I just wish more companies made samples. I realize I'll probably like whatever I buy; at least I have so far, but what if I don't like a scent? I doubt very much someone would want to get a used soap from a stranger and I don't have any friends that use anything other than canned goop. I currently have a sample of everything MNS makes as well as a jar of MWF, Body Shop Macca Root, Razorock Classic and a tube of Proraso. I have a travel size Castle Forbes Lavender on order, too. This is a small amount by comparison to others, but it's still a lot of soap, certainly more than a couple of years' worth of shaving.
