This was first trip to the Stirling Barbershop and will not be my last. I could use this soap everyday and be completely happy. My wife and I both love the scent....my wife is not always as fond of the scents I choose. The performance of this soap was fantastic as well. I can see why the Stirling Syndicate is such a popular thread now. My entire shave was fantastic today Almost BBS but settled for DFS rather than getting possible irritation from one more pass.
