Love the opportunity the samples provide. TOBS samples I have so far; Mr Taylor, Eton college, lemon lime, grapefruit , and coconut. Other soaps/creams Prorasso, Arko, Speick, Creamo. I do have 2 artisan soaps, a patchouli and a bay rum. Razors include my birth razor, slim adjustable, Tech, black handled Gillette and an Edwin Jagger de89. Trying as many different blades as I can. Brushes ; VDH boar, Tweezerman Badger, a cheap boar I got with a soap I bought at a fair, and my new Omega pro 49. Mugs/bowls ; VDH, OLD SPICE, and a salsa bowl from Wal-Mart. Shaves followed by use of alum block.
Well, still " finding my groove" but I'd say the Gillette adjustable and the VDH brush. Tweezerman seams too soft, and I've only used the Omega twice so far. I may look into a WD silver tip.
Nice! The TOBS Grapefruit is fantastic! Oh heck, all the offerings from TOBS are great! Happy Shaving!
