Samples arrived today in time for today's shave.
Straight in for the Bay Lime, nice scent, good lather,..took a while in the bowl but no problems.
Cushion and glide fine, residual slickness, a bit lacking but good close shave.
The shave was a bit, "tuggy", in places and my skin felt a bit raw compared with my usual, admittedly, higher-end, products, the alum rub, needed for a couple of unusual nicks, was a bit lively.
Will struggle, in my opinion, with the market leaders over here due to the $/import factor, notwithstanding, a good effort.

How did you find them?.

There were too many to sample them all and to be honest, some of them smelled, "interesting",...to say the least.
The ones whose scent were acceptable performed well but to be perfectly honest, I prefer to judge a product over an extended period in order to eliminate variables.
Whilst I appreciate the gesture of the soap company, I don't feel capable of giving a detailed review based on such limited use,...Sorry, maybe passarounds aren't for me.

No worries mate, the scents are quite varied and I found the performance varied slightly depending on the scent. None of which were poor performers and in general above average...

As a "from-the-hip", review,...I concur, and with continued use, my opinions would probably change for the better

 

[p.b]

Box has arrived. The only scent I don't like is the Almond, which I could have guessed anyway. The spiced bay is particularly nice, and also has the least left so I leave that for others to enjoy. Reports to follow...

When the samples arrived my missus and I picked out six samples based purely on scent from the tubs. I wasn't hard to find six that smelt very nice. All shaves have been very good. It makes a dense, thick slick lather but you have to avoid adding too much water or the slickness reduces. It's not Eufros or Mike's dense and slick but still good.

The issue I have is with the scents. They change quite significantly when lathered and @The Liquidator nailed it when he called them interesting. None of them made me want to use them again, but they weren't horrible some were initially nice but just not something I wanted to use again, despite smelling attractive from the tub.

Thanks to @Str8Mug for this pass-around. It been very interesting.

P.S. the box is now on it's way to @2hot 2trot
