So,
As Im sure Ive mentioned in every post that Ive made here at B&B, Im fairly new to world of classic wetshaving. I still havent decided if it is a hobby, an interest, a way of life, an obsession, or perhaps an illness; but I like this weird & wonderful world more and more with each shave.
My problem (of the morning) is as follows: it appears that there are approximately 1,200 products that I am just dieing to try (not including brushed and blades) but my budget says, NO! (and it says so in a very convincing and authoritative voice). In several posts here Ive noticed people mentioning samples of this or that and Im curious; how exactly do you convince somebody to give you samples of their wonderful and expensive products, and how much more difficult would it be to get these samples if you happen to live hundreds (or thousands) of miles away from most of the best retailers (and in most cases, in a different country Canada)? Anybody have any ideas as to how I might score some freebies (or at least some really cheap-ies)?
