    I'm liking the Stirling owners as I watch videos about them - former military, hard business workers, not trying to rip people off. Just watched your interview with the couple.
    And I ordered a sample pack of shaving soaps from them. It's going to be good. I already had their Barbershop soap.
    I was researching and studying which shaving soap to get and I just kept coming back to Stirling. There one of the companies that are sticking with Tallow ingredients.

    If I could only use ONE soap artisan, it would be Stirling without a doubt.
    From the quality of the soap, to the massive selection of scents that they have available, not to mention the PRICE.
    Stirling really can't be beat.

    Stirling is incredible for the "wannabe" hobbyist like me. While I have some nice gear and quite a few soaps, I love the idea of using different scents every day. Stirling allows me to do that without spending a ton of cash on full tubs I'll never see the bottom of. Every few months I order my samples and the occasional full tub/edt and I get to feel like CDB with a den full of product. Thanks stirling, I hope you all read this and realize what an amazing product you supply

    Stirling is one of my absolute favorite companies. I have 2 shave soaps, 25 aftershaves, 13 balms, 10 bath soaps, 2 brushes, I've gone through 6 lip balms(they are the best I've ever used), refined and unrefined shea butter, and a razor head. And more to come in the future I'm sure 😆 👍. I'm happy to see this Stirling "spotlight" video!
    Looking forward to the next Artisan video! Have a good one!

      Unrefined and refined shea butter which one would you recommend? I’m curious about the difference of their smell and how shea butter feels versus balms as a post shaved product.

    • @drunkn711
      @drunkn711 2 роки тому +2

      @@enigmatic_lee I gave the unrefined to my mom, so I don't remember how it is. The refined doesn't have much of a scent and is quit firm like a putty and takes a little while to get it worked into the skin. It's good if your skin is really dried out. I will say that Stirling's balms are good quality, and they do offer a unscented balm if you just wanted one to go with whatever soap and splash you go for.
      I hope that helps!

    Agreed in full. Great products, great value, great service and great people.
    Bought a tub of the orange chill a while back on a whim and was blown away. Completely changed what I knew to be a great lather. And I'm a sucker for menthol and nothing (in my experience) compares to the Spearmint and Wintergreen for an amazingly refreshing and cooling experience. Hot summer day? A cold water head shave with either of the aforementioned soaps and the accompanying splash and or witch hazel and I'm cool and tingly for an hour or so.
    Thank you, Stirling.

    Love me some Stirling. It was my first artisan soap. One of the things I really love about their scents is Rod just goes, "That smells good, going with this." He doesn't pull a "Wine Taster" and talk about notes that may or may not be there. Just straight up, this smells like (insert scent here). Absolutely no pretension in any of Stirling's Products.

    Stirling was one of my first artisan soaps, and now I have, well in some minds too much, but not in my world. I recently purchased some of their antibacterial serum and shared it with my wife and she loved it and took the bottle to work, where she shared it with her co-workers who raved about it. Anyway, if it has the name STIRLING SOAP CO. on it, I'll try it and most likely love it. I can't wait for their coffee, cheers Chris for sharing, and to Rod, Mandy and family.

    STUNNING results! WOW. Tallow is definitely for me. And the aftershave scents are incredible. Deep Sea Blue is amazing. Scent on the soap if medium at best, but great to pair with the after shave. I'm literally floored how good this stuff is. Better than TOBS and Capt Choice IMHO. Stirling lifer here.

    I think I have some soaps from other artisans that might have a bit of that side odor going on. Makes me wonder if they are going through the growing pains that Stirling went through. Stirling is so good. The only soap maker I have felt confident in drop shipping to friends and family

      Shave 326 Yeah, this is highly subjective. I ordered 2 of Mike’s natural shaving soaps because everyone said they are great are quality. They were really expensive here in Australia but unfortunately I can’t stand them. I smell a strange side odour in both that is not pleasant 🙁

    I just ordered 9 one ounce "samples". THIS is the way the entire industry should do it. 4-5-6 ounces is a size that came from a different era. Today, wet shaving is a hobby. And everyone is accumulating more stuff than they'll ever use, OR people just shy away from trying new things because it gets too expensive. 1 or 2 ounce sizes should be offered by all.

    • @IAMCDB

    I started DE shaving 4 months ago and luckily found Sterling early, their UK distributor is really good in terms of range and service compared to most the of the other US artisans and availability is pretty good as long as your not after a tub of Boat Drinks. I now have 5 soaps, 4 of their Witchazel and Aloes (Can’t recommend these strongly enough fwiw) and 3 EDT’s. Some other products have gone in the back of the cupboard or in the bin as I’ve worked out what works for me and my skin but everything Sterling has just flat out performed from day 1.

    Great Video, and I could not agree more. I don't consider myself a very sensitive person, but I have very sensitive skin. I have used many different soaps ranging in price and "quality". Some irritate my skin for hours some for a couple of days (I'm looking at you Arko), some just for a few minutes (which for me is good). However with Stirling so far I have had no irritation. I have about 6 different soaps, as well as aftershaves, and some body soaps. They are all wonderful, and non-irritating! I also love there ETDs, highly recommend Varen, and Glastonbury.

    I've seen Stirling soaps many times on You Tube, mostly with the US shavers, and assumed with it been made in the US, it was only stocked over there (as a lot of stuff is). I'm in the UK and had a quick look online for UK stockist. There's not many, but I did see a UK stockist of them. I'll definitely have to put the Executive Man on my ones to try, as I love the smell of Wickham Soap Classic 24 (which is inspired from Creed Aventus). Very reasonably priced as well for such a large tub.

    • @dsr9863
      @dsr9863 4 роки тому +1

      Shaving Time Co (shavingtime.co.uk) is the UK stockist for Stirling, I believe. But have a look at Maggard Razors in the US as well, especially if you’re after other US artisan soaps as well, they have a huge range. Depending on how many soaps you want to purchase, you might find that it’s cheaper to purchase there, even with paying shipping from US (due to exchange rate, etc), but the delivery will obviously take a bit longer to the UK.
      I’ve ordered many times from them, great company. They now say delivery can take up to 75 days due to COVID-19 delays, etc, but in reality it’s about 2-3 weeks, and you get a tracking number so you can follow its progress.

      Usually for a 4oz tub of Wickham soap (who are a UK artisan) these are around £15. A 5.8oz of Stirling soap only cost £15.40. Excellent value for money and certainly gets two thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻 on my price list 😉.
      Really looking forward to trying them out and having some other artisan soaps in my den (the only other soaps I have are Wickham). It will be interesting to try a tallow based soap, as my only other soap (Wickham) is vegetal based. Be interesting to see how they differ.

Obviously it wasn’t Noble Otters fault but I still sent an email over to them to see if anything could be done. Within 12 hours I got a responses and they said they were going to replace everything!
