    I'm seriously contemplating Sandpiper, from the sample group I have-these are aftershaves, though.

    does it include Sandpiper, by any chance?

    Just don't get rid of any of the "Man" scents. I'm using up my stock as quickly as I can so I can order more, I promise...

    No Sir. I haven't even tried a sample of any Sandpiper yet.

    3 shaves in with my SDM sample aftershave, and I bet I can get 6 out of it.

    Only 6? I got about 15 uses on my Ozark Mountain aftershave. Now granted, I only use a tiny amount. Their scents don't take much for me.

    OK, I'll see about between 6-15. I do tend to use perhaps more than the norm.

    Yeah, but with Ozark Mountain, a little goes a LONG way.

    So did Barbershop, at least for me. I have a full bottle of it and used it the whole month of October excepting about three shaves. It looks like I haven't used it! That bottle will last me forever.

    I use about 7-8 drops per shave. The samples last a long time for me...

    That sounds about right for me, too. I almost always mix in the aftershave with witch hazel to make a compound splash. I refer to it as "witch hazel splash enhanced with" in my shave posts. That works for me quite well. A little goes a long way!

    I go through it a lot faster than most. For one, I'm a head shaver, for another, I apply it with a cotton ball. Tend Skin recommends that you apply it this way, and it seemed to work better. I started applying my aftershaves that way, and it seems to work better for my skin. Much fewer ingrowns or breakouts.

    It really depends on the scent for me. Some of them like Ozark Mountain, Sandalwood, Glastonbury are super forward and hang in there forever. The citrus scents (which makes sense) aren't as forward and fade quickly. Those I tend to splash on like "That Guy".

    Just placed an order for some samples. Realized I'm going to need some more Witch Hazel soon, so I decided to try a sampler. While I was at it, I added 8 aftershave samples. :scared003:

    Good thing I spent $0 last year and saved up a little cash to splurge this year...:sad027:

    What I would do to see a Canadian vendor bring in Rod's alcohol-based aftershaves. There was one, but that company is now closed. At least I can buy his awesome witch hazels. :)

    In your experience what is the typical shipping time for Stirling Soaps?
