This base has no coconut oil in it at all...and olfactory sense is definitely a subjective one as the sample I received had a pronounce scent even tho unscented.

It's hard to fully scrutinise without a scent as you never know quite how it'll turn out, but I'd imagine the scents will be able to stay truer to their nature as the base features very little scent itself. I've found that playing around with DIY shaving soap myself, the stearic acid/coconut oil type combos are very scent-light.
I've found mine doesn't take quite as much water as P&B's tallow formulations, though that's not to say it doesn't take much water full-stop. It does, and that is evident. It has a good post-shave feel, not overly sticky/oily etc. and certainly not too drying.
All up, I'll be interested to know what sort of scents are being brought to the table as that's the only thing which will sway my spending over the tallow-featuring variants.
Good work @phoenixandbeau!
Sorry, I mean to say that these types of soap are scent light, rather than specifically this containing coconut oil. My fault, I didn't word that too well...This base has no coconut oil in it at all...and olfactory sense is definitely a subjective one as the sample I received had a pronounce scent even tho unscented.
Lol I thought wow are there multiple formulas being trailed lol. Can I ask how you're storing your sample?Sorry, I mean to say that these types of soap are scent light, rather than specifically this containing coconut oil. My fault, I didn't word that too well...
I have it pressed into a small plastic lid, so completely exposed to the elements. It's, so far, shown absolutely no degradation and keeps it plenty dry between uses so ticks enough boxes for me. It doesn't make it all that easy to load, but you can't have everything I guess!Lol I thought wow are there multiple formulas being trailed lol. Can I ask how you're storing your sample?

@donnie_arko no firm date yet as we're finalising packaging, final weight and RRP. That said, we're aiming to have the range released late summer / early autumn and certainly before the year is done.
Evening all,
For those who might be interested I'm doing a live shave on our YouTube channel at 7pm today. In it I'll be introducing the vegan soap, talking a little about its properties and then having a shave with it.
Should you wish to pop in and add your comments, that'd be great!
You can find me here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7PQ-zg88TJDNxZrpwngPbg
Very best regards,
Kerry.
