Hazel, try Orange Chill or Eucalyptus Mint. Aftershave balm is nice too. My highest volume of purchased Stirling products continue to be bath soap and shampoo bars, those who have not tried them should. Winter is almost over, but if you want the best dry in cracked skin fixers, get one of the Heel & Palm Balms. My wife loves the Body Lotion and Body Butter.
Greetings from Slovenia! I've recently bought your Christmas edition soap and I love it. I'm thrilled to see just how many different scents you have and I can't wait to try them out. Definitely my favorite soap that I've ever tried!
Just started to buy your shave soaps. I received the Black Ice + the after shave & really like both of them. I would pay a premium to purchase via Amazon.
Super informative. Glad to see you have so many sizes, especially so many samples. It's great to be able to try lots of different scents. Even if the per ounce price is higher, it's still a cheap luxury.
well in my humble soap den of around 350 dif soaps I have 42 stirling ones , all GREAT SCENT AND LATHER , no doubt yr soap is wonderful, comparing with italian soaps you are doing very well , the nice thing is that your variety of scents is very very big, and all scents are very specific, some samples I have I put these in aluminum jars, and these ones fit very well, so congratulations for doing such a marvelous job creating soaps , greeting from mexico , saludos y abrazos de mexico , robert broes
We have opened up international shipping. Currently, we do not know of a retailer that can source our products in India so anything alcohol-based is restricted but everything else is available.
Thankyou for the video that was really useful am a huge fan of Stirling have several of your scents and love them all just as much apart from Haverford it’s definitely my No 1 cheers guys 🙂🙌👌
You guys have the best sample system in the industry. The trifecta, soap, splash, and edt. I appreciate more than you know, I generally dont buy soap samples as a fraghead I reach for the edt and sometimes the splash.
Who knew ? Very informative. Great job, Rod and Mandy ! Just placed an order for Arlen soap / balm and three other balms, as well. Great artisan products at affordable prices.
@@StirlingSoap What's the deal with Black Ice Rod? I smelled it and it was nice. I see Clay in the ingredients.. none of other Stirling Soaps has it. Different base?
@@T-R.e.x The Black Ice and the Glacial Obsidian both have Australian Black Clay in them. When we decided to remove the clay from the other soaps, we left it in those two because I like the effect of them being black.
nice video and funny ending 😂. i love how natural your soaps are from you both!. i also own duke now and i love the scent of it. greetings from germany :). stirling is my number one and after stirling comes speick shaving cream.
I have been worried that you guys would get mad at me for buying so many samples. For some reason I can't seem to tell if I will like something from its website description. The only two fragrances I remember from growing up was Brutt and Polo Green. Once you get past lemon, lime and pepper in the essential oils I am grasping a straws. So your offerings of sample shave soaps has been wonderful. I have a list of tubs I will be ordering in the future. And I will probably order more samples when the next seasons offering come out. Just fair warning :) Thanks again. You shave soaps and after shaves are awesome.
Great video guys! I go back to 2015 or maybe earlier with Stirling and you've consistently been my favorite company in the wet shaving market. Lately you've converted me into a 3-bar shower guy...bath bar, shampoo bar and conditioner bar. I love it! One question, did you bail on the mud facial product? I buy Umbrian clay for rosacea from a company called Fresh, but it's very expensive and was excited to see what you guys were working on. Cheers! -Scott
Always a pleasure using Stirling soaps. Regarding the artwork design, I would like in the future to see some rebranding of some impactful products. I'm talking about rebranding in the same cartoonish style such as Mountain Man i.e.😊
This was a great video! I wondered about the different colors of the soaps and if you added anything to make those colors. Also, I am a full-on advocate of soap samples, especially coming from a fragrance background (being a fragrance enthusiast). I've been trying so many soap samples from you guys (which made me buy tubs of Texas on Fire and Witchy Woman and I'm going to get Satsuma next and maybe Light-ish Red). Plus, anything can happen with different soaps...and blind buying them just to try them and only to dislike them is not an economical decision for me. Shave soap is one thing, but fragrances are another ESPECIALLY with how expensive they can be, so I am just a person that tries to sample, sample, sample to make sure everything works for me before I make full-scale purchases. I wish EVERY soap manufacturer offered samples of their shave soaps so I wouldn't have to go through third-parties like The Razor Company to buy samples to try of soaps. I also cut my soap samples and scoop small amounts out of the tubs so I don't have to deal with water messing up anything and it keeps the soaps fresh every time I use them. Just an enjoyable practice. I love this company and what you guys are doing! I totally appreciate all that you do for the wet shaving community! 😊😊😊
I pretty much exclusively use stirling at this point. Absolutely the best hands down. Just used up a sample of evie and loved it! Holding off on buying a tub of it until there is a matching post shave balm available. Cant wait!
