One of the great things I recently learned is that some Artisan soap makers offer samples. A few weeks ago I received soap samples for QCS (Queen Charlotte Soap Co.). Today, I grated one of the samples (Basilica) into my soap dish and went to town. The Basillica fragrance is nice, but did not thrill me. However, the QCS lather is excellent! QCS is just wonderful stuff! The Basilica sample is going to last me a few days, perhaps a week. I can't wait to try the four other QCS soap samples I received. Samples are a great way to try out a product without ending up with a quantity of something you're not fond of. Does anyone know of other companies that offer samples?
TSD shop is where I go as well. Tons of scent choices with TSD soaps plus all the samples from the big boys arcoss the pond.
