Hi Tobin, I just started giving away samples with orders, but at the moment, I’m not sure about selling them. The main reason is it takes actually the same amount of time to prepare a sample as it does a full jar of soap. We’ve been giving away Latte e Menta which will be my next Legacy offering. I’ll think more about samples and see if it makes business sense to do it. I actually printed boxes for samples, but never got around to doing them. I’m really glad you liked this soap. To be honest, I should have released it in Ultima. Most of our creams are dupes. However, Sylvan Fog, Plum & Bliss (my fav) and a couple others were created in-house. I’m not a big fan of doing dupes, but many customers love them, so moving forward any dupe we do will be within the creams
Peter, just a question based off your comment. Could you still offer this in the ultima base as well? Customers who bought the cream that fall in love with the scent may purchase the soap with the better base once they’ve tried the more economical option. Don’t get me wrong, the cream is hard to beat, but I know I would purchase it in the ultima if available based on my experience with the cream.
@@Bam76 Hi, Yes, I’m thinking about this and may just switch over. I don’t want to get in a habit of offering in 2 bases. I already know what will happen, it’ll open the floodgates. 😆. I know the hobbyists very well…I was one of them.
Great shave Tobin! I'm really glad to see you finally giving A&E some love. I own a half dozen of Peter's soaps, cream's, and splashes.... and of all the soaps, cream's, and splashes that I also have from other artisans, Peter's products continue to maintain in my top 3 for post shave feel.
Nice outdoor shave. Love Ariana and Evan’s. I do have some of their shaving cream under the Pedro fiasco label and I enjoy their skin food splashes. Have a great week Tobin! Audio was great only at the beginning I think I heard some weird noise.
Thanks Manny! I was trying to figure out the noise. I didn't notice it live, but during the playback I did. Sounds like a machine in the distance or the train. There is a train yard not far from where I was. It's like a mile or a little more but I think some kind of machine noise was coming from that direction. Two more days! Bring on the weekend!
Audio is very good! Beautiful Arno! That soap scent is definitely in my wheel house. You could use a nice hot cup of Matcha Tea! Have a great day Tobin.
Audio is good! I agree that the Voskhod and Rapira blades are perfect in the1930ss razors. I picked up a few samples from Maggards, but they were older scents in the ealry bases. The seed pod is likely from a maple tree. We always called those helicopters 😂 I am falling in love with A&E soaps. I've only tried the Kaizen and Ultima bases, but damn their good! Gotta work through some inventory before I go ham again 😅
Love that location! Great spot for a fragrance like that. I have one shave cream and one of the kaizen bases from A&E and they’re pretty nice. My complaint about A&E is there current availability of aftershave is zilch, for everything I feel like trying with exception of the Maullu set. Anyhow, thanks for another great review. As for your troll problem, I have some great advice, but it’s not UA-cam friendly 😂.
Thanks Lee! Yeah, there are a few that I want that aren't available too including some EDP. I LOVE The Novelist, I have the soap and splash but the EDP hasnt been available. Hope you had a good week!
Great shave Tobin. Love your outdoor shaves. Earthy fragrances are not for me. I just received 2 A&E soaps and splashes yesterday. They were Spartacus and Corinthian Leather. I used Spartacus today and it made a fantastic creamy lather. The scent is very light and not very strong but wonderful. I will be using Corinthian Leather tomorrow. If you like leather fragrances, you will love this one. Have a great week. 👍
Thanks William, I recently bought Corinthian Leather, I received it last week and have used it once. It's a good one, I eventually want to review it. I haven't tried Spartacus yet. Have a good day sir!
Great review Tobin. B roll sweep? What a setting. 41°c here yesterday. Effing warm! People don't understand how Melbourne can cook in summer. Have you done Khalifa yet or have I missed? If not then looking forward to it. Like to hear thoughts.
The audio sounds fine but there is a low “white noise”. It does not interfere with your talking. It may be wind even my computer 😅. Good discussion on the fragrance as always. Have a great week.
@@Tobins_throwbacksI checked and it was on 720. I changed it to 1080. The low sound I hear is not disrupting your talk. I may also be just background noise.
No. Ariana and Evans does not do samples. I just asked Peter a few weeks ago and he told me no samples. Which stinks because I really want to try his woods and spices you reviewed!
I have Sylvan Fog & Plum & Bliss but have not tried them yet. They are in the queue. You seemed distracted this video and a bit discombobulated. Hope all is going well.
Curious to know what you think of Sylvan when you do, I was a little scattered just due to being in a great mood and excited about the fragrance 😊 thanks Steve!
Thought you drove City Bus, now you are driving Milk Delivery Vehicle? Well maybe you got two job to fund your hobbies. Like the Brush you acquired from friend.
Well, I'm a little bit on the older side, so generally cougars don't bother with me, be if they do I'll buy them a couple of drinks, then they are much easier to handle. LMAO! Trolls, well that's just weird. I was just imagining you're at an AA meeting, a veteran in the program stands up and shares an experience and some guy sober a day, just ridicules his story. Where are these shave guys with 100K subscribers? Hahaha! Weird! Sounds like an interesting scent and with your description I totally get the picture Peter was after. I'm sure I would like it as those are some of the interesting scents that you encounter in the woods. We don't have civets in North American, but we have a cousin, skunks-hahaha! I'm sure you've heard about that super pricey coffee that is produced from civets that eat coffee berries and people collect their scat, then roast the coffee berries from it. I've heard it's really good, but to pricey for me to even just try. Even just the normal price, of some of A&E's soaps is really a bargain. I'll have to try their splash, as I don't think I have a soap set of a scent yet, but I have been looking at that Matcha Cha Cha. Chasing the Dragon has been one that I've long wanted to try. I think the Razor Company and I know Maggards have samples of A&E. That's how I first tried A&E from Maggards. He does some nice scents and I like that they all his own creation. Have a great week bro!
At my age I prefer cougars 😊 That's what I thought as well , even Geofatboy is under 100k like 94k. Lol people! And great analogy! I'm glad I'm not the only one that had a WTF moment reading his comments, normally I don't share them but I felt like that one was so off the wall that it deserved public acknowledgment😅 Have a good one brother
@@Tobins_throwbacks I rarely go through the comment section and some of that is time management, but it also keeps me from engaging with trolls. I do get trolls now and then, but when you're friendly and nonchalant about things, they just move on. I didn't know Geo had that many! That's really rare in wet shaving! Have a great one bro!

