I have two other soaps coming. She's going to have some questions when they show up. I keep telling her, "all the straights and soaps.... completely normal. at least that's what the guys on SRP keep telling me."

Any update on the Bathman stuff?

I want to know if anyone has tried Reef Point shave soaps? They're located in Maryland, maybe an hour or so from me...

I've only used the banana twice and the Desperado 3 times. Its a little harder to get a good lather from but its quality soap no doubt. I need to try a different brush the next few times, I've been using my new 30mm 2 band and its turning out to be a lather hog. Out of the three I have, Tiki bar, Catties bubbles and soapy bathmans, I would have to say that Tiki bar is my favorite. It loads easy, slick and leaves a great feeling on my skin afterwards. I'm also in love with the landlocked scent. I think I take the cap off and smell it every night. Lol

Is Land Locked a Bay Rum by chance?

Here you go Reef Point Soaps

Ok, I think I'm done buying soaps. I've been using 2 from Soapy Bathman, 1 from Tiki bar soap, and 1 from Catties Bubbles. The 2 scents from Soapy Bathman I have, Banana and Desperado, I'm not raving over. I don't mind them, but I wouldn't buy them again. The performance of both has been outstanding. I would buy from them again, but different scents. The Tiki bar soap I have, Landlocked, is a winner all around. Performance and scent are both excellent. Cattie's Bubbles, Le Piment De La Vie, Also a winner all around, and i would say the easiest to create lather from. The stuff just explodes!

Today I received 2 more soaps from Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements, formerly known as How to grow a Mustache/Petal pushers. There's some huge controversy about this company, but I wont get into that. They make great soap, and that's all I care about. I really like that it comes in a 5" wide dish making it really easy to load your brush. The 2 scents I got are Dapper Doc's and Cavendish. Dapper Doc's is a lilac and fig scent and Cavendish is a sweet Tobacco. I haven't used either soap yet, but I can tell you that both soaps I can't keep my nose out of. Can't wait to try them and when I do I'll report back and give you my verdict. I should mention that all their soaps you can get in the large 5" petri dish tin, or a smaller 3" tin. Price is very affordable.
