    I've never used a mama bear, but I've heard some good things. How would you compare it to SRD's glycerin soaps?

    Mama Bear carries several soaps with lime: Lime Ice (lime and menthol); Ginger Lime (ginger and lime); Basil Lime; Lime Glycerin (straight lime); at least one more.

    Queen Charlotte Lime is also excellent. There are a couple reviews in the wiki if you're interested.

    Queen Charlotte classifies their product as a cream-soap. It's a little softer than a hard soap, and more dense than a regular cream.

    Anyway...I love it.

    i just make my own shaving soap unscented and add about 2 drops of an essential oil such as lime essential oil and whip it up!! its great because i can use one scent one day and a different one the next. lime essential oil is very very good! the cheapest place for essential oils is iherb.com. very good quality and excellent prices!

    I too hae been on the lookout for a good lime soap to uber with my castle forbes lime and trumpers limes creams. I have read and heard that QED limes soap is excellent , the scent is true lime and the EO is top notch,I will be ordering from them shortly. I also have and used srd soaps and IMO are leaps and bounds better than Mama bears soap but again its just my preference , and I have not tried the "lime" srd version.

    Thanks for the input. Is it the quality of the scent, the lather, or some other feature of the SRD you prefer over mama bears? I have both but have yet to do a side by side comparison as I've mainly used them both in uberlather.

    I have Queen Charlotte Key Lime and its really great, awsome scent and with a peanut size of that soap you have enouygh lather for 3 pass+. But it's a hard cream or soft soap.
