Thread: Stirling soap-samples or full pucks?

I'm planning to purchase a few soaps from Stirling. If I purchase full pucks I will only be able to afford about 3 of them. If I purchase samples I can get a much larger variety.
On the website the samples are listed as about 2 oz. Since a lot of soaps come in a 2.5 oz size, that sounds quite generous to me.
Has anyone purchased their samples and can you tell me how long one of them lasts? It seems to me it might be smart to purchase a bunch of samples first, find out which ones I really, really like, before I make full puck purchases. Your thoughts and experiences are much appreciated.

I'm thinking

Spice
Sharp Dressed Man
Sandalwood
Ozark Mountain
Margarittas in the Arctic
Lemony Orange
Lavender Sage
Bonaparte
Ben Franklin
Barbershop

The people at stirling make great soap. The samples last aloooooooooooong time. I'm in love with the glacial winter green. It will freeze your face off.

Yep, samples for sure.

I have a bunch of Stirling soaps as you know. Two of my favorites are Margaritas in the Arctic and Ozark Mountain. Be sure to order a bar of Rod's bath soap to try also. It is excellent too.

Yeah, their samples are very generous and economical. Get a bunch and have a ball-been meaning to order a bunch myself!

Darn you guys, just went to the site and registered, just waiting for an invoice with the shipping cost...picked 21 samples to try....Oh gawd....

LOL! SSSAD(shavingsoap sample acquisition disorder).

Well.........that should keep you busy for another 8-9 months.......if you only use Stirling.

I will look forward to seeing what your favorite keepers end up being.

Just received my Stirling samples.

Now I need to figure out which one starts my evening shave. Recommendations are welcome.

You really can't go wrong with any of them. I'm rather partial to his Dark Cherry, Anise, and Almond Creme. Glacial wintergreen is my favorite menthol shaving soap. My samples last 2-3 weeks. I like his soaps so I've been getting samples to find the scent I like, then I'll get a full puck.
