Fitjar Soaps Closing
This is sad. Fitjar is closing its operation. As is said on the website: " the situation is such that the new cosmetics legislation involves comprehensive bureaucratic requirements, so there is no longer an economic basis for continued operation". Thank you European bureaucrats. https://fitjarsoap.no/articles/27/im...o-my-customers. So time to buy up gents, these are good soaps.
Nothing is as it ever was.

Too bad. They certainly weren't undercharging.

This is really a pity as they made some very nice soaps. No, they weren't under charging but the quality was there. I'll make the two I have last.

They produced one of the best aftershave balsams and aftershave cream I have ever tried.
I can't find either of them in their e-shop for the last years.

I'm sorry to hear about them closing shop.
Jorunn has made some very fine products over the years, and I for one have enjoyed being able to use quality products from my own country.Sailor likes this.Bjoernar

I got a e-mail (from mail list) from Jorunn and it was very sad to know that. I like very much her shaving soaps and aftershaves.

DAM! I didn't know it was closing up shop until I went to their website to get a puck of SlatterRoy
I have Fjellheim and love it - had a sample of the SlatterRoy and thought I'd wait to get it, guess I waited to long!
I did read something about someone else taking over? So maybe we'll see Fitjar products again hopefully of the same quality...CHRIS
