Everything that has been posted is true, Darren and Carrie are wonderful people and their Soap Commander soaps and balms are first class. If you have not tried Soap Commander then you are missing out on great products made by great people.

I need to check if this is still the case b/c they sound like wonderful people to deal with and Soap Commander is in the #1 spot in my den! A truly great product.
Send them an email keller. I know they have shipped internationally before. Their site just might not be set up for it but I know they can do it.
Thanks a lot for the tip! Seems obvious but I didn't even think of that and just assumed it was a no-go. If I'm going to be able to get samples in, I might soil myself from the excitement.

Included with the order is a handwritten thank you card signed by Carrie. What a great touch. I don't know Carrie or her husband, and this is my first order, and I'm impressed by that touch of customer care. Also included is a sample moisturizer.
I shaved when I got back from the gym and Bailey is right. This is wonderful soap. Great scent which is strong but not cloying. It's easy to lather. And it provided a dense cushion of slick protection that helped my Feather Artist Club slide across my face, mowing the whiskers without hacking the skin. Great post-face feel too, amplified by a splash of Osage Rub.
I am a huge fan of Soap Commander. I have both the Passion and Courage scents and am looking to get some more. Their after shave balms are also excellent. I wish they would offer the splashes as well.
Well SharpSpine in the end it looks like a no go. I was told that they have never shipped internationally. I guess I'm not part of the wet-shaving elite they make exceptions for
Oh well, I'll be more than happy to dedicate more sampling to B&M

keller, I apologize for misleading you then. I thought that they had done that in the past. However, if they say they haven't then I would take their word over mine. Again, I apologize for giving you bad info.

No trouble at all and no need to apologize! To be completely transparent, I had thought that they had done so in the past as well. I thought I recall seeing a video of someone who was outside the US getting a hand-written note from them but I too am mistaken, it seems. For anyone else reading this, I in no way intended to put SC in a negative light at all and still highly recommend their products.
I should note they are actually working to enable international shipping in the near future. I just hope the costs won't be too prohibitive. I still intend to purchase their products as they are exceptional quality for me but will patiently wait until samples are made available internationally (or through another vendor). I have gotten burned (pun intended) several times in the past by buying full soap tubs only to learn they irritate my skin.
