    Default Samplers?

    Well, now that I'm through crying over losing to BYU I can get down to more important stuff, shaving. I am currently using C.O. Bigelo's cream
    and love it but I am looking to expand my repitoire. I am about to buy some Tabac soap to see what all the fuss is about, but I want to try some new creams too. I was thinking TOBS. Anywho, I'm looking for samplers, of anything. Creams or soap. Does anyone know where to buy some. I'm all about trying it all if samplers are available. Besides, I think a decently comprehensive list of sites that carry samplers would be a benefit to all. Any help would be appreciated.

    The Shave Den (The Shave Den) offers samples of a massive range of reputable brands of creams, aftershaves, and soaps (TOBS, CF, MWF, Tabac, and more) for reasonable prices.

    The Gentleman's Quarter (The Gentlemen's Quarter - Shaving, Bath and Body, Skincare, Home Fragrance, Brushes, Creams, Soaps) offers 1/2 oz samples of all their soaps (enough for a good few shaves per puck), and 1/4 oz samples of creams (again, a good few shaves). All samples are around $2 per sample, and there's no limit, so you can buy one sample of everything at once and decide if you like it or not.

    Ogallala Bay Rum (http://www.ogallalabayrum.com) sells a sampler of their 5 soap scents for $4.95, and a 2oz AS sample for $1.

    Finally, the Colonial Drug store (Colonial Drug - the hard to find fragrance specialiste) apparently does a good CF sampler (unsure of exact contents) upon emailing them and requesting it.

    I don't know how much soap you guys use, but i get like a MONTH out of a sample of TGQ. well beyond the amount needed to get a good review of it.

    I'm the same, I get a lot of shaves out of a single sample, and since I have samples of almost all her soaps, I'm not gonna need to buy more for a long long time (even longer now my order of even more soaps and creams to add to my rotation has arrived). I shouldn't need to buy any more soaps for at least 3 years, at a very conservative estimate. Doesn't mean I won't though . . .
