The real reason why, I'm leaning towards Stirling is because the tub size is 5.8oz (nearly 165 grams), the soaps last longer and better value for money.
I like Noble Otter excellent soap base formula from the old soap base formula, it's getting pricey for 4.0oz (nearly 113 grams).

Yes, I agree. The v3 of NO is excellent and very rich, BUT, the scents of Stirling are much better and great variety.
Do you have tried the Deton - 8 set?
Because I love SpiceBomb and wanted to know if it's a good clone.

No… I haven’t tried the Stirling Deton.
However all the SpiceBomb hand grenade style fragrances are way too strong and expensive, trust me those fragrances will have my head blown off.

Pre - Aleppo Soap
Brush - Semogue SOC TAJ Boar
Soap - Tabac
Razor - 6/8th "The Kropp" #2 Osborne, Garrett & Co Ltd 1899 - 1923.
Blade - Tony'schin
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tabac
A/S - Tabac Aftershave Splash
A very nice result from the #2 of my Kropp razors, it did not feel as smooth as my #1, although i am not sure if it was poor prep or the edge could do with a refresh?
As i said the result was very good so i cannot complain too much.
Enjoy your day all.

Managed to make a hole in the bottom of the soap - now I have to kill it off so it’ll be the CH3 gang for the next few shaves
While I prefer the Gile’s spotty bowl this larger (16cm vs the 13cm one solely Aesop) bowl is fantastic- just the right size for my hand and bigger brushes and a great deal more bouncable than the pottery one
