    Default Splash Samplers?

    Having basically given up on finding brick and mortars that sell all the cool sounding aftershaves I read about here, is there a cheap way to amass a bunch of tiny aftershave samples?

    In other words, it could be cool if one could buy those tiny little vials they give away free at department stores.

    I wanna find out what Tabac, Alt-Innsbruck, Speick, SCS, Booster's, Trumper and Proraso smell like without blowing hundreds of dollars on this experiment.

    I've already amassed a fair amount of stuff that I may never use (wanna trade?) It's time to stop the madness!!

    SCS sells samples of their AS. Superlather.com offers decants of many foreign AS brands.

    I've been thinking the same thing! Time to check out SCS and superlather.

    There's a Booster's sampler available somewhere (from one of our vendors) but I can't remember who it is. It isn't Superlather. If you get down to Chicago sometime, check out Merz Apothecary--they have lots of stuff out that you can try.

    I don't know if this is where you saw it, but Shoebox does have all 8 varieties in 1oz samples for $17.31.

    and Bullgoose Shaving has the Ogallala Bay Rum sampler (five 2oz bottles) for $15.95:

    Also, have you thought about posting a WTB? Perhaps not the cheapest route, but most people have an overstock of Aftershaves, and would probably be willing to decant off a little for you.
