It´s very different from the other soapmakers soaps here, which is good

As it's a softish soap I can't guarantee to get cakes out of a mould so I'm thinking of pouring it into tins to set. The tins would be 200ml aluminium with EPA coating on the inside, nearly 90cm diameter and 3.5cm deep - 100g of soap would leave a space for manouvering the brush when loading with lather.

Well, I can practically guarantee that you WON'T be able to make moulded cakes with said soap. And honestly, the soap will be too soft to use as a 'swirling' soap too. I think the best option is to make sure it can be used as a cream, one way or another (i.e. it should be possible for the end user to scoop an amount required for a single shave from the container and transfer it to a bowl).

I've some here which I've used for swirling; it hasn't had the lid on for a week or so and has dried further and can be lifted out of the container - still not a "hard" soap though .

Ah, but what if the primrose on the logo, was sporting some stubbly whiskers, wearing a trench-coat & fedora, and also striking a match off of one button so it can light a cigar(ette) that's dangling perilously from the primrose's lower lip?
- ... and the primrose is watching a woman's butt, as she walks past him
- ... along a dock with a huge crane
- ... with people in the background fighting and/or mugging/getting mugged
- ... with a fire raging out of the doors & windows of one of the dockside warehouses
- ... where booze is kept prior to shipment
- ... to an army base and/or prison
- ... by steam locomotive
- ... guarded by huge slavering dog-packs
- ... with sawn-off shotguns[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
I think that that primrose would be looking a darned bit more masculine then, eh?!

Thanks - I read the reviews and descriptions on TSR and aimed for something different.

Shucks, we even exchange tips about shaving balms & moisturisers. Pig / C is perhaps the sole exception, which explains why Mrs. PC has been bowled over by what we all recognise as a self descriptive piece of prose by U/Hermit !
JohnnyO. :lol:
