    The box has landed. I gave all the samples a sniff and have nine put to the side to take samples of. If I can find my stacks of sample containers tonight, I will ship to @dustmite tomorrow. Otherwise I will buy these containers from Dollartree tomorrow and ship Wednesday.

    It cost me $18.75, which is well worth trying that many soaps.

    Adding a chunk of Klar Kabinett - why was it discontinued?

    Adding PDP cream and balm.

    After shipping, I will post my shaves with the takes in this thread.

    Thank You @PLAla for this opportunity!

    Great! Glad you found scents that you like. There is plenty of product in that box and certainly something for everyone.

    I really liked that cranberry citrus as well. The scent was so incredible. If course, the route 66 performance is always great too.

    I used Stirling Arkadia tonight. I like the smell, but I couldn't get it to lather well. Not sure if because of the size sample I used or a new brush I just got. I just couldn't get it to lather like similar sized samples did. So I spent a lot of time rebuilding lather with tonight's shave.

    It's definitely not the soap. I've never had issues with arkadia

    My guess would be your brush. The new brushes I've used always don't lather well for the first couple uses

    That's my thought. Its a little softer than I am used to, and the sample moves around a lot in the bowl.

    Okay! I grabbed my Dollartree sample containers, and added four samples to the bunch I posted earlier:

    GG - Tallow, Suede
    B&M - Arctique
    Stirling - Arkadia
    Route 66 - Bourbon Jungle.

    These containers are labeled as pill boxes/sorters. They are on the endcaps at the registers.

    Okay! Box is gone, delivering Saturday.

    9505515379877039051520

    I picked out a NOS flat rate box, the bar code was not ringing up as flat rate, so USPS was quoting $28.85. I pointed out that the box was clearly marked as flat rate. The clerk ended up having to scan a newer but empty box in order to get the flat rate price of $18.85.

    I am off today, so the shaves will start tomorrow.

    Cheers!
