Artisan & Vendor Spotlight #1 - Stirling Soap Company 

your stuff is amazing we use it all and even give it at xmas gifts. At xmas time people are excited to see what they will get.

Thanks Rod & Mandy, I really appreciate it. Wishing you many more years of success!

My number one soap company, for value, variety, performance...where do I stop? Have also used your shampoo bars and they are equally fantastic. Splashes too. :)

Thank You Rod & Mandy for your dedication & service to the Shave Community! You guys are my favorite Soap Company!

Stirling is the best in their products and customer service,... I'm a huge fan. always send me samples every time I order and write thank notes on the Invoice and I really appreciate it Thank you very much Stirling and Chris as always of course and keep the great work guys. 👍👍

Totally agree. It is really the best.

It would be a very good choice I think Dan.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate it. I agree, Stirling makes great stuff!

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.

@@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!

Thanks Devon. I agree with you 100%

I'm glad you enjoyed it Danilo. I hope you continue to enjoy these products.

@@IAMCDB for sure, the collection begins..... Grazie

@@danilobernaschina1842 have a great day sir!

@@IAMCDB Hi Chris I could not find your review muhle Rocca also known as R94, 95, or 96, did you try it?

You really can't go wrong with Stirling I think:)

Thanks so much for the comment Dan, I appreciate it.

@@IAMCDB thank you for giving the attention and respect they deserve.

100% agree!

I hope you enjoy it brother!

Thanks GG, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Chris, I appreciate it.

Thanks Randall, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Sam, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Dave, I'm definitely looking forward to doing more of these videos.

Excellent, I'm so glad you're pleased Vince.

Thanks Brian, I appreciate it.

100% agree Jeff.

@@IAMCDB oh thank you🙌 I definitely shall😄

Thanks Chris, I appreciate it. You can't really go wrong with Stirling IMO:)

I agree Jess, it has all you need in a product.

Thanks sir! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying Island Man. I need to pick up some of that myself.

Thanks Sam, I really enjoy these products.

100% agree Chris.

Thanks Lyle, I appreciate it.

100% agree BB!

Thanks Seth. I agree, it's hard to go wrong with Stirling. I didn't get much time on the beach but I enjoyed the time I had on it.

Thanks Unc, I appreciate it.

Thanks Matti, I really appreciate it.

IAMCDB 🤘😃🤘

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate it. I agree with you, they are great even without the unicorn Milk.

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 🙁

It could very well be KK. Sometimes the tallow or the way soaps are made can cause this dirty sock kinda side odor.

Thanks sir, I really appreciate it. I agree, if it carries the name Stirling it's probably worth trying.

Thanks Uzair, I really appreciate it.

Hahah, that's a good problem to have Turre:)

Thanks William, I hope you enjoy those products. God bless!

Thanks Randall, I really appreciate it.

Awesome Sir, I hope you enjoy it. If you haven't seen my spotlight interview with Stirling check it out. I think you'd enjoy it.

Thanks Gordon, I really enjoy these products.

I can't disagree with you Sean. They have great products all around and they come at a very decent price.

Thanks Mark, I appreciate it.

Thanks Lee, I appreciate it.

Agreed, they are terrific folks. You can't really go wrong buying from them.

IAMCDB Chris, have you tried their EDTs? I’m thinking about trying Sharp Dressed Man, Executive Man among possibly other scents!

@@brianthefloridian6254 I haven't. I'm sure I will at some point:)

I agree sir. Have you seen my spotlight interview with them?

@@IAMCDB Not yet, but I'll have to check it out.

@@rickwebermusic Please do, I think you'll enjoy it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0gG447Gz46I.html

I agree DH!

100% agree Tim, they make some great stuff.

Definitely give them a go Ronald!

You would love Fine Italian Citrus.

@@BrettzGaming56 I was piffed a brand new Fine Italian Citrus soap and there was hardly any scent. I say stick with Stirling.

It's a great one, no doubt.

