SRD Soaps

I am a noob, and if this question should be in the noob section then by all means fell free to move it. Thanks, Mods.

I was looking into getting the SRD shaving kit with straight razor. It comes with the SRD 100% essential oils soap of your choice. I was curious to know how many have tried these soaps, what you liked and disliked about them, and what scents if any you liked best?

I do know that one of the proprietors of SRD is also the creator of this board, but I would hope this wouldn't sway any opinions about the soaps since I am sure SRD would greatly appreciate any and all comments regarding their products. I am really just hoping for an honest opinion of their soaps because I am interested in the package deal they have on a shaving kit.

Also, would it be better to get everything separately or start off with the kit? I looked at both and it seems that it would just be cheaper to get the kit.

Thanks in advance.

The kit is less expensive than the sum of its parts, so the kit would be the way to go.

As for the SRD soaps, they are top notch. Great scents, glide, cushion, etc...all things you'd expect from a premium soap.

+1 on the SRD soaps. They're all good from a function standpoint, but my favorites are Lime and Blood Orange.

+1 to the SRD soaps, I have the lime and blood orange and they are both regulars in my rotation. Good smell and fairly easy to lather.

Cool, thanks guys. You help make my decision that much easier.

The kits SRD offers are always good deals. I can't comment on their soap as I don't use soaps.

Wow I also have the Lime & Blood Orange given to me by a friend. and I dig them both. Fresh clean wonderful scents. Top quality soaps
You cant go wrong.

I have the blood orange and Vetiver and live them both, my two favorite scents though are the Vetiver and vanilla bourbon

I was handed my first Blood orange by Lynn at Bob Allman's meet. Wait, take that back! I was handed the vanilla and proceeded to trade it immediately to another fellow for the blood orange. The lime is also great.
Been a fan of it ever since! Long lasting and invigorating scent! Great value as well.

I've only tried the SRD Bulgarian Rose Otto, and it performs up there with the best of'em.

+1 on the kit, great deal. About the soaps, I have only tried sandalwood, it's fair priced, easy to lather, great smell and cushion. Plus all soaps come in a very handy tub.

I keep eyeing the blood orange

Just go for it lol it almost smells like you could take a big bite of it (but I would not recommend doing that)

SRD soaps are my favorite, after Mama Bear. They're clean, pleasant, and a great value.

The quality of SRD soaps are good. Most of the scents are good. I personally don't like the ylang ylang and vetiver scent. My favorites are the opus x, sandalwood, lime, orange and lavender. The only one I haven't tried is the vanilla bourbon, which is suppose to be really good too. Just a heads up the scents don't linger long on the face.

I got the Opus X yesterday for my first shave soap with my wet shave kit from SRD and absolutely love the smell!

I live about 45 minutes from srd might have to take a trip

I just got my sample kit, what great stuff. The lather is wonderful. Started off with patchouli. Unfortunately i have a sinus infection right now so my sense of smell isn't the best, but from what i CAN smell the fragrances are wonderful. Definitely going to get a tub of the stuff, not sure what scent though. One of my favorite soaps now!
