Mike's natural soaps - Barber Shop?

Anyone tried this, I did a search but didn't see anything so I wonder what the opinion of it is.

/edit - Found a nice long thread about it after a better search. Ignore me!

You won't be dissapointed. I have the Barbershop shave soap and love it. It is my favorite go to soap for the fabulous performance and I love the scent!
 
The "trouble" with Mike's is the tin that it comes in. They are simply too easy to collect and stack in a cabinet or shelf, encouraging you to get them all....UGH!
 
I tried a sample of this and liked it. I like some other scents of his more and bought them. If I didn't have a couple of years worth already in my shave drawer, I would happily add this one too.
 
I LOVE it! It smells so amazing, I just wish I lived in a world that smelled like Barbershop everywhere. JK, but still dude... Get it! You won't be let down.
 
It reminds me of Canoe AS or Clubman AS. Does anyone else agree? I got a stick of it last week along with samples of nearly every other scent he offers. Just a little over $22 shipped for the stick and 9 samples I think. His samples are generous in size for what you pay IMO. I got the stick of Barbershop because I've heard everyone rave about it, but alas, I'm not a big fan. It's not bad, but I would've probably picked at least 5 other scents of his over this one to get in a stick. Performs great.... no worries.... I'll use it up.

I couldn't resist.

I've just ordered tins of Barber Shop, Bay Rum and Coconut.

Damn this place! :001_cool:
 
Its got a great scent, but its a bit strong for my liking. I tend to prefer more natural smells.
Its more of an added fragrance than a result of the ingredients in the soap. It performs great though!
 
Gah.. the wait is killing me. I'm using a terrible Bronner's tube until my soap arrives.


lol... just noticed my title "In M3 Remission"... true as the 335i is very nice but I do sometimes miss that V8 growl...

Anyone know if the fragrance oils he uses are phthalate free? I sent an email but no response yet.

Might take him a while to respone. He is a VERY busy guy. His business in soaps has increased lately and I understand he is working on a Doctorate as well. Eventually I have always gotten a response from him. I would be surprised if his oils have any phthalates, he is very big on using all natural ingredients.

Plus he just rode out Sandy in New York. But I ordered samples last Saturday night and the P.O. tracking says they will be here tomorrow.

Thats why I recommend getting ALL the samples 1st. Barbershop was sickeningly sweet to me. There are a lot of fellas who seem to like that sort of thing.

Sample Sample Sample 1st is my motto.
