Black Cherry
Let me say this is my all time favourite scent from Stirling. (so far out 25 different Stirling soaps). It has a very strong scent release and increases as the shave goes on. This I would classify as a 9/10 for scent strength.Does it smell like cherries. It sure does. The smell is sweet cherry candy. It is so good, that I actually was tempted to try and eat it. The shave, as per standard Stirling tallow based formula is excellent. Easy to lather, I have bowl and face lathered on two separate shaves. 1st shave was DE razor face lather, and today’s was a straight razor with a bowl lather. The bowl lather produced super volumes of glossy yoghurt like clouds. 20-30 sec loading from a damp synthetic brush was able to produce enough lather for more than a three pass and touch up shave.Very slick and very cushiony. I found the bowl lather of this soap exceptional on the cushion factor. Very easy soap to lather. 10/10. Post-shave feels great as always with Stirling soaps. 8.5/10. My pairing of aftershave scent to match this soap is Joop. Joop matches perfectly with the scent of sweet cherries. (finally found a use for Joop.I normally test out new soaps for myself by first face lathering and using a DE razor. If I am happy with that shave, my next shave will be with a straight razor. I never use pre shave preparations. If the soap I am using cannot produce a good shave on it’s own merits, then it’s not up to the task.Overall this a great soap, and one I had total confidence in using a straight razor. For those into fruit based scents, this one is strong in a good way. I rate this soap top 3 all time out of over 170 soaps and creams I have.
