    Stirling is one of my favorite soaps in my rotation, the only one I have is Strawberry lemonade, but mountain man sounds like a scent profile I would like. I really like your channel, I saw you use the Yaqi barber pole brush in a bunch of your videos, and I liked it so much I went out and bought one, it’s amazing, my favorite brush I have owned. I love your channel, it’s really just relaxing to watch and listen. Thanks for what you do, and keep up the great work!

      Thanks so much for watching Kevlar Bears! I very much appreciate your time and the kind, encouraging words about my content! Very happy to hear you've been enjoying the videos! Awesome that you got the barber pole brush! So glad you like it! I always praise yaqi and their affordable, well performing brushes. They are just the best. Also glad to see you're also a Stirling fan! Haven't smelled strawberry lemonade, but sounds like an awesome summer scent. Keep on shaving on my man!! Have a great week!!

    Hey. Nice one. I agree, just like you're saying if Stirling was the only soap I could use for the rest of my life I'd be more than happy. This is one of my favorite scents by them of the ones I've tried. I do not buy the mathing splash for each and every soap I own but I did buy this splash. Have a good rest of your weekend

    Hi, Aaron, it was nice & interesting shave with Stirling Mountain Man set.
    I like this kind of shave video, because your honest & free talking opinion about soap scent.
    I like this Maountain Man scent & Stirling Sopa Company. Not so cologney but acceptable to everage person.
    It's definitely piney woody scent. I also like its green tea scent.
    Your mention of Ozark Mountain, Coniferous as same kind of piney Stirling soap, I agree.
    Island Man & Mountain Man soaps are my top two Man series Stirling soap for me to introduce to my friends.
    Have a great week, Aaron!

      Hi Hoon! Thanks so much for watching my shave! I appreciate your kind words! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Glad you also enjoy the scent of Mountain Man. I agree with your description, not overly cologney but rather pleasant and inviting. I think most people would enjoy the scent of it. I definitely pick up the green tea note. Stirling has a great line of pine scents. I have coniferous and find it to be a more natural pine scent than ozark mountain. I also love Island man. Take care and have a great week!

    Nice 👍🏻. WSP made a version of that last year that I picked up. Love that scent. Apparently the perfumer that made Silver Mountain Water was inspired by his time in the Himalayas. Creed Himalaya was also apparently inspired by that experience.

      Thanks so much for watching Ben! Appreciate you stopping by! Thanks again for turning me onto Mountain Man. Out of the Creed dupes I've smelled, Mountain Man is easily my favorite. Fresh, clean, unique and not overpowering. It's really darn good. That's neat, I didn't know that about the perfumer. I need to sample Ramblin Man again. I got a bath soap sample of it like a year ago and remember it smelling pretty good. By the way I got a free Cliffs of Moher sample with my SFWS set from M&M. I dig it, it smells like a spicier version of Irish Springs from PAA which is awesome. Looking forward to lathering it up. Have a great day!

  • @BetterEveryShave
    @BetterEveryShave Год назад +1

    I'm pretty sure I thought this was a pine scent too. I'll have to grab sample. Atrás Blue is way better for me than Green. Stainless blades tend to be more gentle. Stirling is amazing but I wish their aftershaves were more like PAA. PAA's leave my face absolutely perfect. It must be the aloe...not sure. In general, I prefer PAA over Stirling but you pay a premium for it. I'm with you though. If it were my only soap I wouldn't complain. Funny enough, they are like the bargain brand with an older base but it's still easier to use and works better for me than almost any other brand. I forgot about commenting on that and you're right about watching how others do things. I have literally learned everything I know from watching someone on RUclips and then practicing. That goes for more than shaving as well! Thanks for the enjoyable video. I appreciate you taking the time to make it, and to read my looong comment haha!

      Thanks so much for watching Eric! Always appreciate you and your support man!! I think you would enjoy mountain man. It’s not trying to be anything funky, it just smells clean and fresh. I gotta say, the Astra blues here felt really good. Maybe you’re onto something with the stainless blade thing. It’s fascinating to me how many different brands make blades. Makes for some fun experimenting. Yeah, with PAA you’re paying a premium for sure, but like you said it’s for the added skin food/ingredients. I do notice a slightly better post shave feeling with those splashes with more stuff in them. Yeah, great description of Stirling. Great value and also incredibly easy to use. I noticed early on in the hobby that Stirling consistently worked great for me, more than any other base. And I like their philosophy that if a base works well, no need to update it. It’s just plain good man haha. Best price to performance ratio there is in my opinion. Thanks again for your kind words man and I’m happy you’ve been enjoying the videos! Appreciate the encouragement to keep doing more. Have a great week brother 😎

    Happy Easter Aaron. That handle is a beast. Your lather always looks so perfect regardless of the brand. Without fail I always see little soap pieces on my face. Doesn't affect the shave though. Just finished two soaps and debating what I'll get next. Hope all is going well in your life.