Great Video, thanks to you both! I found that really good with the refill pack and all the other tips! This with heating a shaving soap this mistake I have make on begin my wet shave journey! Have a great week! And now I know that Stirling a City is, I thought that's your surname!
Great video guys! I always enjoy these types of videos and I usually learn something. Like about the Coors Light mountain range in your original lable lol! The boopers at the end is an added bonus and this time we saw a dispute between 2 thumbs 😄👍 Have a good one! Steve
You guys doing such a great job for wet shaving community however I am vegan base soaps users I have had aftershave and sis de razor from sterling and I love it keep up great work wishing you very successful journey long way
I have been using Stirling’s soaps for about 4-5 years now, and I use a lot on my channel , I love Stirling’s soaps except for Glastonbury that’s the one soap that I will use but it’s the only one that is my very least favorite because of the scent , my favorite is Haverford it smells just like my Uncles old house in Indiana so I mention that every time I use it, but my number one favorite seasonal soap is Christmas Eve , I honestly love the Christmas season and it smells like Christmas just like Coniferous. Thanks for the video.
hello. Rod and Mandy Thanks for the video. When will “Spearmint” be available again in sterling? *As the last video says... not only the US, but also Korea is in a very bad economic situation right now. Not. Load...
Some other artisans bawk at samples and won't do them. Samples are a must if its a scent you're unfamiliar with. Years ago I bought Stirling samples and fell in love.. $3,000 spent since then. Samples go further than you know. HAVERFORD!!! SOLIDUS!!! Keep up the great work everyone at Stirling!
I love your soaps very much, I have 20 😅last so long time, great performance and scent hold on the skinn for a couple of hour too😍keep up the good work 👍
Great video very imforative. I'm a hug fan of striping soap. Haverford is one if my favorites along with deep blue sea strawberry lemonade and witchy woman. Yes I'm a man and I love the scent of witchy woman on me. Great soaps they later up very well. Will you guys be making the Solidus soap in a 5 oz jar like how you did with Lightish Red. I remember lightish red was sold in a smaller jar only and now its in the 5 oz jar a long with the other soaps.
Great question! Solidus will make a return in a small jar for Black Friday in July this summer and then we’ll let it rest for at least a year before we launch it in full size. That’s a pretty awesome scent.
oh I like the color of some soaps , yes haverford , barbershop , glastonbury ( pachouli ) , vanilla sandalwood etc , OH for the glastonbury I use aftershave splash called ambre noir eau de toillette from yves rocher
Thanks for this excellent video. I've been a fan of your soaps for several years now (originally purchased from Maggard's but purchased my latest order directly from you). The new iced coffee soap is wonderful. It smells great. Your aftershaves smell great too. Pumpkin spice soap and aftershave are two products I'm looking forward to getting again later in the year.
I’ve got a tub of Deep Blue Sea that I need to buy a refill tub. But I also have a small, 3 oz tub of Clementine that I’m about to finish. Are those smaller tubs simply one offs or maybe a scent you were unsure about putting out there? Either way, I’ll hold on to it in hopes you do bring it out again. It’s a very pleasant scent. BTW, love your soaps, not a stretch to say everyone in the wet shaving community does.
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 !! I love stirlings soaps. I have the Baker Street ( from Sherlock Holmes) and I bought one with Levanter to my father. One word for Strirling Soaps: QUALITY! Ps: sorry for my bad English
I really like having the samples and pucks available without use of a plastic tub. Plastic is not good for the earth and honestly using a nice ceramic mug is a nicer experience. Win Win!
I've been a customer for quite a few years now and love your products. I used to love your soaps but I stopped ordering them after discovering they were made with beef tallow. I can't use stuff made with beef for several different reasons. Are there any plans to make more tallow-free soaps like your face soap? Thought I'd comment here to get your attention and provide this feedback.
Thanks for commenting. We actually used to have a full second lineup of Vegan soaps, but we discontinued them as they didn't sell as well and I just have too many options to keep up with already. I don't have any plans to bring them back at this moment. Sorry!
Several votes here for the Arlen line becoming full time! When my wife does haircuts and beard trims I mix the different soaps I have and these guys overwhelmingly like Arlen the best!
We’ll definitely feature one over on the roastery’s channel soon. We’re coming up on Roast #1800 this coming week so it might be a great time for that.
Anyone ever use a puck of your soap WITHOUT a brush? Like when you are lathering up to take a shower with it, but shave instead? I used to do that with Williams and Mitchell's and got a better shave than I could with my poor brush lathering skills. Just ordered some Executive Man and looking forward to it!
