I made a batch of shaving cream a couple months ago and while it shaves well for me I have some changes I want to make so I'm eager to move on to the next iteration. It would take me a very long time to use it up and I can't justify making more until its gone so I need to give away some cream. I have about 200 grams of each of the followings scents:
absinthe (anise, star anise, fennel, peppermint, sage, lemongrass, citronella, coriander)
peppermint/spearmint
lavender/rosemary/spearmint

I have some unscented as well but its only unscented in the sense that I didn't add any. It has an odor all its own that, while not too bad, I wouldn't want under my nose for prolonged periods of time. I may scent it later on to try out some other blends.

I figure the easiest way to go about this is offer sample sizes to anyone who wants some (for free) until I run out. One scent or all 3.

The only thing I want in return is feedback. What can I do to make it better? I have some changes in mind already but I'll withhold that so I don't taint anyone else's opinion.

Ingredients: aloe vera juice, stearic acid, myristic acid, potassium hydroxide, distilled water, sweet almond oil, shea butter, glycerin, lecithin, fragrance, boric acid, sodium hydroxide, vitamin E

The absinthe scented cream also has liquid chlorophyll for color.

It may take me a while to ship samples out since I would need to order containers but I'll be as quick as possible. If interested, let me know.

Thanks

Hey, I'll give you feedback! Let me know where to send postage and I'm willing to try a shave's worth of any one of them or each

great idea

Edit: I just read ragnost's post and I like his idea better. I'm withdrawing my offer thanks though, great idea!

[Tink]

would love to try some but the almond oil and shea butter put it into the 'might kill my fiance' catagory, and so alas cannot. will give you rep/thanks for the offer though

[ragnost]

I'll pay the postage to the UK and give you feedback on one each of all three, or I could give some of them out at the UK get together if you want to send some over I received 60 1/4 oz samples at a cost of $10.00 if it's any help

[nun2sharp]

Im game, pm sent.

[chief]

Being the Absinthe nut I am, i would very much like a taste/shave of that.

[jockeys]

interested in trying out the absinthe cream. pm me with payment details, and i'll get right on it.

[RichZ]

Would be interested in being a tester.

[Detach]

I wouldn't mind testing the lot of them. Just send a PM and we can get the details out of the way :-)

[cybrok]

You got me at Absinth

I'd love to test that one for you (and for me).

And I could tell you if it's ok for sensitive skins.

[gary3465]

Hi I would like to try any of these out.
Would the container stand up to abeing posted to the UK.
If so can you let me know the postage?

Thanks

[Utopian]

To paraphrase what Cybrok said, you had me at free!

I will gladly try any or all of the three and will certainly provide feedback, though my shave cream experience is limited to a single tube of Caswell-Massey almond shave cream I bought on sale and have only used when traveling.

[Philadelph]

I'd like to try the absinthe only really. I'll give you honest feedback and plenty of it! PMing you now!

[Kevin8888]

I'd love to try some for you, any sent is cool with me! PM on its way!

[lawman2]

I would like to try all three scents. Just tell me how much the postage is and where to send it.

Thanks.

[jwoods]

i would like to try them all if you need the postage and container costs covered let me know

[badboris]

i would like to try any or all
will give honest feedback good or bad
sending PM

willing to pay postage to Canada and container

[claytor]

I'd be more than happy to offer feedback. I sent a PM.

[cstewart]

Awesome! I was hoping I wouldn't have to beg people to take it from me. I'm going to start a list in the first post in chronological order with what scents each person wants and look into ordering some sample containers. It looks like the absinthe will run out first!

I haven't responded to pms yet since I don't have any details to give out but I'll let everyone know when I do.

Thanks!

[Smurf87]

If the deal is still going, I wouldn't mind trying some of whatever you have still.

V/r,
Scott
