The Maggard starter kit special. It's funny how long this handle feels now, but at the time when ordering as someone completely new to wetshaving, I thought I was getting the most bang for my buck with the heaviest, longest handle. Honestly, I still really enjoy this scent. It's just clean and soothing in all the right ways. While I don't have a London Barbershop fragrance, I went with a Maggard Exclusive scent with Barrister and Mann Fougère Gothique. If you haven't tried Gothique, I highly recommend it but suggest a sample. It's a vibe. While I absolutely love every time I use FG, I don't think I could comming to running it for an entire month. You've definitely gotta be in the right mood for it.
With Maggard Razors' low threshold for free shipping, I really don't have a ton of huge orders. Any time a new release would pop up, I would not hesitate to just grab that set plus a few other small items I was running low on. My biggest order $ wise was two fragrances (RIP APR). A single, most stupid order isn't coming to mind. I've never really YOLO'd an entire collection or brand or anything like that. My 3rd ever Maggard order consisted of 17 samples across a slew of brands. Ariana & Evans, Barrister & Mann, Catie's Bubbles, Chiseled Face, Noble Otter, Southern Witchcrafts, and Black Ship Grooming.
