was wondering if someone could tell me what scent the van der hagen soap is as it says nothing on the package.
also is there somewhere i can purchase samples of several scents, i have the van der hagen, which i like and also williams. i have seen several other scents but would rather not purchase so many just to find the one i really like. again thanks for all the help on here. it is greatly appreciated
VDH is a soapy scent to me, no one not in particular. There are several vendors on here that sell samples of their products. The Gentleman's Quarter and Mama Bears both are very reputable glycerin soap producers as well as many others that can be found in the Vendor's Forum of SRP.
Hope this helps a bit. Also, welcome aboard.

if you like that kind try col. conk almond or trumpers sandle wood those a real nice scents if you have a cutlery or cigar store they somtimes sell shave stuff they should let you open a box and smell them
i ordered several mamabear soaps, and i only liked 1 of the scents, "sleigh ride" it smells like cinnamon, like the old big red chewing gum
i think tgq and mamabear both sale sample packs or individual samples, i think mamabear will send "soap slivers" for like a buck a piece
Ok you really need to try TGQ Bay/Sweet Orange so far its my fav, actually they are all good Im having trouble trying to figure out what my second fav is.
If Mike says it, I'd believe it. Trust me, he knows his soap.Quote:

Scent becomes a personal thing. Try a selection from these sources and see what you think... :tu
is there any soap that smells like calvin kline obsession or aqua vela musk my gf goes crazy for that smell
The problem with scents is that they are very personal and different people like different things. This is so obvious that people often put scent before shaving performance. One good example of this is Tabac, an excellent soap in terms of performance but with a scent that turns many people off. Probably, a good way to try out soaps before you commit is to get a sampler. Several stores give you this option. This one offers both soap and cream samples:Quote:

I would suggest to consider shaving performance before scent in your decision and avoid samplers that come exclusively from one manufacturer. You may want to try creams, milled and glycerin soaps before you make your decision, you do not have to stick with just one. Each class has its pros and cons. This thread contains some of the differences:

You may also want to visit the review section and chose products with good reviews. BeBerlin has several good soap reviews there. A member here, loueedacat, has reviewed a number of them in the soap section as well.
There is a good thread to get an idea of where to start:
