Default Look what I found in todays mail.

No, not another razor, although that would be nice, but some Truefitt & Hill shaving cream, a/s balm and cologne samples.

Truefitt & Hill are awesome. I have their full range of creams and I can't tell you how much you will like them (especially 1805).... I haven't tried their balms yet so if you could let me know how they perform I'll be ya pal for life!

I am not familiar but it looks like a great bunch of samples. How did you manage to rate such a prize?

basically, ask and ye shall receive. I found their phone number on their Chicago website and just called them up and asked for samples. I'd heard of another fellow doing the same only emailing them and askin, so I thought, why not give it a try. Now to decide which one to use first lol.

We can probably trade a few things. And Rick, at first I thought you said you'd be Tony's PayPal for life, haha. And I thought to myself, I'd better start reviewing some samples myself!

Will toss a few things in the car. This should be fun, finally putting faces and names together.

I tried their Grafton shaving cream, a/s balm and the cologne later on. The balm is great! I like the aroma, and as good if not better than Nivea for Men. You can't go wrong with T&H.

I'll have to give the UK branch a call to set up some samples for myself! I wonder if they're as generous as the folks across the pond!!

That's a big yes as I received my samples last week...Just ask them politely in a email. It took forever
to arrive but it was free. Have not tried any yet.

It took a week from the time I called until they arrived, and the note they sent said that the cologne was for my having to wait a little longer than normal. When I called they were out of the lids for the shaving cream and balm containers or they would've had them in the mail the same day.
