Absolutely!What the heck. I'm in. (A guy has to keep things interesting in a sabbatical.)
Nice! Enjoy the weather, music and the good scents..........I've been tracking all day. I checked about half an hour ago, and it hadn't been delivered. I just checked again, given that it's 5:00 here in Seattle, and USPS now claims it was delivered at 10:20 this morning. I can't pick it up from work tonight, but I'll train in tomorrow to pick up the goodies. It'll be fun, as we're part of a big music festival on the Seattle Center campus, bands will be performing, the weather will be in the 80s, and I'll get to sniff some new shaving creams.
Glad you finally got them. Enjoy the shaves amigo.Just stopped by the office to pick up the package! I sat at my desk and sniffed all 15 of the samples. I wore Black Ship Grooming's Captain's Pipe aftershave, which has real staying power, this morning so my sniffer was off a bit, but I did the best I could. Some of them smell like some of the soaps/creams I already have, so they'll be riding the pine. The others I prioritized. The winner, based on a hasty trial (the sun is blasting!), is Coconut Sandalwood, which I plan to use tomorrow. On deck is Musk (a scent I don't have in pure form except for Clubman musk aftershave, which I haven't used in a couple of years). My plan is to ship them off to the next lucky soul a week from tomorrow. Thanks, Gus!
The scent is amazing with the Coconut Sandalwood. Just fills the room. And you're right, you don't need much to get these creams to create an enormous amount of lather. And the residual slickness is pretty darn good also. How was the post shave feel though Scott?I had my first shave today with Stone Cottage. The Coconut Sandalwood retains its tremendous scent throughout the shave. And the lather! It exploded into a scuttle-full with very little effort. It reminds me of Castle Forbes and Baume.be, my two best lathering creams. I used the same amount I use with those two creams, but it was too much. Tomorrow I'll scale back with the Musk. This stuff is the real deal. Thanks for letting us experience SC, Gus!

Just chiming in, enjoy your shaves SC creams are excellent. I bought 2 samplers for myself months ago and ended up getting tubs of Hesperide and Suede de Kashmir. Almond Flower was another excellent scent but it's similar to a few florals I have otherwise I would own it too.
