    Default Mama Bear's

    Just tried one of her soaps for the first time and it is amazing. It lathers like a dream and the smell is just right. Can't wait to buy more. Has anyone tried any of the fruity scents or the Frakinscense? I need some good ones to try.

    I have the Frankincense and the Myrrh and got them just to find out about the scents. I have heard of these since my childhood from the biblical upbringing I had. I was not too impressed but the scents are pleasant. These scents are from the Middle East from berries from a bush of some sort and have been around thousands of years. The people didn't have as many choices back then for scent as we do today. I plan to use mine around Christmas time to get in the mood for the holidays. You can't go wrong with any of Mama Bear's scents. Get them all. One of my favorite's is "Gucci for him". The Sandalwood soaps are nice also.

    I just received a tub of Mama Bear's "Marauders Citrus" 'Dominican Bay & Tangerine' shaving soap and it was really fantastic - it lathered beautifully and smelled great and best of all was really forgiving on my skin. I don't know if all the soaps are so easy, but I feel they must be. Great stuff!

    Have a great morning!

    The Rosemary Mint soap is one of my all time favorites. Great fresh mint smell and a slight minty tingle on the face. A nice fresh natural perky scent.

    Actually, both frankencense and myhrr are resins (i.e. tree sap) and do not come from berries.

    Default Try the samples

    Mama Bear will send small sliver samples of any scent except Neroli for $1 each. She says good for one shave, but I get at least 2 from each. It is a great way to try a few. Go to the bottom of "Sample Store" window.

    The only caution is that you might like them all so much you are no closer to choosing one or two

    I just received my first order from Mama Bear yesterday, which included the Frankincense shave soap and Dragon's Blood cologne. Tried both of those out this morning. Great stuff. Her products are everything they're cracked up to be and the services is great.

    Thanks, Sue.

    Man, I have a dozen of her soaps, and not one that you guys mentioned....I don't even remember seeing any of those. She's either added new stuff, or I'm not in the right place...But, it's all good. I love her soaps, even her bath soaps are great....

    P.S. I just checked her site, and found them. Did you guys see the video on there?
