Best soaps available and for reasonable money from a small family owned business. Great people and outrageous customer service. I was a loyal TOBS user before I found Sterling.
Stirling is amazing. I’ve collected enough soaps now that I’ll go for a week or two without using one and when I do I’m surprised at just how well it compares to those more expensive ones. It’s so easy to lather and most of the fragrances are great. The two on your list that I have are Vanilla Sandalwood and Haverford. Both of them are outstanding but Haverford is a knockout. I got the aftershaves as well and Haverford lasts for an entire day. I couldn’t imagine a time where Stirling isn’t available. I hope they continue doing well for decades to come. Thanks for the video. I also appreciate your support. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for watching Eric! Yeah, I agree that Stirling performs just about as well as the pricier soaps. I've mentioned in past videos that when you properly lather Stirling and hydrate it just right, the slickness , cushion and post shave feel are about the same as the pricier soaps. And it's just insane that they sell it for so cheap, you just cant beat it. Easily the best price to performance ratio of any soap. If I had to use only Stirling for the rest of my life I wouldn't be too upset. I'm glad you enjoy haverford as much as I do! Since the splash is so cheap I might as well just snag it. That scent is outstanding for sure. I'm always happy to support and I look forward to more of your videos! Take care and enjoy your weekend!
I agree with you that Haverford is a great fragrance! I’ve only tried 3 fragrances from Stirling but they were all nice. I’ve seen coniferous come up a few times now, think I might have to get that one next. Thanks for your review.
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate your feedback. Happy to hear you’re enjoying Stirling, they really know what they’re doing when it comes to scents and soaps. They will always be my top artisan. Haverford is definitely up there with some of their best. I absolutely love coniferous. It smells very realistic, like the actual inside of a pine tree with the sap and everything. Because of this it might not be for everyone, but if you’re into natural earthy scents, you will love it. My wife loves it too. Ozark mountain is a good option for a more “cologney” and wearable woody scent. That one smells more like a Christmas candle. I prefer coniferous personally. Thanks again and hope you have a great weekend.
in my humble shave den I have around 285 soaps , and from stirling 39 scents, the best barbershop scent is the one from stirling , then CAD from phoenix and classic from grunberger , I am fan of pachouli soaps , from stirling I have Glastonburry and today I used haverford also great scent . saludos desde mexico
Thanks for watching robert! Wow! That’s quite the collection you have there! You blow my collection right out of the water. I’m happy to see you enjoy Stirling as much as I do! They have always been and always will be my top soap artisan. I’ve smelled many barbershop scents and I agree that stirling’s is the best one out there. Smells exactly like my childhood barbershop. Can’t get enough of that scent. CAD is great too I agree. I was not a fan of Glastonbury when I got my sample, but maybe I’ll revisit it. Haverford is an amazing scent, one of my favorites. Great choices! Keep on shaving on brother and have a great week!
Man I seriously have loved your videos - I just discovered your channel. I’m getting back into wet shaving after having a beard for several years but MAN! This wet shaving life is so good.
Hey man thanks again so much for your kind words and support! I am so happy to hear that you’re enjoying my content! It helps to encourage me to continue making videos. Glad to hear you’re getting back into the hobby. It’s a great time to be a wetshaver with the massive variety in soaps right now. It’s honestly kind of insane, lol. But man it never gets old for me. Hope you have a great weekend!
Great line up! I really enjoy Island Man and Vanilla Sandalwood. The Barbershop is good to, but I have that in their lotion, I like the vanilla in it. I'm leery of Bay Rums because most give me some sort of skin reaction...which sucks because I do enjoy the scent of most Bay Rum's. Another favorite of mine is Agar (which is being discontinued) and Arkadia, both really great scents. Agar is a bit darker with Oud and spices; Arkadia is a touch brighter with more floral notes, but not overly so in my opinion. Definitely pick up a sample if you can! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks for watching James! Thanks! Glad to hear you have some similar favorites! Yeah I can absolutely see how bay rum can cause that. Mu guess is it's the cinnamon in it that causes the reaction. I've heard many people say that about cinnamon, so that makes a lot of sense. I'm glad you enjoy the scent though! Agar and arkadia do sound nice! I like florals as well as oud and spices so I'll definitely snag some samples. Thanks for the recommendation! Thanks for your support and have a great week!!
You're very welcome! Stirling is and probably always will be my favorite artisan. Great scents, value, performance and customer service. They excel in all areas.
