It's great soap made by great people. I am a huge Stirling fan.

Good to know. I have a couple of tubs on the way.
Me too, I always have a puck of Stirling in my Marvy mug
I am kind of excited. I am working through about a dozen different pucks of the old formula, and always thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. The idea that I am going to be able to replace them with something even better is awesome.
I was never the biggest fan of Stirling Soaps because I always thought they omitted a funny scent. I thought I would try the new improved formula and I believe they are a lot better. The tubs are a great and welcome edition.
100%. Stirling = Quality soap/balms/aftershaves.
Slick and cheap. Their summer scents are fantastic. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the autumn.
I think I need some Orange Chill.
I have a tub coming (hoping it ships soon!?) And eagerly awaiting my first Stirling experience.
Nope, not even a little bit.
I use a sopping brush, load for about 30 seconds, to the bowl for about 90 seconds. Mounds of wonderful, billowing lather! I use this same technique on all soaps with great success, been using it off and on for forty years, long before YouTube or B&B.
So yesterday I tried the Iced Pineapple soap. This thing smells awesome. I loaded my boar brush and bowl lathered. I lathered for like a minute and I got a nice creamy substance. I proceeded to put it on my face and it still smelled nice. My face after like a minute started feeling really cool and I liked it. It felt cold and the soap made my fingers slippery and the razor glide. It was a comfortable shave. Of course it was a cool shave. I did a second pass and it made my face cool again. I liked it as I like menthol soaps. I wet my face with cold water so if felt extra cold. Then Nivea AS and my face did feel nice the whole day.
Overall I give this soap like a 8/10
Lather ability 7/10
glide 9/10
smell 10/10
thickness of lather 8/10
presentation of Tub 9/10
cost 7/10

I got a sample of Nag Champa, unscented, Texas on Fire and Ozark Mountains. The OM was intoxicating. I did not care for the enormous amount of scent in the others (sans unscented)
I am loving the new jars and having the soap (same soap) poured into them.
Wow - I like the new containers.
I have a metal one that I was using for another soap, and it started developing little black spots on it. I though it was aluminium and it couldn't rust?

Big Stirling fan here. Like the new containers. Biggest issue is getting through all the Summer scents before the Fall/ Winter ones come out. There are not enough shave days left..
Well I ordered some Stirling shave soaps for this first time and am looking forward to trying their Lemon Chill and Wintergreen Glacial.
Nice review, RJ. Stirling is definitely one of my mainstays.

Best value in artisan soap, I love Iced Pineapple.
It is a great value, but it does take me a while to get through nearly 6 ounces, and I love the way the tins stack. True to form, Stirling gives us the option of tubs or refill pucks, and I'm grateful for it!
