Impressive that you’ve covered 22 soaps. Are you intending to rank them or even rate them into wonderful / average / awful categories?

I am. It's been a busy week, but I think I'm finally through my notes. I'm going to try and make at least the intro video today.

Introduction to the wrap-up is live.

Here's video 2. My runners up. These were all good, just not the best for me.

And so it ends...

Late addition to the party. This one is really good, but you'll have to beg Shannon if you want her to release it.

One more entry to the list...

I talk about that one in my Good But Not Best video. The light scent strength kept it out of the Best list.

We love to hear that the performance was on spot for you. (Sorry, the video was giving me issues when I tried loading it last night, finally got to watch it!). I showed this to Greg last night as well, he hadn’t seen it yet! We appreciate the review and will look into our fragrance levels!

I prefer stronger scents. Not everyone does. But I do think your soap is one of the best performing soaps I've tried, not just vegan soaps. I also appreciate your commitment to value. You made my 5 Artisans For Life tag video as my best value pick. There are only a handful of artisans out there making really good soaps and splashes for a combined price of under $4 / oz. So far I've only used the Irish Flats. I plan on picking up your sampler soon, but I wasn't sure how the soaps would fare in our 115 degree AZ heat, so I've been holding off until the fall just in case.
