So, as the title implies, I'm looking to buy some soaps. I'd like to get second hand soaps, and maybe even creams. I was wondering what you guys thought that I might like.
I ADORE Mama bear's toasted coconut! I've tried Vanilla Cream too, but I always get a thin lather with this batch, so I use it on occasion. I recently purchased Dragon's Blood from her because of all the rage, but honestly it just reminds me of Hottopic and it's just not my scent.
I tried a bay rum sampler from ogallala. I wasn't too fond of any of the samples I got and the Bay rum by itself burned. I still have the samples around somewhere, but I can't remember which is which... so I guess I can't really trade or sell those... I liked some of the smells, it was just too... detergent smelling.
... Oh... And I also had Pirate's Cove Coconut, which is what I learned on so I got some bad lathers, but I know it was my skill. This scent was my absolute favorite...
So as for scents I just like rich deep smells and citrus smells. I was thinking about looking into orange soaps.
The other factors are obvious. The more slick it is the better. The more it moisturizes the better... etc, etc.
Oh and do you guys think that if I posted on the B/S/T if someone would sell me their used soap? Or trade for that dragon's blood. I've only used it twice, and I might give it another go just in case.
Thanks for your input!
Do you think I would like Tabac? AOS, C&E, Speick, Proraso (I really think that I will try their cream.) I was thinking of Colonel Conk, but I only ever see those on Amazon when ordering something. L'Occitane? I'm just wondering, I guess what all these soaps smell like. I see you guys talking about them, but I rarely see someone try to describe how they smell.
Any takers?