Stirling is awesome. I started with proraso green and it smelled so good to me I nver wanted to branch out. Much better shave with this. This seems less processed and more natural too. I have ten samples. Can't wait to try pumpkin spice, hot apple cider and black cherry lol.
@@bluetoast8584 thanks so much for watching! Very happy to hear you’re been enjoying Stirling. They’ve always been my top soap. Definitely natural, and some of their soaps (like bay rum and coniferous) are scented with all essential oils which is awesome too. Nice choices, especially hot apple cider. I’ve been using the bath soap and it is CRAZY good. One of their best. Keep on shaving on brother and have a good week.
Stirling is my favorite brand, by far. The value is unmatched, period. My favorite scents might not match yours, but I've never gotten a bad on yet! I like Stirling Green, Sharp Dressed Man, Carmichael, Haverford, Scarn, Stirling Blue and last but not least, Stirling Gentleman. Rock on Stirling! Rod and Mandy are the best.
Thanks for watching Ray! Couldn't agree more. Easily the best price to performance ratio in the game. Greatest value and they have been my favorite brand for quite some time now. Thanks for sharing your list! Haverford is seriously a gorgeous scent. Haven't smelled the others, but I know they are nice cologne scents which you can't go wrong with. I'm glad you're enjoying the brand as well! Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy your week!
I just came across this shave soap and went crazy reading the reviews so I bought 6 tubs of various scents. Can't wait to get it because they sound awesome!
Hi Martin! I'm glad to hear that! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! All their scents are great. Smart choice to go with Stirling my friend. Thanks for watching and have a great week!
I have enough Stirling Shave soap to last for the rest of my life, given how little it takes, evenfor a 3 pass shave. But I will buy additional tubs or at least 1 oz. Samples to try different scents. The 1oz samples are awesome as they take up less space, save me a few $, at least until I like it and order the tub😂. Even the 1 oz. Samples last me for about 2 months. The best!
I have too many Stirling to count. Many of your favorites are mine too. I love Barbershop, Haverford, Sandpiper, Stirling Gentleman, Sharped Dress Man, Mountain Man. I can keep going as I have a ton of Stirling (thanks to samples). My all time favorite is Christmas Eve followed by Pumpkin Pie. I’m a sucker for seasonal scents. I’ve also been using their bath and facial soaps and this was my first winter that not only did I not feel like my skin was falling of, I didn’t have to use body lotion at all. Not once. It’s been a game changer for me. Keep the content coming!!
Thanks for watching Dan! I’m glad you enjoy the brand as much as I do and have similar favorites! I’ve been wanting to smell sharp dressed man and mountain man for quite some time now. I’m glad Stirling offers cheap samples of soap and splash, so I’m gonna pick those up at some point. And I too love seasonal offerings! Yeah their body soap is great, I always snag one when I buy a soap tub. It’s actual good soap and not the crap they sell at the supermarket so it just works really well. Stirling does everything amazing you gotta love it. Anyway thanks for your support and hope you enjoy your weekend!
My first shave soap was from PAA, but I went to Stirling for my next several because of how great a deal they were. I've got Baker Street, Gin & Tonic, Glacial Black Cherry, Almond Creme, and Frankincense & Myrrh and I love those. Probably Baker Street is my favorite, followed by Frankincense & Myrrh, and Gin & Tonic is right up there too especially for the summer, but they're all good IMO. I've also bought a lot of their bar soaps which I highly recommend as well, really high quality and a great way to test out the different scents.
Thanks for watching Marc! Yeah, Stirling easily has the best deals in the industry. 5.8 oz for 14 bucks is just insane. Great choices. Frankly I haven’t smelled any of those but I’ve heard great things about them. I’m sure I would enjoy frankincense and myrrh very much since I’m an earthy scent fan. I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I’m low on bath soap so I appreciate the reminder to stock up on some Stirling! Always great to test out scents with bath soaps, I couldn’t agree more. Appreciate you watching my friend and you enjoy the weekend :)
Favorite top picks of each brand is always interesting. Barbershop, Vanilla Sandalwood & Haverford are same line of cold weather sweet scents. Island Man is my favorite summer scent Stirling. Except Red Delicious & Christmass, I also have other 6 picks of yours. If I pick 8 of my favorite Stirling soaps.. 1.Sandpiper 2.Island Man 3.Piacenza 4.Haverford 5.Deep Blue Sea 6.Campania 7.Margaritas In The Arctic 8.Barbershop
Thanks for watching Hoon shaver! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it interesting! I'm happy to see that you enjoy a lot of the same soaps as I do. Great choices! I've heard a lot of good things about sandpiper so I'll probably get a sample of that one soon. Campania is nice, I had a sample of that and enjoyed it a lot. A few people on my last video mentioned they enjoyed margaritas in the arctic, so I have to add that one to the list as well. Thanks for sharing your list and for the support! Have a good weekend!
