I did get that scent. The wife chose that and its pretty good. Sweet scent with loads of caramel, honey etc. Kinda like jersey caramel lollies to me.

Good slickness and whips up pretty easy using synth, boar or badger.

I propose an update!

No worries! I lost the list like 4 times when trying to post it :ROFLMAO:

Yep, that's the updated list. I went through all the links and updated them, removed the ones that no longer exist and that can't find any trace of, split the producers into "Software" & "Hardware" groupings and sorted alphabetically because my OCD made me.

Hopefully these artisans get some more love and recognition!

Awesome work Tom
 
Casn't believe I'm saying this but I missed an artisan producer :cry: @Mark1966 would you mind adding the below to the Software section of the list?

Stuga [Soaps, Oils and More] (Stuga also has a small range of brushes they make themselves and razors from several manufacturers)

I have used the Stuga shave soap.
Not bad when on sale for about $12 but not worth full price when compared to brands like Cells, Mitchell's et al

Fair call, always good to give the Aussie artisans a go though and give them feedback so they can improve 👌

@Sxot is the owner of this soap maker and I haven’t heard or seen him on P&C for ages, almost two years now... I think???

Has anyone been in contact with @Sxot???

Hope he's still around as his soap base is wonderful and great customer service!
