Howdy again folks!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've taken a hard look at the pricing structure of our products and have decided to lower them.

Shaving soaps with essential oil are now $11.75 each (5.5 oz tub)

Shaving soaps with fragrance oil are now $10.75 each (5.5 oz tub)

Aftershave balms now $11.00 (4 oz)

Aftershave splash now $12.00 (4 oz)

Body soaps now $4.75 (~4.5 oz)

Still preparing to get the new scents going, will update when they are available!

Thanks!

Greetings again DFS friends! I really appreciate all of the support and feedback so far - it's very valuable for me and I look forward to continued interactions.

It's been a busy fall for me on the "real world" front and I haven't been able to dedicate as much time to Viking as I hoped, but in the last few months, I have made up some new bath soaps and dialed in a few new scents for shaving soap that will be forthcoming. I have also done a bit of redesign work to the soap labels (I know, people probably just throw them away, but I like it to look nice) with a nicer quality label and some different font work.

The bath soaps are now available are the new bath soaps, 3 in the vegan format (Såpe, Rense, Rosemary/Mint/Orange) and 1 in the tallow (Lavender/Grapefruit).

I think you'll find our bath soaps a very generous size for the price (which was just lowered, BTW) and chock-full of great skin-loving oils! See the website for a full description of each scent and the ingredients contained therein. My soaps may have a rustic appearance, but rest assured they will treat you well!

Also - RAGNAR (vegan formula, Aventus-type scent) shaving soap is back in stock.

I'll be sure to update the thread when the new scents are available!

As always - thanks for looking!

Update 11/3/16:

Added two new scents to the lineup that I've been looking forward to for a long time.

First, a tallow soap, Valhalla (Drakkar type scent, see website for full details):

Second, a vegan soap, Fjord (Acqua Di Gio type scent, see website for full details):

Also, we have "Tree of Life" back in stock, and more "Old Norse" on the way (there are still a few in stock).

Will be working to get a few balms back in stock and I've had a few questions regarding the splash stock, and frankly, the splash has been somewhat experimental for me, and the future of the splashes is not set in stone at this time, but thanks for the inquiries.

Thanks!

Been working a bit over the Thankgiving holiday to get some things back in stock and with a few new creations.

Fjord (vegan) back in stock - Acqua di Gio inspired scent, Longship (vegan) now in stock - Tom Ford Vetiver inspired scent, Old Norse (Tallow) is stocked back up, and Ironside (Tallow) has been made to back up current stock.

I have been busily working on my aftershave balm - which was a touch thick - to incorporate a few new ingredients (and subtracting a few) - overall, I've simplified the balm and to me, it's exactly now as it should be. Thinner, clean spreading, and quick to absorb into the skin. The same skin beneficial ingredients are still there, but the emulsifier and thickener composition has changed for the better. Not to say anything is wrong with the older formula, this one just fits the bill better IMHO, I hope you will agree. There is still some of the older formula of Old Norse, Citron, and Bay Rum, but as those are sold/phased out, the new formula stock will replace it. The new offerings, Fjord and Valhalla are the new formula as will Ragnar when I make it up in the next few days.

Well, it certainly feels like winter here now with snow on the ground and sub-zero temps!

I feel like a fool for forgetting to do this, but have just added sample containers (new 3" metal tins that allow for easier loading) of Fjord (vegan), Longship (vegan), and Valhalla (tallow) to the website, and they have been available for a while! The Fjord is our 'Acqua di Gio' type scent, the Longship is our T.F. 'Grey Vetiver' type scent, and Valhalla is our 'Drakkar' type scent.

Viking Shaving Soap Samples

Will be getting some balms ready to match those scents (currently Fjord is available) here soon in the new, thinner, more absorbant formula.

Just a quick update: we have entered a period of unprecedented demand for our products and I have started an email sign up on the Web page to get in stock notifications, visit the home page to sign up. Also, we have added the ability to sign up for specific product restock notifications and you now can sign up for an account on the website without purchase. Doing these things will give you the best shot at getting product when the releases happen.

Thanks for everyone's support.

- Andrew

Mentholated shaving soaps are back in stock!

1) Iceland - This is our vegan menthol soap, it is more heavily mentholated than Citron, but not necessarily in the 'extreme' menthol category. Scent profile: fir needle, rosemary, lavenda

2) Citron - Our tallow menthol soap, and now with only essential oils for the scent profile (orange, grapefruit, litsea cubeba).

Also, have our vegan 'Longship' soap back in stock, which has a Tom Ford Grey Vetiver inspired scent.

Thanks!
