    Just finished with K. I found the slickness was great! The scent smelled like run of the mill soap. Kind of like Palmolive type scent. I found the cream great in some areas and so so in others. Not sure if I'll seek it out but I enjoyed trying it!

    Sample L is by far the best performing cream I have used. The scent I'm not so sure of but the slickness, cushion and post shave feel. Fantastic!!!

    Sample Lumberton is done and I really liked this one. My favorite of these samples; the scent was great, but I had a hard time figuring it out. It is a bit similar to Tiki Cabernet Neroli to my nose, but definitely different. I really liked it. It was slick and protective. The post shave was good as well. A great way to wrap them up.

    I will definitely use your the samples. Thank you @Vlasta this has been fun.

    I really liked this one as well. I would have to consider it for a buy. Not that I NEED more, but that hasn't stopped me yet.

    "H"otel was finished. Gobs of thick, slick lather! The scent isn't my favorite but it wasn't bad either.
    I have so far, really enjoyed using creams for this extended period. I do have several creams I use on occasion, however I may be rethinking how much I'll be reaching for a tube vs. a puck in the future:)

    First shave with “G” tonight. This was the runny one I head about. Great slick lather and initially smelled like soap, but half way through, it came to me:

    Wrapped up "D" yesterday with a face and scalp shave. 5 days stubble on the scalp and 3 on the face. The cream provided sufficient lather for 2 face passes and 1 scalp pass, so needed to add a little Bigelow to finish off my scalp. Overall, D was just okay - not great but not bad.

    2 shaves into sample E and this is the first one I don't really like. It seems like it is giving me a little irritation. I'll give it one more chance tomorrow and decide if I want to use it up or toss it. It lathers fine, smells okay and is slick, but I have a little sting after I make a pass.

    Finished G tonight. I detected a hint of menthol. I really liked this one:) Actually none so far were bad.

    I have made it through J now, and J was a dud for me, so far the only dud. I will finish the last two next week. Can't wait for the unveiling.

    First shave with “F” I like it. Enough lather for four passes. Scent is light, and dissipates after rinsing. Overall, I like it.
