Hello everyone,

Well I have an update for you all in that we're busier than ten men developing a new core soap (more on that in a moment), preparing our next seasonal soap (Star Noir) for its September release, finalising the scent for 'Baskerville' (October) and preparing our range of after shave tonics and solid cologne (tbc & September respectively).

Oh, that and we're also reviewing our jars (we want to use more substantial ones) and the artwork for Citra Royale, Sanskrit and Solaris. The thinking on the latter is that we'll be enhancing them in order to make them as striking as Spitfire and Albion.

So I said Sarah and I were busy, right?  Big Grin

Joining the full time ranks of our core soaps will be a classic bay rum scent that I just had to introduce (date tbc). Being a massive fan of the scent I have a wonderful blend of lime, bay, orange, cinnamon, benzoin and real dark rum. The prototypes are currently labelled as 'Imperial Rum' and it's is a cracker!

Outside of this we busy ourselves doing our best to keep up with direct and stockist orders and we'd both like to extend a MASSIVE thank you to all of our customers, be they direct via our website or through any of our awesome stockists. Thank you to everyone!

It's a wonderful problem to have but we genuinely struggle to keep up with demand. We're reviewing our systems and are working hard to be efficient as possible. What this needs to be considered against however is the running of a busy family household (our girls are both under 6) and my full time job outside of PB. Sarah does some freelance work also and so you might say we are spinning many plates Smile Our aspiration is that, one day, we'll both able to commit entirely on PB and have no extraneous factors that impinge on our time.  

The trials and tribulations of trying to effectively grow your own fledgling company and all..  Smile

So that's about everything for now save to say that we might well welcoming our 10th (and 7th international) stockist, the Greece based 'HairMaker.gr' (Hi Giannis!). We'll keep you posted on this front. In the interim, if you've any questions, suggestions for core range scents or other products you'd like to see introduced please drop either Sarah or myself an email at kerry (or sarah)@phoenixandbeau.uk

With kindest regards,

Kerry.

Hats off to you, Kerry and Sarah! I don’t know how you do it all, but I like what you are planning to complete in the near future! Still have not tried Phoenix and Beau, but you have so many interesting releases coming up that it’s only a matter of time, now…

Good luck and keep up the good work! The P&B reviews seem to always be very, very positive.

Things are humming in Hitchin! Just a great product. Interested to hear about the new core offering. Looking forward to the new releases.

I've read nothing but great things about P&B soaps. With that I had to try it and ordered a tub of Albion.

I'm on the P&B boat now - along with the Wickham 1912 boat Happy2

I'm deperately trying to reduce the number of soaps and creams in my den, but the number just seems to go one way and one way only: UP UP UP !!!

Just bought all 6 P&B soaps and all 5 Wickham 1912 soaps.

Great quality soaps through and through !

KerryPB , will the solid colognes be available in the core scents or also in the seasonal/LE ones?

Hi 2e20, for now it'll be the core range but, in time we'll also align the seasonals.

Kindest regards,

Kerry.