Thanks for watching, RC! Nice list. I got a sample of autumn glory and I do enjoy that one a lot. Very unique fall leaves type scent, real nice. The coconut and piacenza sound nice too, I know piacenza is a cologney type scent. Happy to hear you also are enjoying the brand! Take care and enjoy your week!
Thanks so much for watching bill! Appreciate your continued support! I’m glad you’re also in love with Christmas Eve like I am! Such a wonderful scent. I take whiffs of it all time time even when not shaving. It’s pretty unique also. Love the combination of the pine and vanilla/cranberry. One of the best scents Stirling has ever produced. Island man is a great summer scent but haverford is a banger. Amazing vanilla tobacco accord. I promise you would love it. Have a great day!
I always say when I'm using Barbershop, the scent takes me back to going on the army base with my dad to get my haircut, and it does I'm back at 3,4,5,6 7 years old while I use it its a beautiful scent .
Thanks for watching dude! That’s awesome that barbershop brings back those memories for you man. I I agree it’s a really nostalgic scent. It also reminds me of when I was a kid at my childhood barbershop. Smells just like it. Appreciate your support and have a good weekend man!
Thanks for watching, Red Island Shaver! Glad you enjoy them as well! And I agree, they must be super busy over there with that catalog size. Great company. You enjoy your weekend as well!
Hey robert! Thanks so much for watching! I actually just got the bath soap from Stirling in the scots pine sheep scent. I really enjoy it! Although I still like coniferous a bit more. Stirling is great with their pine scents. I’ll have to check out pino Silverstre at some point. Have a great week!
Thanks for watching Josh! Thanks man, glad you enjoyed watching! Yeah I’ve had my eye on the full tub and splash of island man as well. It’s also cool because the soap is blue. Tough to pass up at that price point. Thanks for watching and hope you have a good weekend 👍🏻
Hey Robert, thanks so much for the tip with the samples. That’s a great idea. Lately I’ve been using small plastic jars I’ve got off Amazon. I love the size of Stirling samples, they are very generous and it’s a great value. Can’t beat them.
Just subscribed. Happy to see another Stirling fan and someone who enjoys vintage razors. I can't relate to the channels that use overly expensive gear. My Stirling recommendations to try a sample puck of are: Satsuma, Almond Creme, black cherry, weekend in Malibu, Pharoah's Dreamsicle, and island man
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing Joe! And I’m also happy to hear you enjoy Stirling as much as I do! Yeah, it’s just tough to get on board with pricey gear when the cheaper end gear works just fine. All my razors and brushes are cheap and they perform beautifully and last forever. Thanks for sharing your recommendations. Satsuma and weekend in Malibu are definitely on my list. I have samples of island man and pharaohs dreamsicle and enjoy them both, especially island man. That’s one I would get the edp for as well. Thanks for your support dude and I hope you’re enjoying the weekend
Thanks for watching Tim! Yeah man I couldn’t agree more, Christmas Eve is a gorgeous scent. Glad you enjoy it as well! And I have a bar soap of executive man and it’s amazing I agree. Take care and have a good weekend!
Thanks for watching Drew! I couldn't agree more. Stirling just nails it on all cylinders. I'm glad to hear you're a big fan of them as well! Appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your week!
Hi Robert, thanks so much for watching! Yes, I absolutely agree with you. Stirling barbershop is my favorite scent of all time. They nailed the scent of my childhood barbershop. I’ve also smelled CAD and that’s another great one. Im so glad to hear you enjoy them! Have a great week!
Thanks for watching Stuart! That’s good to hear! Yeah I see a lot of international shavers (I live in the states) that use Stirling soap. It’s awesome that even for international folks it’s a great deal and that it’s available to them. Take care and have a good weekend!
