What's new

Is Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements a reliable dealer?

I’m excited to try MSC against Stirling!
I see that MSC has a new soap base available. I have no experience with it. I love the frosted spearmint on hot summer days. It's a heavy menthol---not as heavy as Stirling but close. The Apricot Pie followed by Clubman Bay Rum splash is one of my favorite combinations for cold weather. MSC also produces 6 oz tubs compared to Stirling's 5.8 oz.

Update: sadly the Atomic Age Bay Rum did not make the line up.

From performance to scent, I wasn’t a fan.

Additionally the aftershave didn’t make the line up either.

The owner of PAA is too ‘unknown’ for me and it effected the whole product.



I took Borwish’s advice and checked out some other artisans she mentioned! Thanks Borwish! I’m excited to try MSC against Stirling!
Yaqi soaps are made by MSC. It's a good way to try out different scents.

Never knew Yaqi even made soaps.
By your own admission, they don't make soaps. It appears they resell them.

As for the old thread bump questions, NO they are not a reliable dealer.

Even their website bothers me. I do my best to not click on anything that links to them, but sometimes look if it's a forum question.

Are there Yaqi branded soaps, or they are just selling other branded soaps?

I've always had good experiences with PAA. I buy from them often. If I order on a Monday, I usually have the item(s) by Friday.

I was around for the PP/HTGAM/PAA ingredient fiasco, interviewing himself, misrepresenting Military service events, so he will never be a reliable vendor in my eyes or one I recommend.

Plus, I find most "artisan" soaps to be inferior products to others.

I can forgive but I won't forget.
