    Default U.S. made artisan creams

    There are plenty of U.S. made mom and pop type soaps out there (Mama Bears, Mike's Natural) but can any one tell me some made in the USA creams. What else besides Nancy Boy?
    Thanks.

    Okay, I'll take your word for it. Just ordered a sample pack. Just 1 though as a million might be a little pricey.

    Spencer & Devon. Not sure what you mean by "artisan," but it's made in Texas, and the Sagebrush is good stuff. Have not tried the others.

    Artisan shave soap/cream makers basically make their product by themselves. A small business, if you will.

    +1 for QCS. If you like lime or citrus, their lime will fill your bathroom with a very heavenly key lime fragrance.

    I just got some Queen Charlotte Soap (Vetiver). It has a great lather and a very subtle earthy scent. Reminds me of being in a organic food store in their health and beauty section. What is strange though you do not smell it so much while shaving but in everything afterwards. For example, I have a towel that I wipe my face with and bam the smell was there the day after.

    So I go to Al's, watch the vid, get the sample pack of 8 to make the decision easy. Got the pack today and guess what ? I freaking like em all but one and I may learn to like that one. I haven't shaved with any yet but they look dreamy. Nice folks there and shipped quick.
