How could this ever be a good idea? Wouldnt it be better just to give them away so u dont have to look at them? I think we all know the answer to this.

Y'all are trying these on your skin, right? Smelling a fragrance out of the bottle is not a good indicator of the actual scent, which is designed to work with the heat of your skin and your body chemistry. Absolutely. I actually refuse to open any sample until i am ready to apply it before work or ...

Slipslope... Just curious, where did you get your variety of samples from? Were you charged? How was your experience with each company? So far Ive received samples from Floris, Truefitt & Hill and Geo F Trumper (I had to pay 5$ for the Trumper) I sent an email to a few companies and the above c...

Does anybody have any information on SISU Razor blades. What country they come from etc. The only place ive found them is on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ART-DECO-SHAVING-SA ... dZViewItem

I just received a bunch of samples thank to the sticky in this forum. Thank you SMF! My question is: Is it possible to get a bad sample? as in mixed incorrectly so the smell is off. I just tried T&H Trafalgar and I was wondering if maybe the sample i received was bad. I cant believe someone woul...

I'd give up polls like these and keep the DE, brush and creams/soaps.

U seem you know what u like and dont like. I ordered the musgo products in signature because of this.

OK. I didn't answer this question because I felt the poll was incomplete. I think you left off the Aftershave part of it, and I would get rid of the aftershave because when using a great DE, brush and highend soap/cream you don't need an aftershave. I think Richard said it best when he first starte...

Which brings up a good topic i think. If i had to give up a DE i would switch to a str8 even though ive never tried one. I think I would rather grow a beard before i used a cartridge razor again

I dont even know what a styptic pencil is. I love using an alum block though

Im new to the world of DE Shaving and absolutly love it. Anyway which item from the following would you give up first if you had too?

I personally did not care for this scent. I much prefer the Floris Santal, No. 89 and the Elite. Luckily it faded fast

I am not used to a bottle where you have to work to get the cologne to come out. I also just received my Taylors Sandalwood and had the same exact response. And also to show u how refined I am I tried to bite the plastic piece out. Oh the learning curve.Its good to know that this is the way its sup...

Alright way to go Adam! Of all the Shave Creams u have: Which ones ur fave?? My second shave went way worse than the first. Thank god i have an alum bar.

I also just ordered a bottle of sandalwood from vintage blades. Very satisfied. The hand written note is a very nice touch. I also got 2 samples of floris. Ill definitely be shopping there again.

Also: Why isnt the vintage blades website on the places to shop page? I think it needs to be.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes and tips/links. I honestly cant believe shaving has become exciting. Also what does BBS mean?

I started off my shaving days with an electric razor because that is what my grandpa taught me with. I then progressed to a Sensor, Sensor Excel, Mach 3 and then finally last got a Mach Fusion. Then I saw a shaving video on Youtube.com and my shaving life was changed. I had to know more about this o...
