Just tried Tiki Bar-Set Sail

I got my first jar of Tiki Bar Shave Soap yesterday. It is the Set Sail scent. I used it today face lathering with my Whipped Dog Synthetic knot. It loaded quickly, easily producing a great thick, cushioning lather. The scent is spectacular. It is a combination of lavender, mint, rosemary, and cedarwood. I will have to leave it others to compare it with MdC, but this is an excellent soap….even in my HARD water.

Amanda, the owner, has a PHD in Chemistry. She has tried to reverse engineer MdC with her ingredients.

Amanda also included a puck of a new scent: Cucumber & Mint.

Thanks and congrats!! Patience does pay off!!

Love hearing about this soap, it's on my short list for next year. I'm hearing nothing but good things about it. I checked out her site but see nothing describing the scents.

The Set Sail has Lavender, Mint, Rosemary, and Cedarwood.

This is about it:

Scents are available in the following options:

Set Sail: transports you to a far away land where fields of herbs bloom. A simpler time, where you can relax and unwind.
The Captain: Knows what he wants. Bold, distinctive, unforgettable. A blend of pipe smoke, cherries, ozone, and molten lava.
Surfs Up: Clean and refreshing, with notes of ocean air and greenery.
Land Locked: An earthy, bright blend of fruits and herbs including black pepper, patchouli, and orange.
Salty Air: A blend of sea water and ocean mist with kelp undertones.
Spice Islands: Spicy mango, cilantro, and black pepper.

I used it for the third time today, this time with my WD 22mmx48mm Silvertip. 7-10 seconds to load and off to the races (I do leave some hot water on the soap while I shower).

Your posts on soaps are doing nothing to cure my soap addiction. Thank you for posting them it gives me a good idea of what to try next.

I've checked their website and shipping to Europe is only $5! Now I'll have a hard time coming up with reasons not to buy it.

Amanda has come a long way...........

I used the Tiki Bar Fougere tallow today for the first time. I put a layer of warm water on the soap while I showered as usual. After loading my brush for 20 seconds, I had enough thick, slick, cushioning later for a 3+ pass shave. Doc Amanda does an excellent job on these soaps.

Ingredients: grass fed beef tallow, stearic acid, coconut oil, castor oil, kokum butter, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, vegetable glycerin, fragrance, lanolin alcohol.

2nd shave with the tallow Tiki Fougere. I used a different brush today and still had enough excellent lather after loading for 20 seconds for a 3+ pass shave. I don’t think the Tiki Fougere scent is my favorite, not bad, just not falling love with it. Overall, I had another good shave.

FYI-I did have a “rainbow” of colors on my sink after shaving. The bottom label bled and started to disintegrate. I removed it. Problem solved.

Rats! It seems that everything is out of stock! :cry:

Always willing to enable........

I got mine from Maggard's. They received their order from Amanda, tallow only.

Today was my first shave using the vegan Tiki Bar “The Captain”. The scent is described as “a blend of pipe smoke, cherries, ozone, and molten lava.” I really like this scent. You pick up the pipe smoke. It is more like “your grandfather’s den” than a heavy smoke scent. After loading my brush for 20 seconds, I got more than enough excellent thick, slick, and very cushioning lather.

Ingredients: Saponified stearic acid, saponified coconut oil, vegetable glycerin, fragrance.
