Very excited with my new shaving bars...
One of my goals for the year was to create 3 great new products. I think this is one of them.
(Bar 1 - With goat
milk, organic extra-virgin olive oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, avocado oil,
coconut oil and fuller’s earth. Scented with essential oils of spearmint,
patchouli, lavender and vetiver…)
Round works for me for a shaving bar as it fits so nicely in a shaving mug...
(Bar 2 - With
organic extra-virgin olive oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, argan oil, coconut
oil, fuller’s earth and silk. Scented with bergamot, cedarwood and frankinsence…)
I like both of the aromas, but I LOVE the Bar 2 aroma.
A question for those of you who either make or use shaving bars:
We always recommend a good, draining soap dish for our soap... so what's up with the shaving bar that sits in a non-drainable mug? Do you recommend that users simply drain after each use? If not, doesn't it get soft and mushy? (This is what I do.... I pour out any suds or liquid after use, so that it stays relatively dry and hard.)
(Bar 2 on left)
Happy Soaping and Happy Shaving!!

Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely, Jen.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. I don't use a mug, just rub the soap on my legs and shave so no help to you...sorry...but still, love those bars!

Jen, I think these look great, expecially with the natural olive shade. Smooth ans simple. The scents sound good too... I think I would like the #2 better, also.

No sabría qué decirte, no utilizo espuma de afeitar... En cualquier caso me gusta la composición de esas pastillas.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
Neat!! They both sound wonderful! I've been wondering what to do with the bottle of vetiver that's been sitting on my shelf for nearly a year now!
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteBoth soaps look wonderful and I like the shape and thickness of the bars.
Michelle
Valeria & Rose, Thank you!!! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteDonna, Thanks! So you don't lather up with the brush? Rubbing on is definitely another option I guess, that way, you can keep the soap on a draining soap dish... xo Jen
Mika, thanks! Interesting, there was no added colour. The natural colours must have come from a combination of oils and the fullers earth! xo Jen
Emma, Thanks for your comment. Interesting how these colours just formed natually without intention! So glad you liked the photos. xo Jen
Julia, Muchas gracias!!! xo Jen
Amy, Thanks for your comment. Vetiver can be a wonderful addition to a blend... rather smoky... and mysterious... but just add a LITTLE. Too much takes over. How big is the bottle. Do you want to sell it to me? xo Jen
Michelle, Thank you! I have always loved a thick bar too. xoxo Jen
These are so beautiful, definitely something to be proud of! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the round shape and your logo looks fantasic on them. I'm another thats had vetiver sitting in my cupboard for years, one smell and I didn't go back, might have to have another try. I rub the soap on a loofah then my legs, then I get to exfoliate at the same time lol
ReplyDeleteAnne-Marie, Thank you so much!!! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteJan, Thanks for your comment. Glad you like them!! xoxo Jen
Jen,
ReplyDeleteyour work is beautiful simply :)
Soaps and Bubbles, thank you for your sweet comment! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteNow you have me completely curious about Fuller's Earth. I've never heard of that one, but want to order it ASAP!
ReplyDeleteSonya, Thanks for commenting! The fuller's earth really works well in Shaving Soaps! Let us know how it goes for you! xo Jen
ReplyDeleteThank you for this valuable information, I hope it is okay that I bookmarked your website for further references.
ReplyDeleteStraight Razor, Thanks for your comment!! Perfectly okay that you bookmarked my blog. I should be posting, at some point, some photos of the shaving dishes that the cermicist is making for me. Your products look AMAZING. I have realized how important a GOOD shaving brush is. I purchased some cheap ones, to resell and they fell apart. So I will be looking for some high quality badger hair brushes. Do you sell wholesale? Are you located in Europe? xo jen
