The very marketing ploy that is desired, as with designer clothing, micro-breweries. Of shaving soaps, we like the 'personal investment' that goes into each pot and the variety of scents made possible by small batch soap-making. To me, 'artisan' means 'we are different'. I like different and variety.... that conflagrates 'artisan' with 'quality' ...

Just replace 'ebay.de' with 'ebay.co.uk' in the url and you get the same listing in English:

Whoah! Do you mean there isn't a bloke called Martin de Candre spending 8 hours a day patting soaps into jars?!Which makes perfect sense. But do we not then need to differentiate between your Martin de Candres and your Beiersdorfs? Neither can be defined as 'artisan', using the above definition, and both involve 'industrial' manufacturing processes and divisions of labour. Yet they are fundamentally different businesses with vastly different approaches to soapmaking.
I personally find that 'artisan' vs 'mass produced' is a false dichotomy that conflagrates 'artisan' with 'quality' and, in the process, denigrates perfectly worthy products that don't fit the 'artisan' marque.
Yeah..He Does a Fast Delivery as Well..This Stuff Goes on Like Plastering a Wall..I Kid You Not..Add Water a Bit at a Time for Slickness that You Want..Just ordered 2 pucks from this supplier - very cheap and already been emailed to say they've been dispatched - surprising as the site and the order pages were all in German - a language I have very little experience of - I just clicked the buttons based on guesswork!
Not your responsibility! 'Which way is up?' is enough to get some members going - especially Australians.Apologies, all, if my question drew our some contentious opinions.

Aah!As an Aussie myself...
+ 1..Yeah That..Oh yes there are! What about all this illegal importing of EU non-compliant soaps? And then selling it on to unsuspecting newbies who don't have any idea that their face is about to be melted or eaten off. In spite of so much shared DNA, a soap tested on American faces is not necessarily good for our faces - not without a label to say it is, anyway.
And with VW in mind. can we really trust the labels on shaving soap not made in UK? Truly?
I wish TOBS creams would take out their face eating ingredient - not everyone, but lots, including mine.
