    Just to clarify-when I say "off the Lazy Susan", I meant that I just took the next soap off to be ready for tomorrow....BoS is "on deck".

    Me too. I really love the scent ( even the cedar note). May have to pick up the EDT if it is still available.

    Great brush, Andrew. As for Stoylin samples, I found I could only get 2-3 shaves from the aftershaves, and I have yet to order a soap.

    The soap samples are great. A full 1 ounce per sample. You'll get a lot of shaves out of those Paul.

    I still haven't "mastered the art" of soap samples. You scoop it out with a small spoon(or teaspoon)and put it into a cup or bowl, right? I have seen videos showing that just a little soap can turn into a lot. I'm amazed by that.

    I just put the samples in Tupperware bowls from the Dollar General Store. They are the perfect size and are stackable plus the sample label peels off the puck and fit perfectly on the lid of the bowl.

    You must like to "lay them on heavy", Paul! I'm pretty much done with samples. I figure if I don't like the scent enough to keep it around, which is rare, I can find someone here willing to take it off my hands.

    You can buy an empty soap tubs and then just put the sample puck in it and use it till it's gone.

    I'm done with them, too......I just go for the whole shootin' match, based on Doc Ezlovan's description and the overall balance of the reviews. To me, it's hard to "lay them on heavy". (Your quotes).

    Oh, that's easier than scraping.

    That is exactly what I do too. I also press the 1 ounce puck into the container which helps keep it still while I load. Best of luck.

    Thanks John, I'll try it sometime. I do happen to have some sample soaps, but no containers. But these soaps came probably a year or so ago, thus they may have lost their strength. Having said that, they still smell good.

    Okay Paul...... As chief Tsuka Fanboy, I guess I'll just have to 'take one for the team' and go another day.







    PS - might have done it anyway.

    It'll be on board Friday or Saturday, depending on if I want to go a 3rd day with the current SOTD(see SOTD).

    When I have it set to go, I'll make sure to get a gold medal from you in the Olympics of Shave Reports.

    Wonderful shave with Dunshire this morning. Used the mentholated splash and spritzed on a little of the EdT. Wonderful scent!
