@Paul Turner - send me a PM with your address. I'll send you some menthol crystals. I bought a bag about a month ago and would be happy to share.
For Wednesday I'd like to use the Glacial Spearmint soap and balm unless circumstances force me to use something else! lol

I thought it was the sample bottles, and you were displeased with the amount of effort it took to get it out of the bottle. But I could be wrong. It was a year and 3500 posts ago.
My Ben Franklin soap is into the last ounce. It’s one that I have enjoyed very much, but probably won’t replace. Ben Franklin is actually one of the first few I ever bought, if I remember right. I really like It, but it is not popular with my bride, so it has been my soap of choice when I am alone on the weekends. I douse up with too much of the AS, and bask in myself for a couple of hours. Well alas, I am down to no more than one shave remaining in my AS. I will probably have to pop the stopper out to get it. Hat tip to @ezlovan for a really great scent.
Hard to recall. There were some sample soaps I found tough to get open, I negotiatied the Clubman soap all right though.
Orange Chill is another good one for clearing the nose. Clayton Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
You gotta try Arkadia, women love it. I just ordered the aftershave balm, the bath soap, and 2 shaving soap samples after trying the sample Rod threw in with my last order. I like Bay Rum, but I think this is my new favorite. Clayton Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I just did a test bowl lather with a puck of Scots Pine that dates back to 2012-13. That would make it a 2nd generation Stirling soap. It took a little longer to lather, and it was thirsty. It did make a good lather though. I'm going to use it in the shower and see how well it deals with my itchy skin that's come about due to the colder weather.

Some of the soaps from 2012-2013 were a bit tougher to lather than the present ones. Around 2015 they became much easier and much better.
