I have been using SRD Lime. I have a couple other "flavors" but haven't gotten to them yet because I love the Lime. I favor citrus creams and soaps and the SRD lime is extremely good. The scent is very well defined and clean. I think this is because of a very high concentration of essential oils as opposed to artificial fragrances. The stuff lathers great too. I have been alternating between SRD, Castle Forbes and Coates (all limes
) which puts the SRD soap in pretty heady company. Definitely gets two thumbs up from me.
BTW, I have been told that the Blood Orange is fantastic. I may have to try that next.

Thanked: 953hmmmmm, sounds like QED is making those for them
.........any idea who makes the SRD soaps? I assume Lynn and Don aren't in their basement pouring and mixing the ingredients.
I love orange stuff (QED Orange is one of my all time favorites). What's the blood in blood orange represent? sounds appealing.

Hey...what happens in the basement stays in the basement.
I have no idea how the soaps are made, or by who (whom?). I do know that Don has spent a ton of time developing them and making sure that they are made to his spec. And if you know Don you know that he can be pretty fussy about such things.
Blood orange is just another variety of orange with red flesh. I guess the idea of calling it a red orange didn't make much senseLast edited by Bill S; 04-02-2009 at 12:56 AM.

Blood Oranges are one of my favorite fruits , The season is very short ,and they are sometimes
hard to get. But blood oranges are like a orange that has been kissed by a raspberry
the inside color is well........the color of blood . I cant wait to try this soap

I have lime, blood orange, patchouli and ylang-ylang in daily rotation.
I have nothing than positive things to say about these soaps. Great and easy lather, smells good and do the job very well. Better than some more expensive products.
I'm not a big fan of lime scents in generally speaking but I like SRD lime as it doesn't linger at all. Like other scents neither....or maybe stronger one's a little bit like ylang ylang.

Thanked: 10For those that are interested in the blood orange, when you open up the tub it honestly smells as if your holding a fresh cut blood orange. Its really amazing. Plus the lather is great too.

I've used the unscented. You get a huge amount for your money. Lather and lubricating properties are good as well, but not as good as MWF.
I strop my razor with my eyes closed.
