Thread: SRD sandalwood soap

I have tried a few srd soaps but not their sandalwood, all the ones I've tried are fantastic. Queen Charlotte also makes some great stuff.
As soon as the extra money lying around i will get an srd scuttle they are awesome. Oh and algreye good luck with the soap bug, it got me a while ago

Yeah i need to look into getting some new soaps. If been having trouble getting a good foam with my SRD West Indies. Now i know this is most likely due to my inferior skills haha but hey, ill take any excuse to try out some new soaps.

I got a blade from the vintage website and they sent me a small sample of the QCsoap. It is fantastic. Nice lather, excellent aroma. It reminds me a little bit of mild tobacco and leather smell with something else which I can't ID.
Thanks for the good wishes.

Sounds like you don't need an excuse.
I like what Lynn says that this is an art not a science.
We must continue to experiment and try out everything we can get our hands on.

Not trying to hijack, but this video is good for lathering soap. He does it on his face, but you can just as easily take the brush to a mug, scuttle or bowl instead of your face and just add a little water at a time with your fingers and lather it up. YouTube - Building a shaving lather with a brush directly on your face. Also, I don't know if your into creams, but I just tried the new Proraso Red Sandalwood and IMO its really nice. Good thick lather and, to me, the nicest sandalwood aroma I've used. Good luck, and good shaves guys.

Queen Charlotte Soap is great... But if you get it, I would highly recommend getting the sample pack before getting a full tub unless you know exactly what scent you want. I am particularly fond of the Key Lime (The best Lime I have had by far) although I have the Col. Conk Glycering lime, the godrej deluxe lime, and the Crabtree an Evelyn West Indian Lime... I also really like Monaco, Green Irish Tweed, and Mysore Sandalwood.

SRD's Sandalwood is one of the best glycerin based soaps out there. They use high quality EO's in all their soaps. The EO they used in the Rose Otto was outstanding. I hope they get some of that soon. Anyway, Sandalwood....it does have a very Earthy, Warm, Woodsy scent, unlike any other Sandalwood. It's a great soap, I'm sure you'll like it.

Looks like it is back in stock.
