I heard it was similar to the late Johnny Goodsir TMBR, that's why I purchased it. I love the scent, it pair well with Pinaud Virgin Island.Soap with a great scent

Wow. I am in love with Stirling Soaps. Excellent, fresh scent (not 'air freshener pine' at all) and a wonderful, slick lather.
The DLC Slant has much more blade feel than the X3 and I think I prefer it. A similar shave, but it needs more focus from the user. The Alt Innsbruck finished off an amazing shave.
I really hear you on Stirling soaps @Psmith, they are pure awesome
The only kicker with Stirling is the postage costs to Australia and the restriction of sending alcohol internationally ruling out the Splashes for most people.
Until we convince Con @tsw to stock them
I'll support his decision and trust he knows what is best for TSW, besides, TSW already has a lot of good products to keep me coming back to them every couple of weeks to browse. Thanks @shavetheman for bringing in goodies like B&M to Australia, for us to purchase them locally.I had a lengthy conversation with @shavetheman about this very topic of Stocking Stirling products in his store after the thread on here a few weeks ago and I gave it every effort to get him to stock the range. In brief he cited a number of very valid and sound pro's and con's for and against stocking the range as a retailer in Australia.
I will leave it to him to discuss his reasons and thoughts on this forum if he chooses to. Without wanting to come across here as being arrogant, snarky, rude SOB I consider our telephone conversations private. I am sure he will gladly offer his thoughts though on Stirling
I found his after balm is the best for my skin. Even if I've got Chatillon Lux balms.Oh, have I also mentioned that their After balm has replaced my menscience moisturiser as my daily moisturiser and found a spot in my mandatory post shave routine?
JGS was a whiskey/smokey scent where Anne Bonny is definitely black tea, but overall stand-out/"quality of" scent places them in the same league, Both "stand-out scents" IMO. Anne Bonny makes a better lather though.I heard it was similar to the late Johnny Goodsir TMBR, that's why I purchased it. I love the scent, it pair well with Pinaud Virgin Island.

Lather was fantastic!!!! Oh Yea.
I can conclude. The X3 is a keeper for sure. Partially contributed by the amazing lather. Such close and comfortable shave. I did nick myself at the same spot though. User error. Will post more detailed thoughts in due time.
