Ah, remember the days when someone had, say a Wholly kaw soap or a rare Reef point soap for sale or trade and it would be pounced upon! Or someone was selling a great priced Muhle razor and it was all hands onboard!
Sadly, I think those days are gone. Most people now just want the next latest fad. Be it a modern twist on an old style razor with a brass and bronze look.
When I first started on this forum three years ago, I was introduced to a lot of big named traditional American/British soap makers, as well as a few British/European artisan soap makers such as "P&B, LP, OSP, TSF and Wickham's and then all the old classic makers Tobs etc and a slightly larger list of American artisan. But now there are too many in America! And each company has a their own version/homage to Apd, Creed, Ysl, Tom Ford or bloody Aventus!
I have had a Wholly Kaw and Reef point for trade, for well over a month and no offers of a trade, I had been thinking of adding a Meissner-tremonia "Himalayan Heights" soap and balm set to see if that would help entice members to trade but that too would probably just sit ideally! It is just the times we live in and unlike Gandalf, this too will pass.
