All right folks, this will be the official thread for the soap pass around . Basically how this will work is simple. I will cut off slices, and send them out to folks. You use the soap, and then give a review of it. If it works for you then great, if it doesn't, that's fine also, just let us know. Inwill slice off decent sized sliced so you can have multiple shaves with them. Please reply to this post if you want to participate. For now, I must limit this to US only.

When was available in EU, I had a Balsam Spice. It was a charm!!
Just I don't like the shape of the puck. BTW, using as a stick It works nicely.

Good deal. I will start working on cutting the samples this weekend. Should be ready to send out in a couple of weeks. There will be 2 scent choices. I'll upload a video to the TOST channel in a couple of days.

I don't know this manufacturer, looking forward to read your comments. I do, and I have been using their soaps for many years. Two things for anyone trying these soaps: - They needs lots of water. Much more than any other soap I know. If your first attempts at building lather result in airy suds, add more water. Sounds counterintuitive, but works.
- These soaps provide excellent glide but not the proverbial "meringue like lather". Like Meißner Tremonia soaps, what you are looking for is yoghurt, not meringue.
And that's it, really. Good luck to anyone trying these soaps.

The spiced rum sample I received is still going strong. I plan on using that for this week's shaves. I will start cutting the samples tomorrow or monday, with a goal to get them all done, and packaged asap. Then I will ship it out. I ask that each person just take one sample, there are 2 scents, so decide which one you want, then ship the box to the next person in line. I figure this will help get the samples out faster and make it easier for everyone. I don't want to ship multiple boxes to multiple people, so we will be on the honor system. Thanks to Flintstone for the good idea.
