Ode to Artisans of bygone Days

[SHAVEWIZARD420]

There are MANY great artisans that are sadley no longer in production:

Tim's Soap
Country Club For Men (Yak Outfitters)
Wheat State Soaps
Lebelle Soaps
QCS
SCS
Grandstaff
WSO
Mickey Lee Soapworks
OSP
PPF


The list goes on, some of my all time favorite artisans are no longer in business.

SCS was the best. Sue made the refined scent for Gentlemans best and I remember making a road trip to Connecticut to the store to buy a bunch. Still have a few pucks of that. Also bought a bunch when Ray went out of business and Wendy got it back. I have some of the mochaccino and fairway as well as I am guarding all my SCS closely

Calani!

Saint Charles Shave - Will dearly miss the Fairway scent when I run out.
Honeybee Soaps - Like Mama Bears... only better.
Queen Charlotte Soaps
Jeeves of Hudson Street - Conservatory/Mountain Rain is still one of the best scents ever.


Luckily I have a stockpile of all of the above except for QCS....

Actually, Jeeves of Hudson Street is back in business (under new management). I just received my order of Abyss last week. They just need to update the website (which is back up).

New management? It was a one man operation. Did he sell it?

Yes. The new owner is a really good guy.

Where is the source of this? Just curious. I love the products.

www.jeevesofhudsonstreet.com is up and running and the new owner answers pretty fast. He has always responded to my inquiries within a day.

Weird. That site won't open for me. His old address does, which it wasn't working a couple months ago. I'll have to check it again later from home. Thanks. Do you know where the new owner are? Still in Missouri or someplace else?

OK, that's the one I visited yesterday.

Is it the same soap formula?

 

[PreachTheWord]

Yep! I have Cabal from the original owner and I have my new puck of Abyss and they are the same.

Queen Charlotte Soaps

+1 I liked their shaving "croaps", but what I really miss is their shampoo bars. Still struggling to find a shampoo bar that lives up to the QCS product!
