Many other wet shaving enthusiasts have raved about Stirling soaps, and I am in total agreement. In terms of the price point, you are NOT going to find a better product.
I just shaved with this soap this morning (I received this and some other items from Maggards last night). The gear I used along with this amazing soap were the Maggards 26 inch synthetic shave brush (fantastic brush), Merkur Slant brush with Feather blade, and matching Stirling Bergamot Lavender AS splash (the with hazel one).
Holy crap, this soap is redonk. Everything about this soap is $$. Amazing lather, great scent, fantastic performance. This is my first Stirling soap, and it is DEFINITELY not going to be my last. The main reasons I decided to finally try these soaps are all the bomb reviews, and watching Mantic59's interview with Rod Lovan. I loved everything he said, and once I found out he was in the military (the Army), I was sold. I am a huge advocate of our military and I figured I would help support their business.
Honestly, I already cannot wait to try more Stirling soaps. The only negative I have regarding this soap is that I waited too damn long to try it. Thank you Stirling, and thank you Maggards for having so many of their amazing soaps in stock, and for helping to support our Veterans. Rock on.
