Thread: Where do you get samplers?

I read about you lads receiving/ordering 'sampler' packs, where do you order them? For example, samplers for TOBS etc... ?

Sounds cool!

Got mine right here:

The Colonial drug samples are free.The Shave den samples are also great and a bit more per sample,but about a buck a sample.Still,a great way to try almost any soap or cream you have ever heard about.

And how many shaves does a sample last like that? Just curious as I'll have to pay quite a few bucks for sending it to Europe I suppose

The cream samples from TSD are rather small in my opinion. But the soap samples are quite large, so if you are a soap user I would go for it as there is enough for at least 20 shaves, conservative estimate (I don't use a ton of soap when I shave though).

Alternately you might try ordering the sample option from fitjarsoapsinternational.com. Their soaps are incredible and you get to pick the 3 scents of your choice for 14 Euros, shipping included. Those Norwegians know a thing or two about quality.

If it's soap and you want a great bay rum sampler Ogallala Bay Rum Shaving Soap Sampler

+1 on the Shave Den

Individual soap makers such as Momma Bear's usually offer them

And some of the big labes offer them some for purchase at ~$10 or so directly through their sites such as:
Truefitt & Hill
Geo. F Trumpers (although they're sample are unavailable during Xmas season but will return at start of the new year)

Sample sizes vary from brand to brand, maker to maker but usually at least 2-3 shaves (I find samples from The Shave Den tend to be bigger. The cream samples I got lasted 5-6 shaves and the soap samples - which I haven't used yet are the size of Reese's peanut butter cups.

Since nobody has mentioned the Mama Bear samples:
