Droyt Shaving Soap - Made in England

[Gairdner]

Anybody tried this?

Made in Lancashire and a glycerin shaving soap which at £2.50 for 125g seems great value if its good stuff.

I also found this link: Straight Razor Place

Be grand to know what folks on here think!

Please someone tell me it it brilliant, it is made in my home town of Chorley! I wonder if there are any local stockists for when I next visit.

 

[Garbe]

At £2.50, you could try it out and let the rest of is know if its any good.

I have emailed them to see if they have a shop or local stockists. Fingers crossed, I would rather avoid the £5.95 postage for a £2.50 soap.

 

[Gairdner]

Ah-ha, £1.50 postage sound better?

[Dr Rick]

[Gairdner]

I got the following response from Droyt today:

Dear David

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to contact us. We don't have any outlets nearby unfortunately, but you are welcome to call in to the factory next time you are passing Chorley. We don't have a shop as such but if you would like to let us know you are coming we can make sure there is a bar reception for you. The shaving soaps are priced at £2.50 each.


Best regards

Also had a reply from them stating they were going to check the forum out after they had thought of an introductory offer for the members here.

 

[Hairykopite]

im interested in this hopefully they let us know

 

[pooley]

Also interested in this locally made soap, an introductory offer would be nice.

I think the main problem is the pricey postage. £2.50 for soap isn't bad

 

[Gairdner]

I'm have emailed the Carbolic Soap Company who keep a good stock of Droyt's bar soaps but not their shaving soap to ask if they would consider stocking it. I've mentioned the forum and included a link to this thread; after all they do stock MWF and at a good price for the refill. Their postage is a little more reasonable than Droyt's.

I'll post here if and when I get a reply.

I'm have emailed the Carbolic Soap Company

A little anecdote about that company: Maybe 5-6 years ago, they had the best price by far on the MWF/ceramic bowl combo. Even with shipping to Chicago, i think the total was only $35 or so. That was a great deal, since back then every US vendor was selling em for $50-60.

Ok......that's it.
