Please help me decide.
My Truefitt & Hill sample pack came in the mail today and I'm having trouble deciding which one to use first. The samples are Ultimate Comfort, Grafton, Trafalgar, Lavender, Sandlewood, 1805, Rose, West Indian Limes and Almond. What are your suggestions?

I would let fate decide. Without looking take your first pick.

I just finished my samples. I especially liked Trafalgar (possible purchase), but the rose and almond are very pure, intense scents, and the lime is nice too.
There are many roads to sharp.

Thanks Max, great idea. I'll have to wait to do it until right before the shave. Otherwise I'll probably keep changing my mind and picking again.

1805 is a fan favourite, perhaps you should start there?

I went to the store and smelled them all. That was a bit overwhelming, but I ended up purchasing Trafalgar and have not regretted it.

If I were in your place, I would start with Grafton first and end with Rose. Because Ultimate Comfort is unscented, keep it for somewhere in the middle as a sort of palate cleanser.

Thank you all for the suggestions so far, I really appreciate it. I've been in soap/cream overload all week. Besides the sample pack, I've also received five new RazoRock soaps, a tube of Prorasso Red and a tube of The Real Shaving Co. cream this week.

I would not jump into this decision without a good, written review on each.
Send me the samples for a two week review. I will mail back what is left, with a detailed written review on each one.
This is the least I can do for a fellow member of SRP.

Used my first sample today, the Grafton. I can't quite put my finger on the scent, but I know I've smelled it before. I'm very happy that I can get more than one shave out of the samples. I only used half and had enough lather for at least four passes. The Grafton ASB was quite nice as well.
