After my experiences with the Krampert's Bay Rum soap and my enjoyment of their Frostbite aftershave, I was looking forward to trying this soap and I wasn't disappointed! It comes in an 8oz tub packaged in a clean modern way with a thoughtful gap between soap and rim allowing lathering on the puck. And what a lather...one of the things that grabbed me about the Bay Rum soap was the elasticity of the lather. However much water I added, it maintained its integrity and I could produce greatly different consistencies from extreme cushion to super slick, all with great results. The Frostbite lather is similar but seems even richer and creamier to me. And then there's the intense menthol effect - it's cooling and invigorating and it really is a nice experience. But it's menthol with a twist cos there's also quite a hit of frankincense in here which is a real game changer. Frankincense is magical stuff which has a lot of associations for me, and within two hours of receiving this soap my daughter rang me up and told me that she had just been given some frankincense at university - go figure! And when my son started using the Frostbite aftershave he promptly got a new girlfriend, so let's see what happens with the soap Anyway, the addition of the frankincense to the menthol is a masterstroke - it smells great, feels amazing in use and my skin afterwards is revitalised and conditioned. This Frostbite soap is highly recommended magic in a tub!

Thanks Gents!
I'm working on making things far more affordable, and far easier to obtain, for you gents across the pond. I can't write more at this time just in case it doesn't happen. I've already probably written too much.
When and if it happens I will definitely let you know.

Good stuff! There's been quite a bit flowing around wet shaving forums around the EU requirements for soaps and how costly the accreditation often is ... whether it falls to the soap maker or to the importer to gain the right papers ... all manner ... and a LOT of arguing.
Best wishes for your venture and for what you're trying to achieve now.
