Island Man
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
When you wear Island Man, based on Creed's Virgin Island Water, you can almost hear the reggae music playing from the beach bar in Jamaica. The coconut, lime, ylang-ylang, rum, and sugar cane instantly transport you to the Carribean, and its light, sweet, freshness makes it the perfect summer scent for a day by the pool or an evening at the Tikki Bar. Perfect for casual settings in warmer climes. Maybe a bit too playful for the office. Island Man is a summertime classic.

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.
