I've been reading all of the comments and reviews and have finally decided to take the plunge and try these very highly regarded vendors. From Mike's, I got a shave soap stick of Barbershop and then samples of everything else (except coconut.... yuck). From Queen Charolette Soaps I got full size pucks of Green Irish Tweed Type and Esquire in the wooden bowls, GIT preshave lotion, and a 5 slice sampler of the following soaps: Basilica, Fougere, Vetiver, Queen Charlotte, and Celestial Woods. It's payday.... I couldn't resist. I really don't need any other soaps.... but I'm curious. I do obsolutely love wearing Creed Green Irish Tweed cologne, so it will be good to have a soap with the same fragrance vibe to it. Besides, I got all of what I listed above for just under $90, which is less than the cost of one puck and bowl of shave soap from Creed.... so I feel like quite the frugal shopper. Can't wait to try all of these!