Came for the soap but stayed for the cats.
Yeah - love the cats, as a dedicated Cat Dad myself!

Please! Don't get rid of the sample sizes of the shaving soap! You're right! It gives you a chance to try a new scent.
They're staying. No need to worry.
My #1 shaving soap brand. I own 62 scents so far. All started with samples and now slowly being replaced with 5.8oz jars.
62!!! I am in your debt.
I have 62 razors! And I started in June.
Your soap has become the standard in our household. You make an excellent product(s).
Thank you. I appreciate that.

Plus, anything can happen with different soaps...and blind buying them just to try them and only to dislike them is not an economical decision for me. Shave soap is one thing, but fragrances are another ESPECIALLY with how expensive they can be, so I am just a person that tries to sample, sample, sample to make sure everything works for me before I make full-scale purchases.
I wish EVERY soap manufacturer offered samples of their shave soaps so I wouldn't have to go through third-parties like The Razor Company to buy samples to try of soaps. I also cut my soap samples and scoop small amounts out of the tubs so I don't have to deal with water messing up anything and it keeps the soaps fresh every time I use them. Just an enjoyable practice. I love this company and what you guys are doing! I totally appreciate all that you do for the wet shaving community! 😊😊😊
Thank you very much. As long as I'm running the show, we'll keep offering samples.
Nice job Rod and Mandy. Answered a lot of questions.
Thank you!
I pretty much exclusively use stirling at this point. Absolutely the best hands down. Just used up a sample of evie and loved it! Holding off on buying a tub of it until there is a matching post shave balm available. Cant wait!
Thank you very much!
Great Video, thanks to you both! I found that really good with the refill pack and all the other tips! This with heating a shaving soap this mistake I have make on begin my wet shave journey! Have a great week! And now I know that Stirling a City is, I thought that's your surname!
Quite a few people assume Stirling is our last name. 😁
@@StirlingSoap 😊👍
Your products are great! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, John! I really appreciate that!
Very interesting, thank you. Discovered your products in 2019, been a satisfied customer ever since.
Thank you very much for being with us so long!
Great video guys! I always enjoy these types of videos and I usually learn something. Like about the Coors Light mountain range in your original lable lol! The boopers at the end is an added bonus and this time we saw a dispute between 2 thumbs 😄👍
Have a good one!
Steve
Thank you, Steve!
You guys doing such a great job for wet shaving community however I am vegan base soaps users I have had aftershave and sis de razor from sterling and I love it keep up great work wishing you very successful journey long way
Thank you, Nate! I really appreciate that.
I have been using Stirling’s soaps for about 4-5 years now, and I use a lot on my channel , I love Stirling’s soaps except for Glastonbury that’s the one soap that I will use but it’s the only one that is my very least favorite because of the scent , my favorite is Haverford it smells just like my Uncles old house in Indiana so I mention that every time I use it, but my number one favorite seasonal soap is Christmas Eve , I honestly love the Christmas season and it smells like Christmas just like Coniferous.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for all of the videos you've done featuring our soaps. I am in your debt and greatly appreciate the work you do.
@@StirlingSoap Thank you so much , I honestly appreciate what you guys do I’m not done buying from you guys .
hello. Rod and Mandy
Thanks for the video.
When will “Spearmint” be available again in sterling?
*As the last video says...
not only the US, but also Korea is in a very bad economic situation right now.
Not. Load...
We won’t be launching Glacial Spearmint this year. We are revamping the Glacial release with all new scents.
I’ve been using Iced Pineapple exclusively now that it’s been getting warmer. So cool and refreshing!
Thanks, Christian. I am glad you like it!
Some other artisans bawk at samples and won't do them. Samples are a must if its a scent you're unfamiliar with. Years ago I bought Stirling samples and fell in love.. $3,000 spent since then. Samples go further than you know. HAVERFORD!!! SOLIDUS!!! Keep up the great work everyone at Stirling!
Thank you as always, Matt. Or should I say "George."
I love your soaps very much, I have 20 😅last so long time, great performance and scent hold on the skinn for a couple of hour too😍keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, Tony!
Great video very imforative. I'm a hug fan of striping soap. Haverford is one if my favorites along with deep blue sea strawberry lemonade and witchy woman. Yes I'm a man and I love the scent of witchy woman on me. Great soaps they later up very well. Will you guys be making the Solidus soap in a 5 oz jar like how you did with Lightish Red. I remember lightish red was sold in a smaller jar only and now its in the 5 oz jar a long with the other soaps.