@ I get that too
Is Tobacco Cashmere a dupe?
Great thumbnail and pictures!
Thanks, the lighting was perfect that day!
Right. I am trying a Rapira in my Tech the next time I use it. Thank you for the recommendation.
Let me know what you think!
I forgot to mention, the sound is 👍👍
Thanks brother!
Outdoor and earthy sound like magic words to my ears.
@@leehaseley2164 right?
That makes three of us😊
@stagsandstaples1127 🤜🤛🙌
Beautiful! Winter has certainly taken hold 🥶
It's getting cold out here! But the lather was so warm 😊
Another great review Tobin, in-depth and honest, thank you
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! 😊
Arno make some absolutely stunning brushes. I am stoked for you, Tobin.
I have another one he sent me, I'll try to remember to DM you a picture of it. I want to talk with you anyways 😊

What's your favorites from A&E?
Asian Plum, Woods and Spices, and Peach Cognac
Another great review! Happy Monday!
Thanks brother, you too! 😊
Great fun, Tobin, thanks! Your reviews are awesome and always well-thought-out; don't care what anyone says.
Thank you, I appreciate the support! I enjoy making them!
Good stuff Maynardb😀 I look forward to your outdoor shaves!🥶
😁 thanks!
Audio is good Tobin. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Michael, have a good one brother!
🐐 - I got a sample in the B1 Razor I just used it, I can't believe how cheap their soap is for how well it performs. Great outdoor shave as always!
Alex! Right? The performance for the price is UNREAL.
Hope you're having a great week!
And, thanks brother!
Thank you to the gentleman who gave Tobin the beautiful brush.
I'm purchasing it from it along with a giant load of others. I need to try and sell most of them.
Great review Tobin Have a great week buddy
Thanks man you too!
I would say, dearest Squirrel Lord, that these "creams" bring a value of at least $10 than their price.
I would agree! Especially at 5.3 oz

Great idea! I have the Soap from A&E 😊 have a good week my brother!
Thanks Tobin

😊 thanks Sean! I mostly worry about them when the dogs are with me. Have a good one brother!

When you are ready, be sure to try a cream. Dorado is another good one.
Take care Jeff 🙏
Great spot!
Thanks! I trekked off trail a little for the setup 👍👍
That tree to your right has two lives; its own and that of the beautiful moss in which it is blanketed.
It was so cool, when I saw it.. I was like oh yeah! You're going to be in my video lol
Sound is good, lather looks good too. Thanks for the review and opinion
Thanks brother, I appreciate that!
The mic? Loud and clear. Fantastic audio quality
Thank you sir!

🙏👍👍 thank you!!
Morning Tobin!
Evening Chris!

Thanks! I haven't done Khalifa yet, I need to get the splash, I only have the soap.
Stay cool Rod!
Shaving with sunbeams!
It was a good day!
For moment there I was waiting for Ernest P Worrel to pop up😅😊
😜🤣
Your description of the fragrance sounds very similar to Summer Storm by Chiseled Face which I like very much
I haven't tried that one, but if it's like this I'll love it!
Have a good one!
Foucus Tobin😅 i have to do the same thing 😅😅
Lol
The audio sounds fine but there is a low “white noise”. It does not interfere with your talking. It may be wind even my computer 😅. Good discussion on the fragrance as always. Have a great week.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out by listing again are you watching at 1080p? appreciate the heads up!
Have a good one Andy!
@ I believe that I am at 1080. I will check. It may be my hearing as well
UA-cam can be wired it's like they "throttle" us, I have to change mine every day

😅
How do I get a scoop?
😉
No. Ariana and Evans does not do samples. I just asked Peter a few weeks ago and he told me no samples. Which stinks because I really want to try his woods and spices you reviewed!
I learned that Maggards has them, but I don't believe they currently have that one 😞

I got scared then that trolls had done me out of my B-roll completely.
Wait, you thought there wouldn't be a B-roll? Is that what you mean?
You are the Milkman, your milk is delicious.
Umpqua is fantastic!
