Best place to buy Soap samples

Thanks mrdoug . This was a very timely post. I ordered about two dozen samples.

Thanks  mrdoug . I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I’ll give Maggards a look.

So far, I’ve only used Tobac and I just ordered Cannonball shaving cream from a recommendation off the forum. I’ve noticed there are several scents and feels to shaving cream and I’d like to explore as much as possible without breaking the bank.

If you’ve used Tabac you can stop now. It’s the best

Purchasing soap samples is a great way to evaluate the scent of the soaps. However, I do not like using samples as I never seem to develop as good a lather from a sample as I do from a full tub. I do a lot of soap evaluations. To insure accuracy, I always want to use full tubs for evaluations.

Not to mention that samples are for people with commitment issues.

Ok, enough jocularity    It’s true that samples can give you a preview of a soaps  performance and smell but you should follow through and buy the full size of the ones you like. If you talk to any soap makers, samples are royal pain in the A.. that’s why most of them push it on to vendors like Maggards. Filling those tiny containers? Seriously uneconomic as well as no fun at all. So don't be that guy with a shave den stocked with samples-do your part. Buy full size version of the good ones. 

This has been a public service announcement.
