About Using Our Soap as Shampoo and for Shaving

Hi,

I bought a couple bars of your soap at the BBQ Festival in Tryon last weekend and love it!  I can’t believe how well it washes hair.  I’m getting rid of my shampoos & conditioners.

Hello there,

My order arrived today sooner than I anticipated!  Everything looks great.  I already tried the unscented soap and it is very nice.  I like to use handmade soap on both my skin and hair and yours does the job very nicely.  I didn’t need any lotion and my hair feels like silk.  I do use a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse on my hair after washing to remove any trace of soap residue and it helps to eliminate tangles, as my hair is long and thick.  However, since I switched from detergent based shampoo to handmade soap, my hair has never looked better!

Thanks very much and I look forward to trying the rest of your products!

Shaving

... I used your Pure N Simple bar soap for bathing.  It’s better than any other I’ve tried, even better than the $4-a-bar olive-oil soap I’ve used in the past.  After shampooing with your soap, I found that my normally flyaway hair was as manageable as if I’d rinsed it with conditioner (I did discover, though, that it pays to keep the lather out of my eyes).

The real test came when I tried shaving with it.  If a shaving soap doesn’t have plenty of glycerin or other emollient in it, you’ll get scraped raw.  Once again, though, your soap proved as good as any specialized product.  When I use the last of my overpriced Crabtree & Evelyn soap, I’ll make my own by melting your soap with some bay rum.

Thank you for helping me simplify my life.  You can expect another order from me soon.  I also intend to tell my friends and family about your product.  It’s too good to keep secret.

Sincerely,

A—— W——

Purchased some of your soap when we lived in Atlanta.  I use it w/my shaving brush.

I’ve bought shaving brush soap from Sydney, AU to Boston and your soap works better than all the “BEST” fancy soap I’ve ever tried Yours Is The Best!!
