Gentlemen

Thanks for all the replies, its very much appreciated and sorry it took me so long to reply as im on a stoneage oilrig at the moment with minimal internet access.

Ive got quite a few good soaps and crems these days, tallow and glycerin, but definitely no clay in any of them.. the fendrihan looks good and a very reasonable price too, will have to order some. Fitjar is expensive even here and theres a stockist in glasgow. keep meaning to take the plunge but always say to myself "can i really justify this?". saying that, do they actually have clay in the shave soap? i checked out the line a few months ago when SAD was in its infancy and while their preshave soap does have clay, im not sure there shave soap does.
