It's been almost 2 months, I can't believe it. These samples still have plenty of soap in them. I kept putting off updating this thread until I got the hand of them, which has been an issue. Xpec...

Haha, no worries. If you have any other questions, let me know.

Success! My father loved the kit I sent him, but has lost his brush. He's probably going to buy one from walgreens on the cheap and probably get a nice one from me for his birthday or an excuse for...

I revisited my EJ soaps for the first time in awhile, something about them makes me go towards Proraso and TOBS. Nothing really rational, maybe the cream seems to not really "fluff" up. However, I...

Well, I kinda forgot about this thread a wee bit. I felt like I should update my thoughts on my soaps. First, I still have not finished a single sample. Have not even touched one of the MT samples...

So, I've been in Germany the past week and a half. Boy howdy, I've been busy and missing my straights. I ended up bringing my dovo shavette and a bunch of blades. Should have only brought my feather...

You'll just have to remember on the next sample spree :beer1:

Welp, yesterday's shave was alright. Kinda terrible. I have this borderline OCD in trying to get the really difficult hairs to at least be even with the rest of my face, or at least match...

I have mainly used creams. All of my samples are creams. I find that I spend a little more time in the scuttle and I don't face lather, all that adds up to an extra step with hard soaps that bothers...

Back to my thread, I used the Jermyn street cream today. Still undecided about this scent. It is very stereotypical of a "modern" cologne to me. It has a nightish scent, think a flower grove at night...

If you knew me personally, you would know I am way to cheap to do that. I agonize over every purchase over 20 bucks.... "if a fist could turn dollars into diamonds, you'd be rich" is a direct quote...

I think it is just their post office has things slip from time to time. We're *possibly* rare cases, with a shipment resting on a shelf for a few days. I used to live by the country's worst post...

Yesterday's shave included Proraso Sandalwood. It is a little chilly up here (~35F) and I wanted a warm woody scent. Aaaaaand I didn't really get it. The first thing that came to mind when I smelled...

The aforementioned pic. I kinda wished the blue would stay through the lathering process...

Stupid phone pic...

Saturday's shave was another TOBS day, with Mr. Taylor's. I was able to get much more glide with this cream, it is definitely a bit more finicky with the amount of water necessary to get the glide...

I wanted to be sure that my Shumate's edge was good and gave it another shave last night. I gave it a few strokes on the CrOx and stropped on my SRD linen and leather, 25/50. The blade itself was...

Definitely not the cost, was just too lazy yesterday to go out and get some. I prefer to go to woodman's for groceries and it can be a pain on sun/mon nights. Going to pick some up tonight, but in...

If I could find a way to train a gorilla, I would totally have one as my butler...

So far, I have tried the St. James on Saturday. It has, to me, a more classic aftershave scent with a hint of...

So, this maybe odd or perfectly reasonable to some of you gentlemen, but I am going to treat this as a continuity and keep notes here on my samples. Any input on my samples or anything else that has...

Just looked at some photos, I think slow post is a price I'd be willing to pay to live there.

Well, my biggest issue is the fact that the package probably sat 19 hours in the back of the pick-up vehicle. When they're usually returned nightly as far as I'm aware.

Is that huge delay a result...

But they have to put it on a plane, fly it to Mitchell Int'l, drive it to Oak Creek, put it in another truck to your PO and then it can go out for delivery...

@Hirlau: Of course! Must be an additional QC! I should've known! :gaah:

@rolodave: Probably makes you want to drive over and get it, at least that's how I feel...

I kinda wanna gripe and you guys are probably the few that can relate. First of, before some of you get the wrong idea, I am not bashing Maggard's. I can't, because of the post office. Maybe there's...
