Rosemary Nettle Shampoo Bar, with Basil and Green Clay
Beer Honey Shampoo Bar
Carrot and Coconut Milk Shampoo BarA few months ago, when several of these soapers with blogs that I follow began posting about their Shampoo Bar experiments, I got an idea....
A SHAMPOO BAR EXCHANGE!!!! This way, I would get to try out some different shampoo bars, get feedback on my shampoo bars and do a soap experimental exchange/ challenge which I have been dying to do since I began soaping.
So I contacted:
Tierra Verde Handmade Soaps http://tierraverdesoaps.blogspot.com/
Great Cakes Soapworks http://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blog/
The Soap Sister http://thesoapsister.blogspot.com/
and invited them to participate. They all agreed! It took a couple of months to get things ready for shipping and recently we all shipped off our shampoo bars!
We are now going to be using one soapers bar at the same time and blogging about them...
Can't wait!!
Please forgive the repeat photos. The photos in the blog are the shampoo bars I sent, and I don't have new photos as I don't have my camera back yet!!
Leg update: I am walking better and better and enjoying physio-therapy! Leg, foot and ankle still get pretty swollen, so I put the leg up for rest sometimes as well....
Happy Soaping and Shampooing to everyone!

Definitely looking forward to receiving your bars, Jen! They look fabulous!!
Oh I love shampoo bars......haven't used bottled shampoo for about 8 months now.
I've just cut a batch of avocado and honey 'poo bars, they have the look and scent of homemade lemon curd.
I look forward to reading how you get on with each others bars :-)
Great idea! Mine should be just about ready to try.
Glad you´re on the mend.
I cannot wait to read all about your exchange. Great idea! Happy to hear the leg is feeling better, Jenn.
Hi Jen
I cant wait to hear about this exchange. I so want to make a really good shampoo bar, I keep being asked 'do you do solid shampoo' and resisting saying "well all my soaps are OK to use on your hair" until I am sure they are. Are you up for another in your test? I have one that I think would be really good. Keep up the fab workXX
Yahoo ! Me too ! Just made my first soap bar following a recipe from Cocobong but tweeking it a bit of course. Poured into PVC pipe for round bars that I cut in half for better hold. They cure as I write. Cannot wait to hear all the reviews about all the soaps. I hope some will share actual recipes.
Ooooh, what a fun idea! I can't wait to hear all of your thoughts on each other's shampoo bars.
PS. Glad to hear that you're healing and able to walk a bit more!
Hi Jen. I hope your leg gets better and healed soon. It's good to hear it is getting better. =)
I am looking forward to read your shampoo bar report.
