So the Dragonsbeard Aroma short story. I was working on a project along with my good cosmetic chemist friend Joe and a very large ingredient company on what was to be a very high end skin care line owned by 3 partners. They wanted authentic Oud in their line. So they ordered 5 gallons of it along with a liter of Oud Resin. It was shipped to my warehouse for holding as they had not decided on a manufacturing facility to run their products. Shortly after that we didn’t hear from them. So Joe, the representative from the ingredients company and myself tried to reach out to the partners and got no response for weeks. Of course we were all wondering what the heck was going on. On one of my many attempts I ended up getting a hold of one of the 3 partners. He informed me that the project was dead as the partners had a huge battle and we’re not going forward. I asked him where would you like the 2 items I was holding for them shipped to and he said bluntly “ Keep the Fu**ing s**t in those exact words. Of course I was shocked. So when I created the Dragonsbeard Aroma Blend I said to myself since I got this for free I was not going to charge what authentic Cambodian Oud/Agarwood oil would cost. Let’s put it this way imagine what 5 gallons of that would cost especially at todays prices. Look it up if you’d like but you could buy a S Class Mercedes and still have money left over and that’s not including the liter of pure Oud Resin.

So TommyCarioca  that’s why I said I’ll make the Dragonsbeard until I run out of these as no one would want to pay what a jar of Dragonsbeard shave soap would be if I had to buy authentic Oud especially at todays prices. We’d be talking Hundreds per jar. An Id have to pay thousands to buy enough to make even one moderate sized batch of the soap. So it was like wining the lottery or could you say I was blessed.

An that was about as short a story as I could make it! So anyone in the future wants to know please mark this post cause I’m not writing this one again! Lol

Edinburgh has a point Frank. You didn't really win the lottery, or at least you didn't keep it. You shared it with every customer who has and will buy this soap in the future.

Don't dilute your generosity. That's a huge shared savings.

Version1 or Version20, it doesn’t make a difference to me. This is the premier dark, woody & masculine soap with splash combo going in the game today. Yes, I’m biased but, I can give a rats tookis. Scent, performance, post shave, it’s just all there. I can attest to the strength of scent especially with the skin food splash. The juice just gets darker and the scent keeps getting richer and more robust. Three words here; Quality, quality & quality.

I have to admit I never took a whiff of DB.  That will have to change soon!
