Mama Bears Shave Soap Sample Packs

**Mama Bear** · 05-08-2011, 10:46 PM

This has been a long while coming and many have asked for it, but there was a really, nice gentleman about a month or so ago who convinced me to do it, and I promised him that I would.

I have now grouped together 6 different categories of the shaving soap sample slivers to make it easier to order.. ie: if all you want to do is try a few mentholated soaps, you can just buy the Mentholated Sample Pack instead of choosing each one individually. I have 6 different sample packs put together at this time. Here is what I have so far...

Mentholated Shaving Soap Sample Slivers: 5 samples including Grapefruit Ice, Awakenings, Mandarin Ice, Lime Ice and Lilac Ice $3.99

Essential Oil Sampler: 12 samples including Lavender, Lime, Amyris, Spruce Needle, Basil Lime, Orange Orange, Myrrh, Star Anise, Eucalyptus, Rosemary Mint, Patchouli and Rosewood. $9.99

Men's Cologne Favorites: 11 samples including British Leather (English Leather Type), Aged Spice (Old Spice Type), Drakkar type, Dublin Tweed (Green Irish Tweed type, Black Code type, Brute (Brut), Gentleman (Givenchy Pour Homme type), Gucci for Him (Gucci Pour Homme type), Joop type, Romance Silver and Phoenix Rising(Fireside type). $9.99

Seasonal and Holiday Favorites: 9 samples including Autumn Afternoon, Christmas Forest, Fall Leaves, Frankincense & Myrrh, Oak Leaves & Acorns, Gingerbread, Sleigh Ride, Spiced Apple Cider and Welcome Home $6.99

Thanks Mama Bear, I was the recent recipient of a Black Code PIF. I love your soap and I wanted to try out a few more scents. This will make it so much easier!

**kingfisher** · 05-09-2011, 08:49 AM

Interesting idea. I think a lot of people will love this.

**Barber-Eile** · 05-09-2011, 09:20 AM

Awesome idea!!! I have a good few of your soaps and this'll be a great way for people to try a family of scents.

**Sunburst** · 05-09-2011, 10:08 AM

Something tells me I'll be ordering one of each come payday, lol. Thanks for doing this Sue.

**Mama Bear** · 05-09-2011, 10:41 AM

Oh, I am So Glad that you like this idea!! They are a lot of work, but nothing good in life comes easy does it?

This should definately make it easier.. at least until they come out with the scratch and sniff monitors..

Thanks!!! and Bear Hugs!

**EvilGobi** · 05-09-2011, 02:11 PM

Great idea Sue. I think I may need to try me some Menthol samples soon, its starting to finally get warm here now. I need to try the "Ice Ice Bergy" though I think.

**privatepilot17** · 05-09-2011, 02:34 PM

Great idea! I am going to order the mens colognes favorite sample pack today!

**Dalejr** · 05-09-2011, 03:20 PM

Very good idea. It took me awhile to figure out what samples I wanted to order.

**DunEdinRanger** · 05-09-2011, 03:25 PM

Ladies & Gentlemen,

As someone who has more than a few of MB's soaps, including two pucks of Brute in reserve for the Shavepocalypse, let me be the first to warn you against doing so.

Oh sure, a sliver here and a sliver there, and it all is so harmless until you have a full blown case of Mama Bear Soap Acquisition Disorder.

You'll want all the soaps in the sampler, so why not save yourself some time, some shipping, and just order them all now, anyway?

You know you're going to do it anyway.

**Hoos** · 05-09-2011, 03:31 PM

Great idea, Sue. I may have to get some samples.

And I want to say that you make me very, very happy to be taking more than Paypal.

I know that puts some added burden and cost on you, but I really dislike using Paypal. So I may be shopping more often!

**sid3000** · 05-09-2011, 04:17 PM

Thank you for this. I know it's annoying wrapping up and labeling those chunks of soap but this was a good move definitely!

**datzc** · 05-09-2011, 05:36 PM

I got some samples recently - all are wonderful and I'm getting quite a few shaves out of each. Even the slivers stand up to vigorous soaking and brushing.

**rickboone1** · 05-09-2011, 05:47 PM

I've been wanting to try some of these colognes anyway. How big are the samples? How much will shipping be? oops...nevermind, thought they were cologne samples.

**Mama Bear** · 05-09-2011, 06:17 PM

Oh, I am so happy today, making you all happy, makes me happy, very much so.. and yep, they are a RPITA... Royal Pain in the Anterior to do, but I think they will sell themselves if you like them.. and keep you from buying what you don't like in addition, so it is a win/win.

helpful hint for using the samples.. put in a ramakin or small bowl and nuke them for 3-4 seconds.. they will melt and when they cool, they will be easier to get lather out of with a brush.

I am working on cologne samples.. still down the road tho..

Bear Hugs, Sue

Wonderful tip, I am going to do that once my samples arrive!

**Dalejr** · 05-10-2011, 01:14 PM

My samples arrived today. I decided to try Energy first; For my microwave: 5 seconds wasn't enough, 9 was too much so might have lost some of the scent but it still had a nice light Citrusy smell. Plenty of thick lather, more than I've ever gotten out of any soap or cream that I've used before. Face isn't dried out afterwards, I give Energy and Mama Bear two thumbs up

**LECLAIREC** · 05-10-2011, 01:31 PM

I will be purchasing a metric butt-ton of these samples. Goodbye savings account... And with VISA I CAN RUN CREDIT!!!! AHAHAHHAHAHAH!

Love this Sue, I only have your dragonblood so far but will soon be needing many many many many many more I am sure

**Mr. Styptic** · 05-10-2011, 01:46 PM

For B&Bers who have been considering these soaps, jump on these samples! I'm making my way through 22 samples from Sue's most recent special, and not one of them has been a disappointment. Great scents, good to excellent shaves.

Edit: The avatar came before Sue's soaps did.

Please don't update your site to allow Visa! Lol. I have a student PayPal account and when I need to buy something online I give cash money to my mom and she transfers me money to my PayPal. Basically it is a PITA and I really have to want something to go through all that. Now all I need to do is use my debit card?! There goes all my money. Lol.
