Triumph
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
Many consider Triumph to be an aquatic fragrance due to its citrusy top notes of Mandarin Orange and grapefruit. Based on Paco Rabanne's Invictus, the fragrance is somewhat devisive with some loving it for its youthful energy and sweetness and others claiming it lacks balance. What's true is that the pronounced presence of oakmoss and jasmine feel a bit non-traditional when paired with the fruity orange and grapefruit, which some have described as creating a bubblegum-like aroma, and others like cherry lozenges. A zesty, complex, fruity bouquet which is appropriate for home or play, and sure to get noticed.

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.
