Sterling Pre-shave soap?

[Chuckaluck]

Picked up a bar of Stering's pre-shave soap this week. I like it very much so far. Anyone else use this as a pre shave?

If your referring to Stirling soaps, no it looks like it's just an unscented bar soap with a high glycerine content.

I think PAA 2.0 cube, Nivea and a few others probably have that software locked down.

I have a bar of menthol, rub it on my wet face (or head), add a bit more water to create a thin lather with my hands, then lather on top of it with my brush and shaving soap...occasionally.

I'm not sure it works any better than using any other quality soap for a pre-shave wash, as my shaves feel the same.

I tried the Stirling preshave bar but noticed no improvement with my shave. The PAA Cube made a noticable improvement so I've switched to that.

I've been using my Stirling pre-shave for the past few weeks.... I have noticed, it lathers OK if I use a Lot of it.... I have it melted into a Captain's Choice Soap Locker and apply with a brush.... I had been using the Cube 2.0, also melted into another Soap Locker.... I doubt I'll be buying another puck from Stirling... I love their unscented soap with beeswax.. and their Sheep unscented... But I prefer how the Cube 2.0 lathers.

I have tried using and not using pre-shaves..... They make a difference for me, but others find no difference... It's one of those subjective YMMV things. I also find the Grooming Department's and the Baume.be pre-shave to be marvelous... But they are a bit more expensive...
