    And I find brown sugar/ cinnamon LOL. Without a label; we’re all clueless!

    Sample D is done. This was pretty nice as well, a very lovely scent. Not a bad one yet.

    Just finished up a full head shave with sample C. It did well. Dollop of cream the old bean and lathered up with the Plissoft brush. It had good longevity as I have not shaved my head for several weeks so had stubble even after using the electric clippers. Seemed to have good slickness and cushion, so it is a winner. And the plain scent of soap was just fine for me.

    Tried sample A again with a straight razor. It took some time in the bowl to get the water right so it was nice and wet. A little of this goes a long way. The lather is slick and fit for straights. Good stuff.

    This is what I reckon the status is. 9 people received so far and acknowledged.

    I used sample H this morning. Without going into all of the details, this soap can produce a nice lather. I cannot figure out the scent, but it does smell familiar.

    Shave with E is complete, and I like this cream. Definitely slick and cushiony. I don't get a lot of scent from it, but when lathered it was pleasant, if light. Pretty good performance, IMO.

    Anyone care to mention on your sheet if you think the creams are:

    • Cheap > Less than $10 per tube
    • Fairly Priced $10-20 per tube
    • Expensive - $20 or more per tube
    You are all doing great work here guys. And I am sure you will be amused and maybe shocked at some of the creams and soaps you are trying.

    I have my samples I had started a focus before receiving them though. I’m going to start on the creams the first of December

    You’re right! I think @Screwtape is also participating in the 30 day rule. We’ll have to wait to laugh at your analyses:)

    I have already broken my 30DC Rule to play with a new razor so there's no reason anymore for me to wait until December to start trying the samples -- except I haven't received mine yet....

    Finished off J. All I can say; it smells like Christmas:). This stuff lathers like crazy. I just kept feeding it water, and it just kept growing! I’m not overly crazy about the scent, but because of the performance, I could easily overcome the scent.
