This is now my fifth full-sized jar of Stirling shave soap (it all started with Bay Rum, then Stirling Spice & Clubman, and Barbershop. I also recently picked up the 3oz jar of Seine Reserve (PLEASE keep making that one - review coming soon!). The soap itself is an easy purchase. I know exactly what I get with it - a soap that lathers easily in my hard northeastern water and produces a ridiculous amount of voluminous, protective, and slick lather that leaves my face feeling soft and conditioned. They’re consistent across tubs, distinguished only by the remarkable scents. Piacenza is no different. As a longtime user of AdP Colonia, I had high expectations for the soap (and splash, and balm, and EdT, and oil, and bath soap - got the whole lineup) that were blown away when I unscrewed the cap and began loading the brush. The scent comes alive and perfumes the bathroom with a wonderful and mysterious citrus accord that’s just lovely way to begin the day, any time of the year. Piacenza, as long as Stirling continues making it, will always have a spot in my soap drawer. Bravo, Rod and Mandy!
