First Canadian

I received First Canadian 'Kink' this week, and let me tell ya, this one far exceeded my expectations... credit where it's due.. this blew me away.... it's not a meringue type lather, it will probably seem a little flat to some, but it's thick, glossy, and the performance and slickness are out of this world. Yeah, top tier as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks for the post. Its a tickler to me to use the First Canadian Vetiver that's in the back of the shelf.

Is it the same soap from before the awful rebranding?

new owners, new formulas... and if 'KINK' is anything to go by, the future is looking bright ...

Whats the scent like? My one and only First Canadian soap was a bay rum that didn't smell of anything. It'll take some doing to tempt me back. I get the whole YMMV thing but it smelled like nothing. A person buys bay rum with the reasonable expectation that said product will smell somewhat of bay rum. Anyway, I have lots of soap that both smells as promised and performs very well.

it was very 'earthy' to my nose, but I love those type of scents so that's a bonus..

When did the ownership and formulations change? How might I know if Grand Valley Vetiver is “new” vs “old?”

Old label:


New label:

Has the soap changed or just the label?

I've only tried the soap with the old label and I think it's very good.

Old: Stearic acid, Tallow Adeps Bovis, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil) , Aqua, Potassium Hydroxide, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), lanolin, Perfume, Silk fibres

New: Aqua, Stearic acid, Adeps Bovis (Tallow), Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Butryospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Lanolin, Sodium Lactate, Fragrance, Silk

From what I see, the only differences are the order of the ingredients and the additions of Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil and Sodium Lactate. Oh and the price went from $14 to almost $18.
