Thread: Looking to try new soaps or creams but don't want to break the bank.

Mike's Natural Soaps http://www.mikesnaturalsoaps.com/

The 10 dollar shipping was too costly, so whats the next logical progression? Obviously, fill up the cart past 75 dollars to qualify for free shipping right? Right as I'm about to click the complete order button, I come back to check this thread one last time. Good thing the Mama's and Mikes was mentioned. I'm holding off on that giant order from Maggards, and going to try these cheaper brands first. Thank you sirs. Something about getting into new hobbies just compels me to want to spend money. Good thing you guys are level headed reasonable adults.

Make your own shaving soap 3 dollars a puck and pretty much any scent you want good luck

Have you checked any of the HAD/SAD/RAD ect. threads.

I pulled the trigger on the Mikes soaps. it was 13 bucks for sample sizes of all his scents. can I just hold these bars in my hand and lather, or do I need a bowl? or can i just steal a bowl from my kitchen? I think thats what I'll do. steal from the kitchen. I'm going to steal a coffee mug for my cream lathering as well. #PovertyLife

A couple folks mentioned buying salsa bowls from Walmart or a dollar store. They're only a couple bucks and are pretty much indestructible.

well, this post only made me more curious. where can I find these threads?

The distance between "I would like to try something new" and "how did I end up with a 15 year supply of soaps?" Is very very short......

In the search at the top right Search up "HAD" or any of the others. Check this one out:

Well I was going to mention Maggard's, but since the shipping is a deal breaker I won't. Garry's Sample shop is another one to look at. Lot's of places(SRD included) sell samples of there own soaps. It is not nearly as easy to find shaving cream samples. The Shave Den might be worth a look. As I know they sell all kinds of samples. I think they have a sample subscription service, but I haven't looked into it. Garry that I mentioned earlier said he was planning to start a subscription service as well.

Anyone know of any other places that sell cream samples?