Great question! Solidus will make a return in a small jar for Black Friday in July this summer and then we’ll let it rest for at least a year before we launch it in full size. That’s a pretty awesome scent.
oh I like the color of some soaps , yes haverford , barbershop , glastonbury ( pachouli ) , vanilla sandalwood etc , OH for the glastonbury I use aftershave splash called ambre noir eau de toillette from yves rocher
Thank you. I will have to look up that scent.
Thanks for this excellent video. I've been a fan of your soaps for several years now (originally purchased from Maggard's but purchased my latest order directly from you). The new iced coffee soap is wonderful. It smells great. Your aftershaves smell great too. Pumpkin spice soap and aftershave are two products I'm looking forward to getting again later in the year.
Thanks, Laura! I am glad you're enjoying the scents!
Really enjoyed the new shave bowls that just arrived to me. Looking forward to receiving my samples. Cute cats by the way 👍
Thanks, Jordan!
Keep up the great work. I've used Duke and Barber Shop soaps. Can't wait to try a new one
Thank you so much!
I’ve got a tub of Deep Blue Sea that I need to buy a refill tub. But I also have a small, 3 oz tub of Clementine that I’m about to finish. Are those smaller tubs simply one offs or maybe a scent you were unsure about putting out there? Either way, I’ll hold on to it in hopes you do bring it out again. It’s a very pleasant scent. BTW, love your soaps, not a stretch to say everyone in the wet shaving community does.
The smaller tubs are our Black Friday scents. If they get enough positive feedback, we bring them back later on in the full size tubs.
I've been a HUGE fan since I first started wetshaving. Really appreciate all you have done for the community. Loved the last 30 seconds lol
Thanks, Leroy! I hope you've been doing great these days.
@@StirlingSoap I'm doing ok, thanks for asking. Busy, but good 😊
@@gnomeoshaves4641 seems like you're getting on a plane every other week right now!
Fantastic company. So happy to support your business!
Thank you, Peter!
@@StirlingSoap I just ordered my first shave soaps, and I’m super excited to receive them!
@@peterdrogos942 Thank you! I hope you love them!
The outtakes Love it Rod and Mandy
Thanks, Zane! I hope you've been doing well.
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 !! I love stirlings soaps. I have the Baker Street ( from Sherlock Holmes) and I bought one with Levanter to my father. One word for Strirling Soaps: QUALITY!
Ps: sorry for my bad English
Thank you very much!
any consideration for an Angel Share dupe?
I’m unfamiliar with that one but the notes sound awesome. We might have to check it out! Thank you for the recommendation.
Would be super cool to get some soaps in some store's in Kansas City.
I agree! If you know of any places that would be a good fit, please send them our way!
Outstanding products from Stirling. Outstanding.
Thank you very much!
Great video Rod and Mandy!
Thank you very much!
Pretty much the only place I buy my shaving products, love these guys.
Thank you so much!
Great products
Thank you sir!
Awesome! Thank y'all!
Thank you, Shane!
I really like having the samples and pucks available without use of a plastic tub. Plastic is not good for the earth and honestly using a nice ceramic mug is a nicer experience. Win Win!
Thanks, Steve!
Rod, if you're listening, I've been holding out on solid cologne for Stirling Gentleman. Any plans to expand the SC line?

@@StirlingSoap You make my dreams come true, Rod.
I've been a customer for quite a few years now and love your products. I used to love your soaps but I stopped ordering them after discovering they were made with beef tallow. I can't use stuff made with beef for several different reasons. Are there any plans to make more tallow-free soaps like your face soap? Thought I'd comment here to get your attention and provide this feedback.
Thanks for commenting. We actually used to have a full second lineup of Vegan soaps, but we discontinued them as they didn't sell as well and I just have too many options to keep up with already. I don't have any plans to bring them back at this moment. Sorry!
@@StirlingSoapStay with Beef Tallow, it's excellent 😊
Several votes here for the Arlen line becoming full time! When my wife does haircuts and beard trims I mix the different soaps I have and these guys overwhelmingly like Arlen the best!
Thank you! I love it too, and it definitely will be coming back at some point.
Just placed an order for some refill pucks, samplers, and containers.
Thank you so much, Korey!
Regular customer and throughly enjoy your products!
Thanks so much, Tim!
I’m very interested in your coffee, would love to see a video about that, thanks!
We’ll definitely feature one over on the roastery’s channel soon. We’re coming up on Roast #1800 this coming week so it might be a great time for that.
Anyone ever use a puck of your soap WITHOUT a brush? Like when you are lathering up to take a shower with it, but shave instead? I used to do that with Williams and Mitchell's and got a better shave than I could with my poor brush lathering skills. Just ordered some Executive Man and looking forward to it!
We have a handful of people who do that, but I definitely recommend using the brush.
Love you guys company. Keep it up 👍
Thank you very much!
