Another soap thread…

Echo on Grooming Dept.

With the new shipping policy, join forces with another one or two in the UK and get free shipping on five tubs, I think it was. Next release is 812 October(?) - info on the GD website.

Thanks Halvor. I'll have a look now.

I reckon I'll have to go for a Grooming Dept soap soon. I've had a look in the past but they are usually sold out or none of the scents appeal to me at the time.

Go for unscented - I have the same problem ;-)

Hi David,
I know you're a big fan of APR. I tried Fougere Trois which was OK but I found the scent disappointing.

I might have to. There's not much info on the site is there.

Rob, Ozymandias and Fenchurch are practically guaranteed to like.

I'll send samples.

*The ones I already use are Martin De Candre, Saponificio Varesino, Eufros

I don't think you'll find much inspiration in any brand after these three honestly, but my experience is not the broadest.

I think sometimes we wind up chasing our own tails with various acquisition syndromes.

I remain unimpressed by pretty much everything (usually after a 72 hour honeymoon period of enjoying it ) About six months ago I said that henceforth I would only buy two artisan soap brands (MdC & LPL) and I stick by it.

No recommendations, on my part, except for Mystic Water, but if you have tried most of the soaps, available, I wouldn't bother with this one.
I would suggest you use whatever soap(s) really please you and which are the easiest to source, seeing as you are in the UK.

I have minimized my soaps to only one and I may go further and just use the unscented version as my primary soap when I deplete the other scented versions.

No one's mentioned Sudsy Soapery?
Possibly the best veggie and a contender in the tallow.

I have at the moment on my shelf, Stirling ( Which you don't like) A&E and B&M. I have Tabac and MdC too. They are out so that leaves A&E and B&M both which I can enthusiastically recommend. Speik is great I have the stick. Haslinger is a terrific slick soap if you haven't tried it Rob.

I think my "end game" will probably be MDC unscented.

You sent me a sample Kevin and it's a brilliant soap base...but there wasn't any scents which appealed to me. It's been a while since I checked them out so please forgive me if they have added a load of new scents. Again maybe going unscented is an option in the future?