Hey robert, thanks for watching! I don’t think vespers and Christmas Eve smells similar. Christmas Eve smells like a Christmas tree (pine and balsam) with some sweetness added form the vanilla and cranberry. Vespers is more complex and is made to smell like an entire Christmas village. Vespers smells sweet, creamy, fruity and earthy, definitely will remind you of Christmas. Both are amazing scents but Christmas Eve is more traditional.
How would you describe the difference with stirling sandalwood and vanilla sandalwood? And how the scent compares with proraso, tobs, or AoS sandalwood?
Thanks so much for watching. I’ve actually never tried Stirling sandalwood, but plan to at some point. Their samples are pretty cheap and a good size if you wanna snag one. Have a great week!
Great video! I'm new to wet shaving. I'm trying to find a good quality soap to shave my head and face. If you had to pick only one of all eight which one would it be and why?
Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate the kind words very much! I'm glad to hear you are deciding to get into the wetshaving world! It's a great hobby! Man, that's a tough question. Barbershop is my favorite scent of all time, so if course I will have to recommend that one. It's sweet and powdery, and smells just like my childhood barbershop. The aftershave smells even better, so make sure to pick that up as well. Christmas Eve would be my runner up recommendation. Should be coming out on the site soon. Can't recommend it enough. Have a great week ahead!
“Executive man” is their top selling scent and for a great reason. I would say it’s their #1 crowd pleaser. It’s a take on “creed aventus” cologne which has an awesome smoky pineapple type scent. Pretty much Everyone loves executive man. I would say this is a good one to start with. Again you can always get a few of their samples to try out their scents to see which ones you like.
Thanks so much for watching! You made a great choice! I love coniferous, it smells like a very real pine scent to me. Like the inside of a pine tree. Awesome masculine scent. Have a great new year!
Hi John, I actually haven't smelled any of Stirling's citrus offerings (except for pharaoh's dreamsicle, which is a nice orange and vanilla), but I imagine they are great and I know many other youtubers enjoy them a lot. Stirling offers pretty cheap samples that are a decent size, so I would recommend picking up a couple if you're curious. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the week!
I was so excited to perches this (Stirling Barbershop scent smell shave soap) and i tell you what i get nothing the smell is not there at all nothing but a raw soap smell no barber powder Lavender ect.. at all I am very Disappointed in this 1 coming from my favor shave soap company. Idk why people say this smells like a Barber shop all i got is a raw handmade soap with no scent oils in it at all .😥
Hi Archie, thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it a lot! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the barbershop scent. compared to other shaving soaps, the scent on barbershop is a bit on the lighter side. But you still should be able to pick up some powder and vanilla. I'm wondering if you just got a bad batch possibly? The scent is much more strong and present in the aftershave, which I highly recommend. Sorry again this purchase didn't work out for you. Reach out to Stirling. They have great customer service and are always willing to help. Take care now!
I love the Stirling soaps high quality product except for the Ben Franklin. The scent is horrible. Heavy nasty I hate it. Haven't thrown it out yet but I'm going to
Thanks so much for watching man! Totally agree! They are high quality at a killer price. I have a sample of Ben Franklin and I can see why it wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea. It’s definitely a strange scent, but I like it for some reason. Stirling took a different direction with that one. Hope you have a great weekend!
Best soaps available and for reasonable money from a small family owned business. Great people and outrageous customer service. I was a loyal TOBS user before I found Sterling.
Couldn’t agree more man. That’s why they have always been my number 1, even though I have soaps from many different artisans. Can’t beat Stirling.

yes today I used haverford great scent , also glastonburry is great as pachouli scent , there are a lot more of scents in stirling

Favorite top picks of each brand is always interesting. Barbershop, Vanilla Sandalwood & Haverford are same line of cold weather sweet scents.
Island Man is my favorite summer scent Stirling.
Except Red Delicious & Christmass, I also have other 6 picks of yours.
If I pick 8 of my favorite Stirling soaps..
1.Sandpiper 2.Island Man 3.Piacenza 4.Haverford 5.Deep Blue Sea 6.Campania 7.Margaritas In The Arctic 8.Barbershop
Thanks for watching Hoon shaver!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it interesting! I'm happy to see that you enjoy a lot of the same soaps as I do. Great choices! I've heard a lot of good things about sandpiper so I'll probably get a sample of that one soon. Campania is nice, I had a sample of that and enjoyed it a lot. A few people on my last video mentioned they enjoyed margaritas in the arctic, so I have to add that one to the list as well.
