Stirling Soap Co. Sandpiper Shaving Soap, 5.8oz

New wet shaver here. I started with Proraso red soap and I really liked it. It's probably not a fair comparison but after using Stirling soap I understand what Residual Slickness is, and I feel it protects the skin better, I can repeatedly shave the same area without feeling skin irritation. Also the Post shave is great, It doesn't dry the skin. It almost feels like I didn't shave. Oh, and you don't need to heavy load the brush, about 15's with a synthetic brush and I had 3 pass head + 3 pass face shave. This soap's going to last a long time. Every wet shaver got to try Stirling Soap.

Can't judge how close it is to YSL La Nuit de l’Homme, but as a shaving soap this one has a classic, manly smell to it. Pretty much as advertised.
