I got this to match the christmas eve shave soap, and it's perfect. the scent lingers for hours and you'll get compliments.

As for the performance, it exceeded my expectations. I love that it's a very thick cream to avoid mess. It's not oily but still keeps your skin hydrated all day and soothes any irritation instantly.

I got this with two other aftershave balms and this one is my favorite. It has a great blend of fragrances and I have been very pleased with this product.

As with many Stirling after shave balms, this one has a nice feeling after a shave. It also has a wonderful scent.

Another great Stirling product. I have used this once as I am waiting for Thanksgiving to start using this again but it will be in heavy rotation at that point.

I got this as a sample from an order I placed earlier this week. When I saw the scent, I thought, "Meh, we'll see." Till now, I'd yet to be impressed with a Christmas scent--there's always something out of balance that makes it smell slightly... off. Either too much pine or too much spice or too much whatever.

But this. Wow. The mix of pine, fir, and evergreen is light and bright. The cranberry is not too fruity, the spices are not too warm, and the vanilla is not too heavy. I didn't think it was possible, but Stirling captures Christmas perfectly--wassail on the stove, cookies and cakes in the oven, and a fresh-cut tree in the living room. It even passed the Missus test (who tends to dislike scent profiles that smell like things you can eat).

This one's a winner.

This post-shave balm will make you want to turn the lights off, turn the Christmas string lights on, play some Michael Bublé, grab a cup of hot cocoa, snuggle up next to your loved one, play a Christmas movie and down some holiday cookies. All whilst your face basks in the great glory of hydration and comfort. I pair it with their aftershave splash and it makes me feel elite. This makes shaving joy. Highly recommend.

This is a very good post shave balm that absorbs well with no greasy after feel. I call it my winter scent because there's no way I can limit this to just Christmas use lol. The smell is intoxicating and I can't stop smelling my hand after using it. Very nice thanks Stirling for always being top self.

Christmas eve shaving balm it’s very good. The product moisturizes the face very well without leaving a greasy feel. In addition the smell is awesome just like the aftershave and shaving soap. I would recommend it.

after you get into your jammies and settle in with a hot buttered rum or eggnog. Crackling fire optional.
Warm, gentle fragrance. Yet manly, dammit. :)

Very nice for your face. Leaves a great scent, not oily and wards off any hint of skin irritation. This is my favorite scent but they all do a great job.

I'd previously purchased the Christmas Eve shave soap, wanting a change from my routine and adding a "seasonal" sent. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the shave soap and loved the scent so I decided to go with the Christmas Eve post-shave balm. It has the same remarkable but not overpowering scent of the shave soap and as a post-shave moisturizer it's fantastic. It absorbs easily without any greasy residue and it goes beyond being a post-shave balm, I use it all over my face and neck to combat dry skin. It's become part of my daily routine after every shave.

The balm smells incredible. It reminds me of this time of year with the scent of Christmas trees, and the spices. It's great but dang it all, as I'm smelling this sweet heady balm, I want to open my windows, eat a warm chocolate chip cookie with a steaming cup of thick hot chocolate, and a vanilla crème brulee.

5 stars for a great balm, and -20 stars for making me want to eat.

Great balm with a festive scent. Love this balm!
