Kidding aside, I was given some great advice by the learned members here of some quality small batch soap companies to try. I noticed a lot of companies don't offer samples. I'm sure they might be a pain in the ass to package and process, but for what it's worth, one sample of Catie's Bubbles or Stirling Soaps was all I needed to turn me into a regular customer. Can't wait to burn through all of these!

And that is how soap addiction disorder begins... :)
So how does one go about getting samples like you did?
All the makers above sell these samples on their site, or on Maggard if you can't find it there.Quote:

Can you list the companies pictured. The single vial in lower left is interesting, it seems to be a lone wolf...
I tried the Dapper Dragon, but I bought a whole container of their Black Dragon scent. Failed to notice the Anise in the description :banghead: The soap was really good, but the licorice scent was not my thing. May need to try some of his other scents. The Scale Polish he sells as an aftershave was pretty cool stuff.
I got the whole array of the Chiseled Face samples. None of those really were my thing. Ok as as far as soap goes, the scents were not bad.

Love the Stirling soaps great lather and some nice scents.
Thanks,
I would guess you have two or three years of soap there. Maybe longer. YMMV for sure.
Stirling and Catie's are quality products. Stirling does best when heavily loaded.
Sure! Yes, the single one is Los Angeles Shaving Company because he was kind enough to send me a freebie when I ordered a jar. Even though, as another poster mentioned, I haveQuote:

Awesome, thanks.
I did a full sample pack of LA Shaving, some really nice stuff in there. Ended up buying his "Myrkvišr" soap. It is a really nice scent and lathers very well. As a bonus this soap scent is BEER based! [emoji482]
Yeowza!!!
That's just plain cool!
You might have to start a journal so that you can report back with the good, bad and ugly.
Be careful... By the time you get to the last one it might be fossilized!
Now, as your forum name implies...If they were only beer samples!!
Diving into that is going to be fun.
Enjoy!
