Thread: Soap Commander feedback?

Have heard some stuff but not a whole lot on Soap commander. I see it's a vegan soap so no tallow, any feedback on performance, scent recommendations, comparable products?

Wow 5 days posted and not one reply, that's a first. Not good comments, not bad. I guess it's niche and just isn't as used as much.

Wow nothing, huh? I just got a tub of their Vision and will try it out this week and let you know.

Soap Commander is run by a terrific couple and provide outstanding customer service. Darren is retired Navy and runs the technical side, while Carrie is the soap maker. I would probably classify SC soaps as Tier 2, in terms of performance. They are easy to lather, with a variety of nice scents, and most soaps are a generous 6 oz. for a very reasonable price. They also offer balms and bath soaps in the same scent. Although I don't feel that their soaps match the performance of MdC, LpL, XPEC, Klar Seifen, and a few others, they are very nice soaps and are definitely with a try.

I love Darren and Carrie's soap. Great scents, can handle a lot of water without breaking, and has good post shave feel. I think it is a top soap in it's price range. The big six ounce tubs last for what seems lime forever.

I'm a fan of Soap Commander. First, one of the owners is a Veteran and I like to support Veterans. Next their soap is great.

My belief is that the quality difference between top of the line soaps, such as Klar, XPEC, Castle Forbes and quality artisan's such as Soap Commander has greatly decreased. The artisan's have really improved their soap quality.

Soap Commander also has multiple products with the same scent for those that like that.

I have their Endurance Soap, which is their version of Old Spice. I shaved with it recently and had great results.

Below average performance for me.

I am thinking of making an order and researched the product on line to find nothing but glowing reviews until I searched here at SRP and found this thread with some less than positive remarks. Can you guys explain what you mean by second tier or below average please? Is it not a dense lather? Hard to make the lather? Not slick enough? Post shave is dry? What don’t you like as much about this soap? I will hold off on the purchase for now.

Gentlemen,

I have not used these soaps and have no opinion on their quality. The one thing I have noticed about them, however, is how cluttered the label is. The tubs have writing all over them. Keep it is neat and uncluttered, is what I say.

Ive used SC quite a bit and find them to be great soaps that offer good slickness with outstanding scent. By no means are they the slickest soaps you will find but in terms of scent and variety of scents, they are tough to beat.
Also, they have outstanding customer service and are run by very good people. Every time I buy from them, they include a hand written note that always is different and always includes some comment thanking me for my patronage (which leads me to believe that its not just printed out by the thousands), not to mention they always include some sample size of aftershave for me to try.
Ive always found their soaps to be pretty hard and very long lasting. I shave every other day and find that I can usually get about 9 months out of their bigger tubs.
As has been said, theyre also veteran-owned, which may or may not matter to you. Its actually kind of a cool story, the owners' daught suffered from eczema, I believe, so they got started simply trying to find a way to make a soap that didnt irritate their skin and it grew into what Soap Commander is today. I personally always thought it was kind of cool that the names of all of their soaps are based upon qualities that make a good officer. Obviously, it doesnt speak for the quality of the soap but its kind of a cool sidenote.
