Thanks, Frank.
The Dragonsbeard soap is fantastic.

UPDATE: 

Made Lost Souls today and I think the Aroma Blend came out better than the original batch. I say this cause I have an unused jar of the original as I kept it as a reference and I really liked it but this one it more inline with what I had in mind. Like the new label which to me represents the inspiration behind the name and the aroma so does this batch of soap and the Aroma Blend. One little thing I used this time that made a difference is instead of regular Pine I used Scotch Pine which smells a lot better to my nose. There’s other changes as well like different percentages of previous aromatic ingredients I used in the first batch. Bottom line anyone that has or had Lost Souls I’m sure will notice the tweets I made and the increase in scent strength. 

I’m really happy with this Aroma Blend and the new labels. 


Just waiting on the labels to get here and get some off to my vendors. So it won’t be long. 

Any news on the bar soaps, whipped beef tallow skin cream and hair oil?  

Great photo AlphaFrank75 and I have to ask you what is that background you use?

That’s really cool.

It's a box that my SO gave me and we use it as sort of a time capsule.  We put all of our birthday/holiday cards, dated, in there and one day in the future we'll go though them again.

That’s very cool. Your SOTD photos always look great.

My son gave me an old wooden barbers display that needs some TLC that would be a good background for a SOTD. I need to find someone who is skilled in woodworking as I’m not and wouldn’t want to mess it up.

Any news on the bar soaps, whipped beef tallow skin cream and hair oil?  

Thanks for the question. I have not moved forward on the Bar soap thing yet as I have to get other projects moved along before that one but it’s definitely in my plans to bring back bar soaps.

As far as the whipped beef tallow, the hair oil and a I’ve got a couple of other non shave soap products all in motion as I write this. Hair oil will be first up and I’m hoping before the end of the month.