Thanks for sharing your list and for the support! Have a good weekend!
My top stirling a at the moment - Piacenza , Autumn glory , Christmas Eve and creamy coconut. I’m sure coniferous will be added to the list soon. RC 👍
Thanks for watching, RC!
Nice list. I got a sample of autumn glory and I do enjoy that one a lot. Very unique fall leaves type scent, real nice. The coconut and piacenza sound nice too, I know piacenza is a cologney type scent. Happy to hear you also are enjoying the brand!
Take care and enjoy your week!
Christmas Eve is my fav holiday scent with pine and other goodness. I’ll have to try Island Man and Haverford.
Thanks so much for watching bill! Appreciate your continued support! I’m glad you’re also in love with Christmas Eve like I am! Such a wonderful scent. I take whiffs of it all time time even when not shaving. It’s pretty unique also. Love the combination of the pine and vanilla/cranberry. One of the best scents Stirling has ever produced. Island man is a great summer scent but haverford is a banger. Amazing vanilla tobacco accord. I promise you would love it. Have a great day!

Some great scents from Stirling there. They definitely have a scent for everyone, absolutely massive catalog. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for watching, Red Island Shaver!
Glad you enjoy them as well! And I agree, they must be super busy over there with that catalog size. Great company. You enjoy your weekend as well!
@@DoubleAshaves you’re most welcome!! And yeah, I imagine they are quite busy, but as they say, busy is good!!
beside confinerous I have also scots pine sheep , very nice scent such as the pino silvestre after shave
Hey robert! Thanks so much for watching! I actually just got the bath soap from Stirling in the scots pine sheep scent. I really enjoy it! Although I still like coniferous a bit more. Stirling is great with their pine scents. I’ll have to check out pino Silverstre at some point. Have a great week!
Awesome video brother, I’m definitely gonna be picking up some Island man and bay rum 🍹!
Thanks for watching Josh!
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed watching! Yeah I’ve had my eye on the full tub and splash of island man as well. It’s also cool because the soap is blue. Tough to pass up at that price point.
Thanks for watching and hope you have a good weekend 👍🏻
some samples I have I put them in a aluminum can of 100 ml capacity, works very well
Hey Robert, thanks so much for the tip with the samples. That’s a great idea. Lately I’ve been using small plastic jars I’ve got off Amazon. I love the size of Stirling samples, they are very generous and it’s a great value. Can’t beat them.
Great overview - helpful
Thanks for watching Tim! Happy you enjoyed the video! Stirling is amazing soap, my favorite to this day. Have a great week!
Just subscribed. Happy to see another Stirling fan and someone who enjoys vintage razors. I can't relate to the channels that use overly expensive gear. My Stirling recommendations to try a sample puck of are: Satsuma, Almond Creme, black cherry, weekend in Malibu, Pharoah's Dreamsicle, and island man
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing Joe!
And I’m also happy to hear you enjoy Stirling as much as I do! Yeah, it’s just tough to get on board with pricey gear when the cheaper end gear works just fine. All my razors and brushes are cheap and they perform beautifully and last forever. Thanks for sharing your recommendations. Satsuma and weekend in Malibu are definitely on my list. I have samples of island man and pharaohs dreamsicle and enjoy them both, especially island man. That’s one I would get the edp for as well.
Thanks for your support dude and I hope you’re enjoying the weekend
Christmas Eve is sooooo good! My other tops are dupes, deton-8 and executive man.
Thanks for watching Tim!
Yeah man I couldn’t agree more, Christmas Eve is a gorgeous scent. Glad you enjoy it as well! And I have a bar soap of executive man and it’s amazing I agree.
Take care and have a good weekend!
Considering price point, performance, and scent strength Stirling truly is hard to beat across the board.
Thanks for watching Drew!
I couldn't agree more. Stirling just nails it on all cylinders. I'm glad to hear you're a big fan of them as well!
Appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your week!
@@DoubleAshaves thanks mate awesome, hope you have a great week too!
this barbershop together with phoenix CAD are real barbershop scent as I remember my youth maybe due to the talc powder , regards from mexico
Hi Robert, thanks so much for watching! Yes, I absolutely agree with you. Stirling barbershop is my favorite scent of all time. They nailed the scent of my childhood barbershop. I’ve also smelled CAD and that’s another great one. Im so glad to hear you enjoy them! Have a great week!
