Most of you know and love Wooliespinner (Linda) from Ohio. I was introduced to her soaps about 3 or 4 years ago by another Farmgirl member and Linda and I struck up a phone friendship as a result. She was so gracious to talk to me about making soap because I told her that I'd always wanted to learn. Well, Linda, you've definitely created a monster. I have to show you what I've done now...men's shaving soap. And my hubby loves it!! I have done two different fragrances so far: one I call Citrus Breeze (orange, grapefruit, lemon and peppermint essential oils) and the other is like men's Polo Sport. Obsession is next and then Bay Rum. My husband says that it lathers up really nice and I am putting either kaolin or bentonite clays in to make a nice, smooth surface on which to shave. So Linda, thank you soooooo much for your teaching skills and generosity. You've passed your craft on to someone else and even to the next generation, as my daughter has gotten interested too!!

Thanks Marybeth for the compliment. I am so glad you are enjoying being a soaper and a fine one at that.
You have not only learned the craft but have far surpassed what I already do. Love that your making the shaving soap.... how cool is that. You are such a creative person and do wonderful in anything you do. Can't wait to see what you make next. Hugs.

Mary Beth, you are so right about Linda's soaps. I have tried many MANY soaps at craft fairs, and I love hers the best.
Coincidentally, when the bar gets down to the last little bit, we put it in hubby's shaving mug. I gave him a good bristle brush several years ago, and his mug is filled up with bits of Linda's soaps
Yours looks a lot better then the mixture in his though! Those are beautiful!

How can I buy the shaving set with the "polo" scent you mentioned above? I only see the orange on the site, and I don't think my husband would like a fruity scent. I'd love to get him this as a little Christmas gift! Looks amazing!!
Please let me know! Thanks!!!

Oh my GOSH am I excited about this, Mary Beth! I just emailed you! My hubby prefers the shaving mug soap to the canned cream - hands down! I'm interested in purchasing two sets of the "polo" scent, if possible, as soon as possible! I'm not sure I can wait to give them as Christmas gifts, either! LOL! Thank you SO much for offering these wonderful soaps!
<And thank YOU, Linda! Now you've created TWO monsters! LOL!>
Hugs - and cheers to you and your new product line!

Nini and Robbi, the soaps will be ready by Oct. 8th. They have to cure for 3 - 4 weeks before they can be used. I will be putting them up at the website then. We made some that smell like Obsession last night and will be doing Bay Rum tonight. Then, we will be doing a women's shaving soap for legs that will come with a cup and saucer and a package of blueberry-vanilla tea for a relaxing bath/shave/tea. The new men's soaps will come as just the soap or the soap, mug and brush. The citrus blend comes in only the set. Hope that helps!!