Joseph Tringone really? I’m suprised.. my tub of Italian Citrus and all of my other Fine soaps and aftershaves are some of the strongest smelling in my entire den. Maybe you got a bad one.

@@BrettzGaming56 You may be right!

Thanks Allen, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Brett, I really appreciate it.

I agree, it's a top notch vendor for sure.

I totally agree sir.

I use them a lot myself. They are very hard to beat for the money.

Oh yes, they have amazing products.

I agree, it's hard to go wrong with Stirling. Thanks so much for watching sir!

I do as well sir. I'd love to see this available all over the world.

Yes sir, you qualify Joe:)

100% agree Marc. I wish more vendors would do what they do.

I hope you enjoy it Samier!

Thanks Evan, I look forward to doing more of these videos.

100% agree:)

It is indeed, thanks so much for watching Nate.

I'm so glad you're pleased with it Wilmer.

Thanks David, I appreciate it:)

Thanks Marco, I appreciate it my friend.

Ma tu sei dappertutto

I agree Bradley, it's a great company.

I agree totally, the samples are the best in the business.

It's really great stuff for sure IMO.

I agree:)

Thanks Don. I'm so glad you enjoy the stirling products. They are great and are always a great value.

They are definitely worth trying Rick.

Haha, they do need to make one called Unicorn Milk:)

Thanks Mohammed, I'll have to try it.

Awesome Joseph! I’m so glad you enjoy Stirling. Check out my interview with Rod and Mandy from Stirling and I think you’ll enjoy it.

They have a little of everything for sure.

I wouldn't mind if they had smaller sizes in addition to the other sizes. I like that Stirling offers the 1oz samples, they are great!

I can't recall if I've ever tried their sheep tallow or not to be honest.

That's awesome Nicholas, I'm glad to hear it.

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.

You will love Executive Man. Smells so good!

@@dsr9863 Thanks very much for the link for Shaving Time. I had a look on there a few hours ago and ordered Executive Man and Orange Chill (I decided to get the matching post shave balms to). Really good selection of Stirling products. I found Shaving Time/Stirling very reasonably priced as well and even a little bit better value than the UK artisans I've used. (due to Stirling's larger 5.8oz tubs over the usual 4oz tubs of my other artisan soaps). Thanks again 😀👍🏼

Definitely give them a try if you can sir.

IAMCDB I managed to get some ordered from a UK stockist of them. Thanks to the link DS R provided in an earlier comment. I ordered Executive Man and Orange Chill (I decided to get the matching post shave balms to). I found Shaving Time/Stirling very reasonably priced as well and even a little bit better value than the UK artisans I've used (due to Stirling's larger 5.8oz tubs over the usual 4oz tubs of my other artisan soaps). 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.

Satsuma is one of my absolute favorites:)

I hope you enjoy it sir!

Thanks so much for watching Teri.

IAMCDB 👍🏻

I believe you're right Jim, thanks so much.

Nice! I hope you enjoy it sir.

@@IAMCDB thanks, I’ll let you know, btw i like your videos, you’re doing a good job, i’m new to wet shaving, i enjoy your videos, i don’t know much about stirling soap but they have great reviews all over the internet.

@@philip5277 Thanks so much sir and welcome! We’re so glad to have you. If you have any questions feel free to ask:)

Haha, thanks Kenny. When someone says this I know they're an old school viewers. I also recognize your name. Thanks for coming by again:)

As do I my friend:)

I won't argue with you on that one:)

Michael Shults I love it as well!

Thanks so much Michael, I appreciate it.

Piacenza is awesome, I agree!

Hey Steve. I had a sample of Ben Franklin and I didn't care for it. That's just me though:)

Thanks Patrick, I'll have to try that one.

You're right, I need to get the lime:)

Excellent observations Mike. I agree with your takes:)

@@IAMCDB I am HUMBLED by your praise, sir! 😔 So, you agree that “Barbershop” puts you in mind of a fresh bakery? 🍪🤔

@@mikekisonu6825 I think the Stirling one in particular has that sort of quality to it. To me it has a vanilla vibe.