Stirling soaps even in the UK they are good value quality products 👍🧼🧴💈
Thanks for watching Stuart!
That’s good to hear! Yeah I see a lot of international shavers (I live in the states) that use Stirling soap. It’s awesome that even for international folks it’s a great deal and that it’s available to them.
Take care and have a good weekend!
Does Christmas Eve smell similar to Vespers from Barrister & Mann? Huge fan of Vespers and Lavanille from B&M!
Hey robert, thanks for watching! I don’t think vespers and Christmas Eve smells similar. Christmas Eve smells like a Christmas tree (pine and balsam) with some sweetness added form the vanilla and cranberry. Vespers is more complex and is made to smell like an entire Christmas village. Vespers smells sweet, creamy, fruity and earthy, definitely will remind you of Christmas. Both are amazing scents but Christmas Eve is more traditional.
How would you describe the difference with stirling sandalwood and vanilla sandalwood? And how the scent compares with proraso, tobs, or AoS sandalwood?
Thanks so much for watching. I’ve actually never tried Stirling sandalwood, but plan to at some point. Their samples are pretty cheap and a good size if you wanna snag one. Have a great week!
Great video! I'm new to wet shaving. I'm trying to find a good quality soap to shave my head and face. If you had to pick only one of all eight which one would it be and why?
Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate the kind words very much! I'm glad to hear you are deciding to get into the wetshaving world! It's a great hobby! Man, that's a tough question. Barbershop is my favorite scent of all time, so if course I will have to recommend that one. It's sweet and powdery, and smells just like my childhood barbershop. The aftershave smells even better, so make sure to pick that up as well. Christmas Eve would be my runner up recommendation. Should be coming out on the site soon. Can't recommend it enough. Have a great week ahead!
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations. I will definitely get those soaps for my wet shaves.
Hey guys, if you have to choose, witch of the following Stirlings would you prefer?
SANDALWOOD or
VANILLA SANDALWOOD?
If I had to purchase one scent to try that would definitely sell me on Stirling, which one would you recommend?
Hey Logan! Thanks for watching! Hmm that depends. They have a huge catalogue of scents. What type of scents are you into?
“Executive man” is their top selling scent and for a great reason. I would say it’s their #1 crowd pleaser. It’s a take on “creed aventus” cologne which has an awesome smoky pineapple type scent. Pretty much Everyone loves executive man. I would say this is a good one to start with. Again you can always get a few of their samples to try out their scents to see which ones you like.
Picked up coniferous today. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks so much for watching! You made a great choice! I love coniferous, it smells like a very real pine scent to me. Like the inside of a pine tree. Awesome masculine scent. Have a great new year!
You can't go wrong with Stirling
Thanks for watching Jon!
Yeah I agree, can’t go wrong at all. They excel in every area. Take care and enjoy your week!
How are the citrusy scents like lemon, lime, pineapple, etc?
Hi John,
I actually haven't smelled any of Stirling's citrus offerings (except for pharaoh's dreamsicle, which is a nice orange and vanilla), but I imagine they are great and I know many other youtubers enjoy them a lot. Stirling offers pretty cheap samples that are a decent size, so I would recommend picking up a couple if you're curious.
Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the week!
Well Done
Thanks for watching autumn!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Take care and have a good weekend!
I was so excited to perches this (Stirling Barbershop scent smell shave soap) and i tell you what i get nothing the smell is not there at all nothing but a raw soap smell no barber powder Lavender ect.. at all I am very Disappointed in this 1 coming from my favor shave soap company. Idk why people say this smells like a Barber shop all i got is a raw handmade soap with no scent oils in it at all .😥
Hi Archie, thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it a lot! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the barbershop scent. compared to other shaving soaps, the scent on barbershop is a bit on the lighter side. But you still should be able to pick up some powder and vanilla. I'm wondering if you just got a bad batch possibly? The scent is much more strong and present in the aftershave, which I highly recommend. Sorry again this purchase didn't work out for you. Reach out to Stirling. They have great customer service and are always willing to help. Take care now!
I love the Stirling soaps high quality product except for the Ben Franklin. The scent is horrible. Heavy nasty I hate it. Haven't thrown it out yet but I'm going to
Thanks so much for watching man! Totally agree! They are high quality at a killer price. I have a sample of Ben Franklin and I can see why it wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea. It’s definitely a strange scent, but I like it for some reason. Stirling took a different direction with that one. Hope you have a great weekend!
