Customers praised this shave soap for its "amazing lather" and "fantastic scent" of sweet almond, marzipan, and amaretto notes. Most found it "easy to lather," "very slick," and provided excellent protection. Some noted lather consistency issues with hard water, and one reported skin irritation.

Usual great soap, the scent is sweet and soft and not overpowering.
I've only used this soap a couple times so far,but the scent is amazing and so is the resulting lather.
Great fragrance close shaves.
Great fragrance and gives a close shave
I have tried a bunch of different soaps now, but I keep coming back to Sterling. Even before the scents, the soap is just a better product and provides an objectively superior shave. The Almond smells great. Not overpowering. A good winter option.
Smells great and performs even better. The Almond Creme scent is warm and sweet, and the lather it produces is rich, slick, and feels great on the skin. The folks at Stirling make a great product. Will be buying again.
My skin has never been better and I suffer from some very dry skin. This sent is great. Please make a post shave balm in this scent!
I just started using soaps like this a couple of months ago, having used mug soaps for decades. Then I tried TOBS and loved the rich, thick lather. However, the stuff is pricey!
So, I set out to sample less expensive options. This is just my second after Cella.
There is much to like about this soap. It has a very pleasant aroma and one tin should last a very long time. Much longer than TOBS. Hence, it is a better value.
However, I continue to have a hard time creating the type of lather I prefer, even after watching the video Stirling posted about creating a lather. My results have been inconsistent after about a month of trying. When I get it right, it is excellent and lubricates my skin perfectly for shaving with a DE razor.
Perhaps my issues are due to the fact that the water in my neck of the woods is quite hard, but I don't have the same problem with TOBS or Cella.
I will keep trying because, as I said, when I get it right, it is very good, indeed.
Fantastic shave quality with nice foaming action and lubrication. Easy to use. Smells absolutely fantastic!
I love the Sterling Shave soaps. Amazing soap at an amazing price.
Lovely scent. Ticks all the right boxes. Another hit from the Sterling Soap Company. And one of my new favorites.
Can stop smelling it, smells like cherries.
Stirling Soap products never dissapoint!
Amazing scent. Easy to lather and the lather itself was very pleasent. I will most definitely continue to buy soaps at stirling shave co.
I got this soap because I really like almond scented things. I got it and it was easy to lather with and the smell is amazing! It really is like with a cookie or a bakery. Love the soap, will definitely buy more when I'm done with my tub.
This stuff is a joy to shave with. Smells great and makes a perfect lather.
Really want to love this particular shave soap as the scent is great. Not sure why though as I’ve been through many other Stirling Shave Soaps but this makes my face extremely irritated and bright red. Just a forewarning though to others as if it weren’t for this it would be one of my top scents from Stirling.
This soap has an enjoyable scent. I wish the lather was a little thicker. Applied with a shaving brush. I still got a good shave with it. Will keep experimenting with this sample.
What's not to like ... great smell and a rich creamy, slick lather.
This compares well to Cella. Maybe a little sweeter. All Stirling soaps make the thickest, slickest lather.
I like the scent and the performance is very good. It's all about slick and cushion of which this provides nicely.
This is my first Stirling shave soap. Man am I glad got I it. The scent is amazing. Reminds me of the smell of an almond Kringle right out of the oven! This is now my favorite shaving soap. The soap creates a great smooth lather. The razor just glides over my face with no nicks.
I’m definitely going to try some of the other Stirling shave soaps !!!
This has become my number one shave soap. The scent is great and really lathers well along with being slick. Provides a great shave.
This almond creme soap smells wonderful, just like a cookie.
Great scent
Great Product
This could be one of my favorite scents. Can’t wait to shave with it. Smells so good!!
Stopped in the store in Paris to get some executive man edit and aftershave samples. Picked this up and checked the scent out, liked it so much I made an impulse buy and now it's one of my two favorite soaps along with Haverford.
The smell of almond and cherry is incredible and for those of you who are familiar with Captains Choice Italia will recognize it right away. The scent is almost identical, so if you like the smell of Italia you’re going to love this.
Awesome lather and fragrance.
Received this as a complimentary sample from an order and was obsessed. This is one of the most pleasant smelling sweet soap scents I've ever owned. I bought it in a body soap, shave soap and a matching splash. Excellent quality from each product. Can't recommend this product enough to anyone that enjoys sweet smells.
This scent is fantastic. I had one shave with the sample puck, and upon completion, I had already placed an order for bath soap, a pair of candles, and a pair of bath soaps.
What the world needs ASAP: Almond Crème EDT, AND an AC post shave balm! Reason being is that while the scent is addictive (as they rightfully mention in their product info), it doesn’t stay punchy throughout the day. I’d love to have it linger a bit longer, and therefore, an EDT &/or a PSB would likely provide that added scent strength.
Keep going, Stirling Soap Co. — you guys are killing it!
This is some great shave soap . Lathers up nice and I shaved 3 times just so I could keep using the soap . It smells great and my face feels awesome! Gotta get me some more Stirling soaps! Thanks!!
