WOW ! If I can get that, I'll be happy.....

See, That's my point, You "Uber'd it, and it took you five minutes.
I want to see how it stands up on it's own without Ubering....
I have some "Kiss my Face" and Glycerin on the counter for Uber Lather, but a good soap of cream doesn't need it. Mama Bear's, needs no Uber, nor does Mitchell's and Vintage Blades, triple milled....

The samples I got were leatherneck, Cavendish black and the lavender. made uber lather this morning with The Leatherneck soap and cream( no Glycerine) it lathered well but took a good while to build the lather in a DB scuttle , I must have been building for a good 5 minutes. Lather held up well whilst I stropped and lasted well giving a comfortable shave.

Excellent shave and a great scent, thumbs up from me.

Colleen you need to label the samples better though, my two year old took them all out of the plastic bags when they were laying on the kitchen table and it took me a moment or two to work out which was which.

OK, Colleen's CB arrived today complete with the little wooden bowl. The only one available at the time I ordered was the one that's less expensive, but it's fine.
The soap exceeded my expectations. The fragrance is awesome, Lather is great, A big thumbs up. She has another satisfied customer. I actually used it right in the little wooden bowl, worked great.....Rich

oh Cool Rich , very cool Im glad that worked out for you man ! As soon as I get the complete line of shave soap Im going to order some of the body soap.

You'll love her bath soaps too. I use her Oak&Moss bath soap.

FWIW, I too order Bath Soap, but I've been into these Goat's milk soaps from a place up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, called The Soap Shed. Her bath soaps w/Goats milk are awesome, but stay away from the shave soaps.....

Good Morning Gentlemen,

Rich, I couldn't be happier thank you for taking the time to share your results. .........and this conversation really ended up pointing out a weak point in the samples, along with a few messages about how to adjust that problem.
