I've got around 18 samples from Nannys Silly Soaps company. I don't really know what EO smells of what, so I thought it was a good opportunity to find out and at the same time see if I can find a soap I particularly like the smell of.
I've got them all still in their original doggy bags in a glass kilner - so I don't get assaulted by a pack of smells.
My plan is to use one of them at a time, and make a wee note on my feelings towards it. I'm also hoping to learn what things smell as a result of doing that.
What I am thinking about though, is how to use the samples without wasting them, and how to make them last a reasonable length of time. There's 10g in each so that's nearly 200g of shaving soap, and I'd like get the most out of it that I can.
How would you suggest I use it? My best thought just now is to chuck the whole lot down the bottom of a Muhle shaving mug and lather it up in that, but not wash the mug out until I've finished each 10g.
I also have 6.5 and a 4 inch stainless steel bowls which are reasonably smooth inside, and I can of course use a nice big mug from the kitchen...
Alternatives might be to put a bit of the soap in the bowl and lather up keeping the rest in the packet...
I'm not particularly experienced with shaving soaps and I'd rather not go through 2 or 3 samples before I get a knack for it!
