Thread: Thoughts Wholly Kaw

I've got four of the WK, two of the premium with Donkey Milk, and two tallow, and while nice, "meh" is what comes to mind.

They are a far cry from Klar, or MdC, or MWF, personally, the scents don't stand out that much, and the performance is OK...these are Tier 2 for me. In comparison to the Oleo, I find the WK lags way behind, and the new PannaCrema Blu/Rossa/Verd soaps are the nicest offering I've tried since the Oleo.

The Olea, love the scents, the performance is good, not stellar, I find the soaps have such a luxurious hydrating factor that I've found they have a bit of a tendency towards more a creamy feel to them. The WK, takes a little to a lot more prep and loading to get right, and as Richard points out, soap is an integral factor, like an aromatherapy type aspect for me I count on as having to be foremost, and the WK scents just don't really do it for me.

The Tobacco is more hot chocolate, and the Oud just doesn't shine out to me.....

Personally, I can count on one hand the number of artisan soaps that make it to Tier 2, and as much as I love the soaps, after what seems several years now of this industry picking up speed, I'm surprised the quality hasn't risen dramatically, that the traditional makers aren't really getting a run for the money, but the tried and true still remain powerhouses for me....if MdC can produce such superb, pinnacle soap, I don't understand why we're not seeing far more high quality offers....just my opinion, whatever floats your boat......
