New Aussie Artisan Soap Producer - are you in? *** FREE soaps ***

[Mark1966]

You have enough

Oh dear, with a lather like that I'm now having second thoughts on the soap review we might get ...

 

[Mark1966]

@Mark1966 , lovely initiative and thanks for making us aware of a new Aussie Artisan.

Always enjoy supporting local artisans, but they do come and go a little too as we are such a small market.

I also appreciate @Ozwhisker who has brought the wonderful Stirling Soap Co products to our shores through https://artisanarcade.com/ and the other local shaving vendors who import overseas favourites too.

Challenge accepted.
I'm going to see if I can whip up a lovely face mask with this new soap

Well said. I usually think of Stirling as a de facto Australian producer, thanks to the efforts of @Ozwhisker. I really don't need any more soap, but I definitely have some more Stirling in mind for 1/1/2026.

If you don't mind me asking, which one(s) did you order? I'm thinking of trying the Serenity in January next year...

Well spotted! Yeah a couple new scents just released. My testers said that the menthol is a little stronger than proraso green, for a reference point.

Let me look into that @LesC. If I can find a decent old spice dupe fragrance we may just be able to save your supply

Good luck with that, not very many artisan soap makers can get it very close to the original vintage old spice scent shaving soap.

@LesC can you send a sample of the vintage old spice soap to @WoollyWunder, so she can make it as close as possible.

There are some real menth heads around so an option could be to have an extra strong menthol version.

 

[WoollyWunder]

I've ordered a small bottle of an old spice dupe fragrance to try. But @SpeedyPC is right I have no idea what the OG old spice smells like. Maybe I can send you @LesC a sample once made and you can judge it?

Menth head haha thats a new one for me. That's a great idea though and I may do it down the track.

There are a few menth heads around here, but at least one of them was growing a beard last time we heard from him. Go figure...

Prolonged exposure to high levels will do that to you, kids. Use in moderation!
