Gents-- Since I started wetshaving I've called/emailed a number of companies for samples of their products (mostly shaving creams). To date I have samples from: Trumper, Truefitt and Hill, Art of Shaving, Sharps (sharpsusa.com), eshave, Proraso (courtesy of QED), Taylor of Old Bond St. (also courtesy of QED), Caswell-Massey, and Mario Badescu. I'm still waiting on Baxter of California, Anthony Logistics, and a couple others. As soon as I get through all this stuff I'll be posting my impressions (I'm not nearly finished sampling but at the moment my favorites are T&H Trafalgar and Proraso Eucilyptus for shave creams and Trumper Limes Skin Food for after-shave).
