Thread: Samples from Phrank

I have received some generous samples from Phrank! Cannot wait to try them!



Thanks, Phranks!

You will love the Krokos, top shelf!

Great use for those little containers as well. Often wondered how to store carved up soap to share.
Neat idea!
And those are some lovely selections Tom!

Looks like someone has been doing a lot of fishing using wax worms.

As I sent to Tom via PM, I'm curious around what he thinks of the Osma d'Alum - the French shaving soap infused with alum.

It can be finicky in terms of lathering, has that beautiful French shaving soap smell, light, refreshing, fresh, I've never had a problem with it, not the thickest creamiest, but the way it makes the face tingle, and it really seems to tighten the skin and provide an extra amount of uber closeness.

One of the most unique soaps I've ever used, certainly not to everyone's taste, but in terms of being "out there", this one stands alone IMO.

You have my interest piqued on that one Phrank! Tomorrow's SOTD will be with that and my freshly-honed Electric Cutlery razor.

Those containers are from the Mexican food place down the street. As I always tip the girl a dollar on take-out, she was happy to give me some new ones.

I have been known to wash the salsa out and use them again for lots of things.

Wife gave me an Osma kit two years ago with a block of crystal, a tube of skeptic, and a container of their soap.
Thanks to Phrank's testimonial I dusted it off the other day and maybe it's simply because I am more adept at lather making than two years back but it was a nice lather, and truly, the tingle and tautness is noticeable over regular soaps.
Will look for your review!

New I could count on you Mike...

Osma rules!!!

Ya, I sent Phrank all my left over Tartar sauce containers. Glad he put them to use!

I think I shall review all of them right here on this thread, Mike.
I have a plethora of razors, strops, some brushes, etc, but as to lather, I have about 10 or 12.
While I probably have enough to last me my lifetime, it will be great to see about others which have quite a following.
Should be fun!
