Within the last couple of years my (adult) children have introduced me to the joy of tapas, essentially making a meal out of appetizers, and it's my favorite way to eat. Why commit to one entree when I can try a dozen?
In a similar way, after a year of shaving with Proraso and DR Harris and Cella - I decided to try some samples from Wholly Kaw and Mike's Natural and Stirling. What a hoot! While I'm sure the per shave cost is high, in absolute out-of-pocket dollars the expense is nearly trivial*, and every day I have my choice of a dozen excellent soaps! The WK requires some pre-work, scooping and pressing, but the Mike's and Stirling "short pucks" fit a container so don't even require that - and Stirling's labels can peel and restick so it all looks professional.
I may never buy a full puck again. Or, maybe a puck or two of my favorite WK for those days I just want to sleep through the shave...
Happy shaving,
Tim
*Compared to, for example, the four tires I bought this morning for $880.
