Hi Hooman

Hopefully in about 2 weeks. Thank you for asking.

Just had another incredible shave with Wonderland Tallow soap. Used my Wolfman .61 and an Astra and got a gorgeous BBS shave that was effortless and irritation-free. My face feels great three hours after the shave too, wonderful post-shave properties from this soap. There is no doubt now, this is a solid top 3 soap for me. One of the absolute best I've ever used.

The protection, comfort and post shave feel is truly on another level of it's own.

I have very sensitive skin with dense coarse facial hair, and thus far GD is the one I reach for to help mend previous irritation/bad shave or simply to eliminate the possibility of having one.

I am grateful to Mohammad for making this possible for me!

Mohammad, I’m most curious about your post-shave serums. When will they be available? Did you already sell out your first batch? If so, when might we see a second batch? Given its oil base, can I assume it won’t degrade over time, like many balms? Are you planning to add more scents over time?

Hi CCity I updated the serum pages with "coming soon". They'll be available late next week. I would say they have a shelf life of 12-16 months. Can you please elaborate, what do you mean by balms degrading?

Some balm makers actually warn purchasers to use up the product within x months of opening. As a hoarder, I’m trying to avoid products that don’t have a long shelf life. (In my experience, shaving soaps and alcohol aftershaves last a very long time.). I have a big bottle of Sē’bŭm Gold I like very much, as well as numerous Chatillon Lux salves, which all “seem” like they should last forever. But I don’t yet know much about non-alcohol aftershaves. Thanks for your help, Mohammad.

P.S. Your website says the serums are sold out. Ergo, my confusion.

Ah yes Rancidity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancidification

I chose to make the serum without preservatives. Rancidity happens to all triglycerides, if they don't have preservatives. If a product doesn't list preservatives, then they're there and they're not telling you or they're not there and they are not telling you Smile I'm only referring to things other than high PH products like soap. But soaps can also go rancid if they're superfatted with oils that can go rancid pretty quickly.