      Hello my friend! :). Thanks so much for all your time and support on my content! Always appreciate you stopping by! Hope you had a great Easter! Yeah man, I dig this handle haha. Don't see many shavers using it. They're just missing out. Thanks, frankly I like to take a lot of time with the lather process, but I'm in the hobby for comfort and not speed, so it's okay with me. Yeah, some soaps are flakier than others. Maybe if you really mash down the soap good in your bowl, that could reduce the issue. But that happens to me from time to time also. Like you said doesn't make a difference in the shave. Let me know what your next purchase is! Too many great brands to choose from. All is well! Hope you have a good week!

      @@DoubleAshaves Yes....way too many brands. Not sure why but I want to try the Fine brand. I'm thinking the one called Clubman or something. Supposed to be a nostalgic scent. At my ripe old age I get a little nostalgic at times. Been wearing my Dad's WWII dog tags lately. Blows me away that he wore them in the jungles of New Guinea almost 80 years ago. Wish I had his shave kit from the war. I'm 66 now and I have a 12 year old son. Nobody believes that his grandfather was in WWII.

      @@autumn1231 Funny, I've been wanting to try Fine as well. I do enjoy that classic barbershop/clubman type scent. I think their "American Blend" and "Clubhouse" scents are supposed to be real nice old school classic barbershop scents. Let me know what you think if you get it. Very cool about your father! Men back then were strong and brave. Crazy what a lot of them went through to fight for our country. God bless them.

I've heard countless stories of people who've had great experiences with them. He sent me the wrong order a while ago (only happened once) which consisted of 3 bath soaps and the executive man deodorant.

    Mountain Man is a lovely scent from Stirling (I have a sample), I actually enjoy that Stirling has quite a range of cologne scents. Lovely lather Aaron, Stirling always gives a great lather. Stirling is the only non-Australian Artisan that has a dedicated online site here in Aus with a large range of Stirling's products. Even though that razor's handle looks really cool I'd have a bit of difficulty shaving with the heavy weight, you may have noticed I use a lot of Aluminum razors and that's for a reason (arm & hand issues, old age I guess). The most I've spent on a razor is US$100 and that's rare, 80% of my razors are less than US$50 (I have about 30) and many a lot less. Take care Aaron and Happy Easter.👍🤠

      Hey Lawrie! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! I appreciate your continued support on my channel! I'm really glad to see you also enjoy Mountain Man. It's truly a phenomenal scent. Yeah, for the cologne scent fans Stirling really has a great array of options. I'm surprised at how many of the Creed dupes I really enjoy. What a treat it is that they offer those Creed scents at these prices! Did not know that they had an Australian site! How cool is that! Good point about the heavy handle. I could totally see the weight being a turnoff for a lot of people. I'm happy to hear that the light aluminum razors work well for you. We have similar habits when it comes to razor spending. And I love all my razors to death, so I see no point in dropping lots on a razor that performs the same. Hope you enjoyed your Easter! Enjoy your week!

    Thank you so much for making this video! I have both the entire mountain man and executive man lines in my cart but my wife says I can only pick one right now…. Haha. She likes executive man better but I’m leaning towards mountain man… my only concern though is that combing through the reviews on this is product, there are claims that it is too “floral”. Which I really want to avoid. Any floral vibes anyone actually pick up from this? Thank you!

      @DoubleAshaves  Год назад +1

      You're very welcome!! Thanks so much for watching! Very glad to see you enjoyed the video! Sorry for the late response here. I very much enjoy both executive man as well as mountain man. Executive man is a real nice smoky pineapple type scent that's based on creed aventus. Which is an extremely popular and awesome, crowd pleasing cologne. Mountain man is based on creeds silver mountain water and I don't get floral vibes from it. I get the orange, green tea and black currant, which is a berry. Really well blended. To my nose it's a bright, crisp and aquatic vibe. Picture a mountain lake with some brightness and green in the background. I personally prefer mountain man, but both are good. Have a great week.
