Hey, what’s going on everyone! Gerard here with today’s shave video and today we’re shaving with Stirling Soap Co. Ramblin Man. This, like many in their “Man” line up, is inspired by fragrances from Niche Perfumery, Creed.
I’m just going by what I remember off the top of my head, but Stirlings line up is inspired as follows:
Executive Man - Creed Aventus
Sharp Dressed Man - Creed Green Irish Tweed
Island Man - Creed Virgin Island Water
Mountain Man - Creed Silver Mountain Water
...and Ramblin Man which is inspired by Creed Himalaya. It contains notes of citrus, sandalwood, musk, cedar, and ambergris. Himalaya is said to have top notes of grapefruit, bergamot and sicilian lemon, but I don’t really get that here. I get more notes of the sandalwood and musk, which is brightened by the citrus element but not overpowering the soap. It’s best described as a bright, naturey soap, more than it is a citrusy soap. It is also a very well blended accord of notes, where you can pick out each note when it is described, but it comes together beautifully in this soap.
After putting on some Thayers Witch Hazel post-shave (I only had my unmarked travel bottle), I paired it with the matching Eau de Toilette, which for $25, is an absolute steal, seeing that a bottle of Creed Himalaya is upwards of $100-$150. Performance is good, not great for me. Most bright citrusy soaps don’t tend to last too long, but I got probably 5-6 hours of performance from it.
I applied it with the new WCS Honeycomb Brush with a 26mm Finest Badger knot. Performance is stellar and if it’s still on sale, is a steal at below $40. Mowed it with the WCS Bamboo Razor with a closed comb head. It’s familiar and provided a beautiful shave for me.
Hope you enjoyed the video! Please leave a comment down below. Peace!
