Tallow + Steel

Hi 

Thank you for reply and I'm very happy to promote T&S and I speak to Chris from Karve and Been promoting his Products out of kindness and how much I appreciate his Craftsmanship and Work Chris has done and it's not easy but he makes Phenomenal Razor Made in Canada Alberta. It's great to support little businesses and likewise just like T&S, I have only tried Morning Coffee by Karve and collaboration with T&S and I would be so happy to try Boreal it's been on my list way before my Surgery that I had this past March at Shouldice Hospital, Thornhill, Ontario.

I moved here in Ottawa 1997 from Croatia with Mother and Father and unfortunately my father passed away two years ago and just have my mother to take care of and wife and two kids. I recently moved here in Gatineau just for living wise as it's little accommodating till I figure things out as I'm in a search for a Job Right now with this COVID19 not easy and for rest of Canadians as well..I Actually prefer to live in Alberta way in past but thing came along and all you never know where I can end up and what future can bring.

I'm happy to be here on DFS great community and Folks...

I'll be saving up to order Boreal Soap to try with aftershave I tried this week came to $75 shipped to Gatineau hope will be there till I get it.

Take Care and Stay Safe

Croatia, cool. That is a country that I definitely want to visit someday. I’ve watched some videos on it. Best of luck to you in your job search - I hope we are over this soon, and life can resume as it once was.

Thanks for the support - all the best.

I got my tub of Classic and splash as well today - smells awesome.  Looking forward to using it. 

Good to hear. 1st time buying direct and didn't know there's no tracking for the US so it'll get here when it gets here I guess. Email said normally 2 weeks...

Hi Dave, there is a drop down shipping menu if you’re using PayPal or Apple Pay, which allows you to select “Tracked Packet USA”. It costs a few dollars more but I like being able to track my shaving gear, my shipping to NJ cost $11.16, just as a reference point.

Cheers - thanks for helping him out!

Good to know, thanks

Thanks Dave for your support! We worked hard to get all the orders out as fast as we could so I’m hoping it arrives to you pretty quickly.

I’ll order the Boreal Soap when I see label that’s exactly what I think of scents of forest and the way T&S make their soaps in unique way

Hope I find job soon enough as in Ottawa ohh it’s tough and nothing for me at the moment

Hope things will look out for better for all of us

Best of luck Alan! Thanks for the support.

Sicily Set arrived today. Thanks Ryan

In record time! That’s great. Enjoy.

Thanks again.

One of the finest scents in soap making returns. Woven together beautifully. So good I had to order a backup.

TLDR...

[...snip...] Therefore, it comes down to scent for many of us and that tends to be a crapshoot with today's web based shopping.  It would be great if we could sniff before purchase.  It's too bad it isn't possible to include a scratch & sniff card or the like with all of an artisan's scents so we could make more informed decisions.  A straight rose or grapefruit gives us an idea of what to expect, the intriguing and complex scents coming out now, not so much. 

Awesome to hear - Trial sizes available at MenEssentials.

I like either of those ideas, but MenEssentials appears to be MIA. (also, all of the vendors mentioned earlier in this thread, for several pages)
For instance, I've got a "Sandalwood" soap (not an uncommon scent) in my top 5 favourite soaps and aftershaves list, but I've also bought some allegedly sandalwood-scented soap that I had to give away, because I disliked the scent so much.

A sampler kit of 10 g of each soap or 10 ml of each aftershave would be most useful.

This arrived today -- as did a very nice brush to try them with.  The next few days should be quite enjoyable....
