I'm glad you are enjoying the soap, thank your for your business!

I enjoyed mine too. You're really onto something here, I can't wait to try the other base as well! Smile

I just tried a sample of the new vegan soap base, and I’m very impressed. The consistency is soft and tacky, and the resulting lather is dense and slick. It takes on water very well. I’m surprised to say this, but I think it’s an improvement. I’ve only used it once, so these are just my initial impressions.

I’m not sure what the scent was. I’m not sure if it was the Creed Millesime Imperial inspired one. I’ve never smelled that before, but this had a bit of a camphorous quality that I didn’t see in the Creed scent notes. Either way, it is an excellent scent at a good scent strength.

I sent you a PM Smile The Creed samples will be out after a launch of the new vegan and tallow+duck formulas. I made the scent for the sample you got as a trial. I'm working on a scent built around Tea Tree oil that's not medicinal.

Are we still looking at 2-4 weeks for the tallow based version? Version pleased with the 4 soaps that I have now and looking forward to tallow which is my preferred shave soap base.

Unfortunately, I think it'll be 4 weeks from today! The damaged shipment of ingredients took an eternity to get to me, but it's all good now. I don't think you'll be disappointed, tallow fans are going to love this base Smile

My preferred base includes tallow but Mohammad's samples really proves soaps don't necessarily need it. Smile

A couple of other vegan soaps that really shine are Sudsy Soapery & Wickham 1912.

Heard good things about the your soap, finally requested a friend to give me a sample and he is sending over the lime soap which I believe is no longer available on the site. Looking forward to using it and probably ordering some vegan versions of soap in future
