Celestino has inspired me to soon purchase 16 x Mystic Water - YES! Celestino told me that the minimum I could buy would be 16 MW soaps, or I would burn in hell

Now Nathan is inspiring me and forcing me to buy some Mike's Natural.
I normally buy my soaps in bulk. How many scents does he make ?
I'm thinking perhaps buying 12 or 16 Mikes too.

Hahaha! Michelle certainly makes some amazing scents that's for sure Claus, and her soap is wonderful, I think you'll love it.
I can't remember exactly how many scents Mike has, somewhere in the range of 10-14. I think you'll find the scents straight forward, not really all that complex and pleasant. You'll like the soap but the packaging may be a bit utilitarian for your tastes Claus.

CHSeifert, He's got 14 different soaps, 1 of them being unscented. They're never all in stock at the same time though so I doubt you'll be able to get all of them at once.

Jeff is correct Claus. Unfortunately he does have issues keeping things in stock. My advise is buy what you can and see if you really like it. A few scents I think you'd find interesting are: Vetiver, Hungarian Lavender, and Orange, Cedarwood and Black Pepper. My personal favorite is Barbershop but, as I mentioned before all the scents are pretty straightforward.

Thanks Gents, will see what I can get from him. Does any shop sell Mike's ?
Are the tins comparable to CRSW Select in size and quality ?

I don't know of a retailer.
The tins are about the same size as CRSW but thinner and not as high quality.

You mean there's someone who doesn't like Mike's shaving soaps? Confused

It's great stuff, in my opinion.

He makes the stock on a rotating basis. He is always about two weeks behind. You don't need to buy a tin. The bars are cheaper and the exact same thing. Today, nine scents are out of stock. This is a one person operation and you get what you can when you can. It looks like he doesn't sell  samples anymore.

Read his twitter and you will know when you can preorder. https://mobile.twitter.com/mikesnatsoaps

Mike's makes my favourite Bay Rum, I love his Lemongrass and Eucalyptus and his sops are together with Mystic Water for me the pinnacle of shave soaps.

If you haven't tried his soaps you are missing out big time.
