Sunday started at least two weeks, possibly the whole month of soaps that I have from Artisans' no longer selling shave soaps/creams, soap/creams no longer produced by major brands and rounding it out will be soaps that have not been in my rotation in over a year. Idea came to me while rummaging through boxes in storage looking for photographs of Bahama cruise daughter and I took 10 years ago and came across three NOS Calani shave soaps that I bought back in 2013 just before I moved from St. Louis to Boise. Out of sight, out of mind. Was not disappointed with Calani and I am never disappointed with Prairie Creations DdC. Sad to the shop close years ago due to illness but her DdC base, and Walther' Menthol (Williams Menthol clone) is outstanding.
