I'd be really interested in seeing you do some reviews with some UK artisans soaps. I'm sure we can get you some samples! what do you say?
Do you have any suggestions for UK artisans I should look at?
@mantic59 i'd put my top 3 against any international Artisan to not only hold their own. For the purposes of transparency if its forum members were to get you samples would that be doable. That way it would be unbiased.
Do you charge for your reviews @mantic59 ?
Not as a rule, no. I do occasionally run a sponsored post or video but it's always labeled that way and I tell the sponsor up front that I need to use the product for a while and I will give my honest opinion (I have found some really nice products that way--Beau Brummel For Men is a good example--and I have turned down many opportunities, too).
I have some Wickham "Russian Leather" that I like. I should get going on a review of that.
@mantic59 yes indeed on the Wickham front Russian Leather is up there as a solid scent. I go through cycles of which scents I use near solid for weeks and Russian Leather is one i've just restocked so good choice IMO.I have some Wickham "Russian Leather" that I like.

Been a while since I tried Nanny's: it didn't perform particularly well for me with my hard water. I'll have to pick up a new puck to see how it's changed.
I'm not very familiar with OSP but I see they have both shave soap and shave cream. Should I try the soap or the cream first?
Looks like most of the Phoenix & Beau shave soaps are sold out (at least on their site) which sort of concerns me. The descriptions of Albion and Spit Fire don't really "trip my trigger" but I might pick up some Imperial Rum.
Plenty of Phoenix & Beau at Connaught Shaving. They ship Stateside quickly and almost free.Looks like most of the Phoenix & Beau shave soaps are sold out (at least on their site) which sort of concerns me.

Yep, sure. A lot of the time it comes down to demand. That and the fact that Phoenix and Beau is a two person operation (Sarah and myself) that fits in with the raising of our two nippers (7 and nearly 4) and my full time occupation elsewhere.

Busy. Times.
All good, though
Thanks Avnish, we really appreciate it. I can still clearly remember your very first post that centred on our first samples going out and you doing a lather test. I don't think I've seen one better sinceYour doing great Kerry and we're all grateful for it. But I'm sure you don't need me telling you that
