That's a fun album. Been a while since I listened to it. I used their "Fall of the House of Usher" track to underscore a reading of the same story once. Very effective. I've always seen that story as a musical.

But we digress ...

I have a couple of serious questions for the men on this list. I am trying to work up blends of essential oils to create 100% natural soaps. Some of you prefer these to the fragrance oils and I am trying to accomodate those of you.

I have a lot of different EO;s on hand. Some can be blended together for moods (aromatherapy) and some for scents or the fragrance of the soap. All essential oils also have theraputic benefits of some sort also. So there are many directions that I can head with this. Do any of you preferences that would like to share with me so that I can work towards more of what you would want as opposed to what I would like... Men are just so different than women... ya know?? lol

Seriously, any advice is welcome!

Nigerian Green Musk is my scent. If you made a soap or especially a cream with that scent I would definitely have to try it. I wouldn't be surprised if it became a favorite. I had a friend who would make sure he hit the essential oils shop in Toronto for a few ounces of it whenever he was in from Korea.

Will any of this aromatherapy help us to quit buying razors....

After careful research into this subject I can only wonder. There are many ways of battling addictions which may be caused by nutritional deficiencies. Highly recommened are fresh veggies, addicts often lack the B vitamins that are essential for calming the nerves combating stress and ehlping to contorl criavings. Vits C and E are also suggested for reducing the side effects during withdrawal... However many addictions are pathological... and I think straight razors fall into this category. My personally recommended cure is buy lots and lots of shaving soaps.........lol hehehe...

This cure might help my soapmaking addiction.............

Ooooooo it's like my birthday all over again! Are we talking shaving or body wash? My skin often has "issues" with the dryness of conventional soaps which is why I'll focus on creams for shaving. If we're talking body wash, the soap should be fine. Your stuff looks to be pretty mild and I'm too lazy to moisturize my hulking 140 lbs.

BTW, who's the donor that I have to thank? Did they try the green musk and not like it? Or were they getting to many advances and have to stop using it because of a jealous wife? Was it Rich? (He's such macho man )
