Another heart vs head debate over who to choose. In virtually every one of my metrics Stirling wins out (hell, I have three times the number of Stirling tubs than any other artisan, and more Stirling samples than tubs of all other artisans combined!), yet my heart keeps reminding me that Kyle is a stalwart member of the community and is easily accessible. Ultimately, I couldn't ignore that Stirling was my gateway to artisan soaps and are the makers of half of my ten favorite scents. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
