I'll play, use the Sherlock with the Sherlock.

 

[Rhody]

Quite a variety
I’d say just mix and match randomly and enjoy.

Make it random selection(s). Assign a number to each Soap, and A/S. Then role some dice cubes got with what they select.

Great haul!!

I would try the MdC with one of Myrsol options (those have been on my ‘to try’ list for awhile)!

That's a really interesting idea . . . I'll have to try it.

They are currently 29% off (I know weird right?) at Maggard's.

You've got quite the haul, congrats! And please keep us updated as to your thoughts on the different products. And my vote is for the MdC Agrumes with the Myrsol Lemon.

 

[Aziraphale]

Okay quick update.
1st shave with the MdC was a wash. I used wayyyyy too much water and it basically all but collapsed once it got to my face.

2nd shave was much better with the MdC. Great shave and it really left me 'squeaky clean'. A lot of soaps have a slick face feel after rinsing, the MdC does nothing of the sort. I followed it with the Myrsol Lemon which left me nice and lemony, however, after an hour or so I seem to have the distinct odor of Lemon Pledge.

In comparison to using something like Sterling Glacial Lemon, it's about the same (scent wise). Great up front but the dry-down yields Lemon Pledge. Maybe it's just the A/S that does that. Maybe if I pair the Lemon A/S with another scent they will compliment each other.

3rd shave I did the MdC with just a simple witch hazel splash afterward and I'm left with a nice (very faint) citrus scent. I'm getting to learn my way around using the MdC too. Keeping the foam nice and thick is essential. Going from a nice glide to hurky jurky chatter can be difficult to control. I'm glad I'm learning to use it with my Schick I1 which is small and mild. Folks say that the MdC can be a bit drying, but I don't really notice it.

More updates soon....

Nice haul, interested in hearing more of your thoughts as you try the products.

I would also suggest the Sherlock w/Sherlock.

Here you go.

Update . . .
Using the Sherlock with the Sherlock worked as expected. It's a nice combo and the Chiseled Face soap is very good quality.
So far, my favorite combo is the MdC Agrumes with the Fine L'Orange Noir. I'm beginning to understand just why the MdC is touted as being one of the finest shave soaps on the planet.

Note about the Myrsol Metilsol. I really don't like this one. I really think it's personal though. When I was growing up, my family had pets and hence, a small town vet who had his office on the same property as his home. Whatever he used to sanitize his examination table/room, reminds me of Metilsol. I really don't like smelling like a veterinary clinic. I ended up washing it all off and putting some Captain's Choice Cat-O-9-Tails over it just to over-power it.

Sherlock with the Sherlock.

[IgorKuzmin]

Should I buy them or nothing special?

Here is a thread you might like.

Favorite Myrsol?

I thought I'd give Myrsol a try. After reading the descriptions of each color I'm only confused. Anybody have a favorite that they could recommend?

I like the Antesol the best and might buy it at some point.
The others are just 'meh' and (of course) YMMV
