All from one source, with about the best prices I've seen on each.

They've never backordered me, fast shipping, and every order I get a hand-written thank-you note on beautiful card stock, plus a free sample of something nice.

One of the hassles of having odd personal grooming tastes is the number of different places I have to do little mail orders with to keep myself stocked. When it comes to soaps, being able to buy from one place is nice for a change.
At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, John of shavingessentials.net was my inspiration to get into this crazy business. He's a wonderful fella and runs a good business. He gives great customer service and to be honest, I don't expect I'll ever be able to come close to having as good a reputation as the one he has earned.

By all means.... do yourself a favor and shop at shavingessentials.net.
