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.

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.
Looks like we're missing three participants, who either didn't receive the creams or haven't chimed in. @Screwtape , @LevelupShaves , and @NISITO
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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
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.
