Thread: mamma bear soaps

my vote for trying the shave soap samples first. I just bought her full size version of the bayrum and absolutely hate the smell. To me it doesnt smell like the bayrum. This is an opinion and we know what they can be worth. Bayrum is my favorite scent shave soap and aftersahve of all time. I have tried several brands all which smelled very close to what I have been acustomed to and like. Plus, I have never smelled a shave soap that I disliked in this way. (purely on smell). It was a hughe suprise and disapointment to encounter something that I cannot absolutely stand. Things I did notice and have to compliment. Easy to get a good lather, decent lubrication and the smell lingers way longer then any shave soap I have ever tried. Two hours plus later I have gotten a whiff of the scent on my face even after pre shave lotion and aftershave. To me this would be an awesome attribute accept for my dislike of the smell. As many scents as offered it would be hard not to find something a person liked.

I'm currently digging on the Lime Ice but the Ages Spice is very nice too. Can't go wrong!

I want to try them all but haven't had the extra $$$ lately in the last three weeks I've had about 8k hit that wasn't planned for

I would love to try the Frankinscence, Myrrh (use an F&M goat milk soap to shower with that's awesome so I bet they'd be great mixed). I'd like to try the dragon's blood, though I'm almost afraid I'd have a reaction to it. I bet the sweetgrass and indian tobacco would smell like being at a powwow. Hey Mama Bear, how about a mixture of sweetgrass, indian tobacco, sage and a touch of cedar???? Talk about powwow memories!!!

I've never heard anything but praises for MB soaps. Then again, bears always do a great job

I'm going to have to get a couple I'm crazy about things looking right and the milled soaps I had to grate don't look as good as the nukeable soaps when put in glass containers. These ought to conceal the others behind em
I'm allergic to almonds though... Should I be worried about cross contamination between soaps?

The only one I've had any problem with is the Beau Brummel, which has a tobacco scent and irritates my face. Another tobacco scent she has, Cherry Pipe Tobacco, does not irritate my face.

My favorite is Awakenings (menthol and peppermint) and others I really like are Bay Rum ("Rhum"), Ye Olde Barbershoppe, and My Sore Sandalwood. They're all good. These soaps are glycerin-based.
