I thought Stirling Barbershop was my favorite, but it’s been replaced by Clubman!

It’s fine. It was recommended to me as a citrus fragrance and I don’t get that. It feels great on my skin post shave! But the scent is a little bit generic to me.

The Piacenza post shave balm has a nice scent to it and helps soothe any irritated skin after shaving. Highly recommended!

First, a quick bit, about me as this written portion might seem at odds with the five stars. I'm an outdoors person, rarely use sunscreen and my face is exposed to the elements every day, for hours at a time, I shave with a DE Razor and, many days, I don't always drink enough water. My dermatologist is happy with my skin's condition but it does take a beating and has for 50+ years.

My five stars are related to product quality, and consistency. This is product is extremely well made, consistent, great ingredients and high quality. NOTHING wrong with product quality, quite a bit wrong with my personal care, nothing more.

Overall, I find this balm to not be quite as effective as others I have used, in the past. I find myself, after a shave, having to reapply, at least once, about an hour after the first application and then, again, the next morning, to keep my face hydrated. I firmly believe that if my face wasn't as subjected to what it is, this balm would work just fine.

This product passes "the wife test." With many balms, I jump into bed and she exclaims: "Did you swim in perfume???" She's VERY sensitive to scent oils and most she does not like. This one, she's perfectly fine with. ALL Sterling products have passed the sensitivity test and is a testament to Sterling's attention to detail and quality ingredients.

Overall, makes my face feel nice and comfortable, after a shave, once I get enough on. Five stars for an excellent product, overall.

I ordered this and the matching soap, however the wife would not allow me to use it as she was not a fan. I appreciated the scent, but unfortunately have not used it. I love my other Stirling after shave balms, so I am sure it is great. If you like aqua di parma, you should definitely give it a shot.

I'll keep this short and sweet. Stirling is my favorite manufacturer of shaving products. Piacenza's scent is warm weather perfection and the balm is excellent for those who have sensitive skin

My first balm from Sterling. Was a Nivea guy until now. I have medium heavy stubble but thin skin so using fairly aggressive razors left me with alot of irratation, especially around the chin. When applying Nivea, I get a rush and "feel it working", then it is gone. With Sterling balm, I use alum block, witch hazel, then balm. A little goes a long way. In minutes the irratation, reddness, and raw feeling is gone. Even 12 hours later (I shaved last night) still feel it on skin, in a good way. Scent is mild but complex.

Non greasy, nice & soothing. This is my 1st Stirling aftershave balm and I'm happy to say. It definitely won't be the last. I'm a head shaver so I wanted shine but not greasy. This stuff smells as good as the soap and does the job I look for in a balm. Excellent in the winter for dry skin. Thanks Rod & Mandy!

Smells wonderful and feels incredible after a nice close shave. Not greasy, quickly absorbs.. just great.

You only have to use a very small amount. I shave my head and face and use this after my shave. Smells wonderful and I have received many complents. Leaves my face and head feeling soft and clean. Highly recommended.

Holy oranges! Not just oranges, but you will smell them without a doubt. They strike first and then fade into the amber and musk in the background. This is a scent for all year as it covers the high of summer and the low of fall.

This balm is heaven. It's feels and smells so good on your face. All of Rods balms are Amazing. Smells exactly like the soaps and after shaves # 1 for sure. Top notch products that feel and smell beautiful. Rod is the man. I love Sterling...

Love the face feel on this balm and it has a nice soothing sensation. The lemon? scent really shines through in the balm and as a citrus lover, I'm really enjoying it. Grab some to pair with your soap.
