Thread: What's the deal with Burt's Bees Shaving stuff?

I was lucky to get ahold of a Burt's Bees shaving gift set. What I don't understand is why are they selling for so much? I see a lot of old old spice shaving stuff but the prices don't even come close to Burt's Bees.

Aren't most of their products premium priced compared to the "standards"? I know I use their lip balm and it's at least double what chapstick sells for...

I don't know why it's expensive either, but I think it has to do a lot with the packaging and the image associated with it. And on another note, I've heard that the shaving soap is good for washing your hands and not much else.

I had heard good things about the shaving soap, but I also heard that they discontinued it last fall.

Everything that I have seen is follwed by discontinued. It doesn't make much difference to me. I liked the look of the mug. I just wondered what the deal was. I'll write back on how the soap works though. Hopefully it's better than Williams Mug Soap!

I met a guy on Friday night who is a chemist for Burt's Bees here in Durham, NC

I should have asked him about their shaving stuff
