    Wow, that's some collection, and it goes to show you that things can just keep growing almost out of control. I think its that want to try everything. I'm pretty sure that if I went through my storage section that I too would come across things that I don't remember getting.

    But its O.K., because I know I'll get around to using them sometime.

    Quite frankly, it's incredible! Here's my review.
    When I open it now, there's a nice blend of lemon and rose -vs- the initial opening was a lemon blast. I think that might have been due to high temps while being shipped bringing out more of the lemon. You really can't go wrong with this one. It's my favorite of her soaps and you can see I have a bunch.

    This should turn into a "lay all of your stuff out on one table" thread. That way we can see whose shaveweenie is biggest. I'm going to wait until my wife goes into labor and is at the hospital before I participate...I don't want her nagging while she's having contractions at home.

    oh now, you're gonna get him hooked on FP's too. penmanship got me started, luckily i found a FP i love, the Pilot VP (medium) and have managed to not buy any more.

    we are lucky in Wpg to have at least 5 good standing B&B members (plus me, but i'm not what my standing is )
    Well i thought i dodged a bulled with the NIB guys lol got back to work after the best lunch in a while, and ten minutes later Sam comes walking in with a pen,... oh goodness lmao i think im going to have to restrain myself on these things lmao, but !!

    i know now what speik smells like, i know what tabac smells like, pens BB i have a bit to try out wow that stuff is fantastic smelling cant wait to try it out, soem momma bears ye ole barber shop that is strong, but reminds me of my gramps

    and a slant to borrow complete with loading instructions thank you for that i would have done it wrong lol was a lot of fun packed into a tight time

    well it is in a very nice looking glass jar with a gorgeous chromed out lid and great script along the top, and the stuff is super soft feels like its made of cloud, which given the scent that must be it, angels making clouds into Pens !

    thats why samples are great, you dont have to take up much room to try something new and decide if it fits into your rotation, im afraid to say the penns may make the cut though

    um..you mean two rt? you have to let one dry out completely between uses..
    and...how abt a backup for that razor...heaven forbid something happens to it ..you know...
    and ...how abt a stand for the two brushes and two razors?
    and...it could get boring using the same soap day in and day out..how abt just one more to use on the weekends..something nice ..mebbe a lemon scented..or sandalwood..
    and...soaps are fine ...but if you are travelling how abt getting to know a cream..you know just in case you have to travel..its good to be ready...
    and..

    The pleasure was all mine. I was curious about how some of the stuff smelled as well.
    BTW I think the Proraso Sandalwood smells just fine
