I can ship to my US address then ship to you just at regular postage rate in Canada.

Thank you for the kind offer, but I have much too many soaps as it is.  Big Grin

In the Nordic countries, cardamom is probably most often used in the baking of sweet items (coffeebread, cinnamon rolls), so the scent immediately is a sweet scent to me. Only later have I realized that in much of the world, it’s associated with savory dishes.

Can’t wait to find out what Tabula Rasa’s interpretation is like.

Smallflower has the Steam Punk Aftershave Gel for $28 + free shipping on Amazon, so that plus the Steam Punk Shaving soap for an even $50!  Wink   I have the Stem Punk soap/cream and it smells phenomenal with excellent performance!

So, we can assume that you ordered the Tabula Rasa Cardamom shaving soap, Matthew?  Big Grin

I think the only shaving soap or cream that I have with cardamom is Soap Commander Passion(Teakwood and Cardamom.)  It smells wonerful, but I'm not sure how much cardamom I'm smelling vs. the teakwood.

The Tabula Rasa shaving soap has a whipped texture in the tub that seems more like a cream than a soap.  At $13.20 per tub with free shipping CONUS, it seems like a much better deal for 90 grams.  Thanks for the heads up, Matsilainen !

Indeed, I ordered the Cardamom. Smile

I’ve smelled Soap Commander Passion, and I didn’t find the cardamom to be a standout in that scent. Passion has a great scent, but it also is a blend that seems to make it difficult to discern the individual scent components.

Tabula Rasa has been a great soap for me, and a little goes a long way. I think a typical first reaction when picking up a jar would be to think it’s a rip off — the container is so light in weight. But it doesn’t take much of that “mousse” to get a great lather going.

MOUSSE!!! That's it, that's the exact consistency of Tabula Rasa, Matthew Matsilainen !

Now's your chance, Andrew andrewjs18 ! $22 with free shipping on Amazon from Smallflower. I think I paid $28 plus shipping for my tub of Steam Punk a year and a half ago.
