Oh, and GBeard is into either time travel or channeling.

Time travel...and I take my recent post in SOTD to see what I carry
Artisan versus the mass made. quite the lovely and lively topic. on American shave forums, saying the wrong thing can lead you to insomnia at night from fear of being woken up at 2 am by a guy called "mikey the blade" dragging a shavette loaded with Chinese razor blades across your throat...
its true it is really true.Simply.............wow.
I found the shipping charges from Russia and China are much cheaper than America,andy boy,
if you live in America, you have access to some great soaps. mass made and artisan. Plus you don't have the exorbinant shipping charges to get wickhams.
the 14 dollar shipping is the main issue I have with ordering from English companies.
OSP and P&B Just to name two, I realise this post is a little old and you may have tried these by now but if you have not I think you should.I think this is a really good point...while I am still to be convinced through personal experience that artisan soaps deliver a level of quality shave that justifies the extra cost, I recognise that artisan soap makers don't have the same profit margins that the mass producers can work to. So, despite my views about cost/quality, I'll always be willing to pay (occasionally) for some artisan soaps to support their production and, as Sylviansghost says: give us a bit more choice.
Who knows, one day I might find an absolute pearl of a soap that justifies the extra cost.
If anyone can recommend something that they think might meet the bill?
P&B have become fast favourites for me and have several pots - Denali is perhaps my favourite of ALL soaps/creams/croaps. Not tried any OSP yet, but no doubt I will!OSP and P&B Just to name two, I realise this post is a little old and you may have tried these by now but if you have not I think you should.
