Stirling Clubman Shaving Soap is Stirling Soap Company's own take on a barbershop scent, and the brand is clear that it is not a copy of Pinaud Clubman despite the shared name. Stirling describes it as a fragrance that carries you back to the era of gentlemen's clubs and the corner barbershop.
In use it reads as a gentle citrus opening over a powdery barbershop character, and it is one of the milder scents in the Stirling range. If you find traditional barbershop colognes too sharp first thing in the morning, this is the softer version of that idea.
The soap itself is the standard Stirling tallow base, which is why it has such a following among wet shavers. Beef tallow, stearic acid and castor oil build a thick, stable lather, and lanolin, shea butter, sweet almond oil and coconut milk handle the slickness and the post shave feel.
Key Features
- A mild, powdery barbershop scent rather than a strong traditional cologne.
- Stirling states this is not a duplicate of Pinaud Clubman.
- Tallow based lather with real staying power, so it will not dry out mid shave.
- Works well for face latherers who prefer to load a small amount and build slowly.
How to Use
- Wet your brush thoroughly and give it a firm shake.
- Swirl on the surface of the soap until a thick paste has formed in the tips.
- Add water in small amounts while building until the lather looks glossy and clings to the brush.
- Leave the tub open to air dry between shaves.
