Which British artisan soap to buy at the moment?

[Ben Hunt]

Have any of you, gentlemen, tried SWEYN FORKBEARD? Made in UK. They look interesting...

I dunno - sounds like one of the Danes who fought against King Ælfred.

May I be nosey and inquire if you ship via boat or air & the reasons why? Just curious about the 'ins & outs' of shipping from the UK to USA.

Well this was by air. Main reason is that it is quick and the price wasn't much more expensive than by sea.

Yeah I kinda thought you might say that, sorry but hey there's always my soap on special offer atm.

Oh, ha ha! Sorry! Had not realised it! I definitely WILL have to try yours!

Totally ignorant here, but it seems he was!

If you like aquatics it's got to be Southsea Spray Juan Manuel. Cool, clean, refreshing and totally made for warmer climes. Hope that the frag hasn't now disappeared into the mists of time and legend.

Well, it looks like he was a bit later than Ælfred, but I was close.

Thanks.

Warmer climes? We have been suffering around 35°C last week here in Madrid... and today scarcely 20°C!

Thanks.
and today scarcely 20°C!

14°C here today. Just about to have a barbecue and the chiminea ready to light later. It's all about what you're used to!

Where I am it was 38°C -39°C that day.

It is expected to launch in the next two weeks. shavedash.com should get samples a little earlier, but I still need to talk to Jim about this.

I happen to be running out of products to review and have been eagerly anticipating the 1912. Talk about timing...

Without being too negative, Fredricssons didn't work well for me.
NSS and P&B are the other UK artisans I've tried, both really good.

Phoenix & Beau hands down the best UK soap at the moment.

YMMV...NSS for me all the way...

 

[Burry]

Happy days - so much top class UK soap to try!

NSS Ice and a Slice is the greatest thing on a hot or muggy day.
However I find that every other time Phoenix and Beau fit the bill so well. Just which scent to go for...
