DFS collaboration with Black Mountain Shaving, going live on 11/17/23

Tolje take a look at post #38. Soap was purchased, tried, thoroughly discussed, and positively reviewed. Read together, the October and December posts are very helpful to anyone with sensitive skin. I did not find anything offensive in post #6, just an indication that this may very well be a soap that could work for a long-standing and respected member of the community.

I am aware of the pass-around. However, I have evaluated so many soaps over the years, I can usually look at the scent description and tell whether I will like it or not and whether it will cause problems for my skin. Although some citrus and spice notes can cause sensitivity issues, if a scent is sufficiently complex, I can usually use it without issue. Based on the description of this collaboration, I am pretty sure I will like it. I have so many soaps in my den that I only purchase soaps if they have high quality formulations and high quality scents. This one should check both boxes.

Very seldom that me jumps in here, but now me nerves got a bit....growled.

For sure it is understandeble that you and yer skin mote be reacting to things as citrus, peroxide and cows knows what, but.....BUT....why in the whole world burst out with yer allergies in a thread regarding a new givin'about of a soap that is made to fit the most but perhaps not you?

I just can't understand these kinda "hubba hubba gruff gruff comments made from over yonders and down below the prepared bunker for tomorrows".


IF YOU, now have probs with diff perfume oils, then take that in a thread made for either allergies or perhaps shaving allergies, but to take it here is just to stamp yer own "over  sensitive" foot on what most other probably wont go itchy or numb from. Aight?

Hope you get me and not just see me words as offensive...but please for cows sake...who gives a damn shit about how you and Terre de Hermes citrus reacts together in a thread about a new soap offered?

Or as we say in Sweden - you don't walk out in a swamp barefooted and then whines about that it's cold.

 EDIT! - I just read your comment before and those could easily become as a negative for a product and ONLY based upon your single personal probs with allergies. That was what I reacted to and are damn tired of. As asking a Harley driver about motorcycles...the answer is = wrooooom, wrooooom and a hick-up in the next turnabout

 2'nd EDIT - What i mean is - Test it first and until you shut the .... up about probable problems based on yer own weak skin

This kind of language is not appreciable Tolje. Everyone has the right to share their opinion in a respectful and gentlemanly manner.

I read back, and as said - no offense, BUT I'm just tired of seeing the lesser say the most if you get what I mean. It can TOO EASILY destroy the joy for others if the minority(with problems like allergy or any other) suddenly starts to burst out as if they were the opinion that makes the MAJORITY.

 All I asked for is a lil bit of hold backs in the way of "saying things".....says me who spoke here as if it was a world wide forum and not constipatedly american  (yes, I am an american me too hahaha)


Translated - please keep it shut if the words can't be polished enough to not make harm.


Over and out

Did you even read my post before posting your rant? I did NOT intend my post to be negative, but to suggest that even though my skin is sensitive, I did not think it would be an issue.

Yes, I have sensitive skin and I look carefully at ingredients and scent notes before purchasing any soap/scent. After examining the information available on this soap, I came to the conclusion that even though the scent has some things like lemon that CAN be irritating to my skin, I did not believe that the overall scent would be a problem. Thus, I did not wait to test the pass-around before placing my order as soon as it was released. 

I received the soap quite some time ago and love both the scent and the performance. I do not have any sensitivity issues with it. I posted my review after using the soap. 

So, remove your bare feet from the swamp and quit whining. I have nothing to whine about.

No worries...I understood since long that we shall smear butter on eachothers backs and keep things god worthy here Jags.

 So as you say I will do what I mostly do and return back to my shadows in silence. Thanks for the reminder and have a jolly goodn' in the icky mist.

Tolje, we have very few rules here at DFS:

    No discussion of religion, politics, or weapons.  Period.

    No cursing or vulgar language.  Period.  Replacing one of the letters in a word with a symbol does not count.

    Personal attacks will not be tolerated.  Period.

    Be respectful of all other members at all times.  Period.


Please, no more cursing or vulgar language.  You are certainly allowed to voice your opinion, but do so in a respectful manner.  Thank you.

And where's the guns, religion and politics???

 This is the exact square of auto answers I mean....sigh.

 But as said...no worries..I'm just doing my entry as well as leave now. Someone has to say it for cows sake...otherwhise it's like an echoe in a dead mans chamber

And in the real world I was more than respectfull as I just questioned the WORDS/opinions of someone else on a DISCUSSION forum....right?

 And about vulguar...what??? where did you find that?....cuz we arn't in a sunday class meeting here are we?

 I was very polite and just questioning someones opinion as it was by him said in a language that could kill a market and a producer just for one mans "allergies". 

 Code, codex and understanding for the result is all....no matter words used. Vuluar ....sigh...rrrroight
