Thread: Thanks again, Colleen ... I think :)

This morning I shaved with the sample of orange patchouli soap that I got a few weeks back. As I was getting things together to leave for work, my lovely wife put her arms around me and said, "Mmmm. You smell good. ........................... I want some orange juice."

We had a good laugh about it, so I thought I'd pass along the feedback.

BTW, I find the 1 oz. size is consistently lasting me three to four weeks. I got four 1 oz. pucks and a 3 oz. puck just before Christmas, and I'm currently using the fourth of the smaller soaps. I haven't broken out the 3 oz. Gentleman's Oak & Moss yet. Sounds like a good scent for spring.

Josh, that's how she gets you hooked.. Soon enough you'll be buying 3 years' supply of her stuff

I've recently become addicted to Colleen's Bay Rum w/ Sweet Orange shaving soap. I am very picky when it comes to shaving creams and soaps because my skin is extremely sensitive and can react quite violently to a lot of perfumes and scents. This shaving soap makes a creamier lather than a lot of commercially available soft creams I've tried and is also much kinder to my skin. My girlfriend also really loves the scent. Needless to say, I'm quite impressed.

Colleen's soaps (shaving and bath) seem to be a favorite around my house and family. what i thought was enough for myself and gifts to my BIL and friends was quickly mis-appropriated by the daughters, a niece and 2 sisters... i knew i should have stayed home today and gotten the mail. they did leave me most of the shaving soaps though.

Why am I not surprised.

Yes but the girls did not have to call their aunts! BTW 6 older sisters... 3 of them live within a mile of my house, yes two of them are my nieghbors... as i remind them "you are within rifle range"
My parents used to lived within that circle as well...

I can relate to that. Growing up, most of my family lived in the same small town of about 7000. Two aunts and uncles and my grandfather and great grandmother were all within a mile of our house. Now I live a hundred miles away, my great grandmother and grandfather are gone, along with one of my aunts, but it is largely the same situation still. Everybody stays in that little town for some reason. It was nice having family so close. I remember my great grandmother would come by daily to give us coconut cream pies. It was great.
