Thread: Mama Bear's Soaps

So I am a poor grad student, and when I joined, Tony (Richardhead) went above and beyond the call of duty and sent me a complete kit for free when I asked to buy a razor that hadn't sold on the 'Bay. This kit included a container of Ylang Ylang.

it was my first soap, and I loved it. I have since learned (by trying some other soaps) just how easy Mama Bear's soaps lather. They are just very forgiving when it comes to amount/type of water.

I scraped together some extra cash given to me as a gift and I ordered some new soaps. I ordered Green Irish Tweed, Aged Spice, Beau Brummel, Sandalwood Vanilla, and Sapmoss. I ordered on Sunday, and immediately realized I had used an old shipping address on paypal. I e-mailed Sue, and a few hours later got a reply that she would happily change the address. Ordering Sunday evening the soap was in my mailbox on Wednesday afternoon! I had ordered small sample packs from a few other places and these soaps were in my hand a full day before any of the other orders even left the stores!

I opened up the box, and to my surprise there was a package of Mandarin Ice soap and a sample Mandarin Ice aftershave. I don't dare to even call the soap a "sample" as it was at least 3/4 of the way full! I was bowled over! I have many months of enjoyable shaving ahead of me. Of course I had to open everything up for a smell, and it all smelled wonderful. Aged Spice is a wonderful, actually cleaner smelling, version of Old Spice. Sandalwood Vanilla is absolutely heavenly. Green Irish Tweed is right up my alley scent-wise. After smelling Mandarin Ice, I will certainly be trying the other citrus ice products! Beau and Sapmoss have a much more concentrated scent, but smell wonderful, and I think they will be just perfect as a longer lasting shave scent.

I had to try the Aged Spice first (the wife loves Old Spice), and it lathered and felt just as wonderful as the Ylang Ylang that I started out with. I want to shave twice a day just to get to try them all sooner!

Just a little hint, I find that Mama Bear's soaps with just a tiny spot of Speick make a wonderful and flawless super lather!

Thanks Sue for incredibly fast, friendly service, for going above and beyond with a great extra gift, and most of all for making such wonderful soaps!

If you havn't yet, take the plunge and buy a few containers of Mama Bear's product!
