Baker Street
Stirling
Stirling was started by Roderick and Amanda Lovan in 2012 after a trip to Scotland during which they fell in love with products with natural ingredients and decided to try their hand at making natural soaps. After much trial and error they developed their own formula of natural ingredients and today have grown well beyond soaps into a full-line of shaving and grooming products for men and women which include bath bars, body lotions, balms, accessories and even coffee. Today, Stirling is one of the most beloved and popular brands among wet shavers due to its reputation for high quality ingredients, reasonable prices, wide variety, and excellent customer service.
Scent Description
Baker Street belongs to the Woody scent family due to its intense Juniper scent. But unlike cedar or sandalwood which can have the dry aroma of freshly sawed logs, Juniper gives off a sweet, fresh, floral fragrance which is both light and masculine. Baker Street is unique in that its scent power is assertive but not overpowering, and sophisticated enough to wear to the office, while alluring enough to be seductive. A versatile scent which is pleasant and unique and bears the mark of a gentleman.

Base Description
The Stirling shave soap base hasn't changed its formula since it was first introduced and produces the quintessential example of a lather which ShaveSplash characterizes as Creamy. The formula follows the dictum of keeping it simple and is tallow-based with only 12-14 ingredients which are mainly all-natural. The result is a lather which is moist and smooth, with strong stability, good cushion, high density, and exceptional slickness, and due to the high-quality ingredients with beneficial skin properties has an excellent post-shave feel.
