Y or N: Would I get it again?
Even a yes is qualified by the desire to try something new first, though.
Pre-shave
Proraso - still deciding
Clinique Face Scrub (Y) - Particularly good after skipping a day or two
Soaps
Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - sample (Y)
Tiki - Surf's Up - sample (N) - I might try another Tiki variety, but there's much to try before that
Williams Mug Soap (Y) - I got great results and enjoyed it a lot. That also goes for the "Brave Willy" experiment in which I shredded a puck and soaked it in Bravas aftershave.

Geo. F. Trumper Violet - sample (N) - dried out; couldn't form an accurate opinion.
La Toja stick (Y)
Taconic Lime (Y) - I liked it very much.
Paladin Tobacco Road - sample (Y) - excellent product; too bad that it's being discontinued.

H2O+ Marine (Y) - Very nice brushless product, would get again if it reappears in discount stores
Laline (Y) - Sample intrigued me enough
