Here's an update. Some good news, some bad news. We're undergoing a packaging change with Kentucky Rain and it's going to be a bit longer. The good news, we've created some samples of soap and aftershave. They are $4 plus shipping. If you order $15 or more from our website, your shipping is FREE! These are ready to go NOW! Hopefully, they will help those of you Jonesing for Kentucky Rain.
Below is a scent description and a link for you:
It's springtime in Kentucky, the morning rain has passed. The aroma of roses comes to your nose. Present but not overly feminine. You get a whiff of the horse's saddle leather just as horse, jockey, and trainer pass by. Next up, Kentucky Bourbon steps up in it's role of boozy sweetness as it harmonizes with the sweet woods and note of citrus in your Old Fashioned cocktail. You sip your drink, smile, catch a wisp of vanilla, and know it'll be a great evening of enjoying the whole symphony of the scent we call Kentucky Rain.

As dominicr put it, I was one that was Jonesing for a chance to try this new offering. When a packaging change cause a delay in release he kindly made a Sample Set available for those that wanted it. YES please !! Big Grin It arrived last night and was on deck for today. At first sniff off the humungous sample jar it was light and so I took a spritz of the aftershave and got a nice scent that was to my nose heavy on the vanilla that is used a good bit in a lot of his scents. On lathering the soap though I got a nice balance scent that I enjoyed as the scents all mingled together and look forward to getting a full tub. It had the typical quality lather all have come to expect from this soapmaker. The scent as described on the website is:

I get a nice blend of all that's described with the Rose being very subtle.......Just the way I like it. I'm not saying rose fans won't pic it up more but if you're like me and not a huge fan of rose, don't skip this one as it will be appreciated without overpowering the other notes which were more to my liking when reading the description. Nice job Dom and I will be getting the tub when released for sure. Have a great day everyone !

We really debated that. However, we wanted to come up with a way to provide a luxury product at a great per ounce price. If you add the shipping cost of a couple of our competitors to the price of their jar, our price is better. Also, those of you familiar with our soap know it is on the harder side and will last a LONG time. Think MdC. Wink

I don't think you could pack any more soap in this jar and get the lid closed on it. Thanks Dominic !

I don't know how many of these have sold and gone out the door but it should be a boatload. Extremely nice blend of the 3 scent notes stated (Rose,Bourbon and Leather) It's not heavy on the rose but just enough to be there for me. Well crafted blend of these dominicr ! 2 passes on the face and 3 on the neck has me there with this aggressive razor even with the standard head. You can turn a tractor trailer around in the blade gap and it has blade feel for sure. Still a smooth shaver when technique is on and you are wide eyed andpaying attention. Up to 1 degree at the moment and heading to the double digits of 19 today, YAY !! Have a great day Everyone !!
