I'm sure if its popular he will sell it full time. I believe the XXX tallow was a one time release initially.
TSE aka The Shaving Evangelist uploaded a review of this soap yesterday on YouYube. He made it sound pretty darn good, especially for the modest price.
IMHO, these guys are paid by the product people...
The guys who make these video reviews I'm sure are not paid by the vendors or manufacturers. Anyone can make a video and review whatever they want.IMHO, these guys are paid by the product people, they are nothing more than infomercials. I beleive emperical experimentation or from the consensus from these boards are more telling than people who have already shaved and now just lathering the soap and pretending they love it.
I'm fairly certain as well that they aren't "paid" for reviews. However I can guarantee that some get their palms greased with free product for review and early acces to releases or products for test. I can think if one in particular, who gets a certain Portuguese brush makers brushes and LE's, like this.
This was a "lol" moment.I can see how that could happen in some cases. I looked over TSE's channel, though, and he reviews a lot of products by a lot of different brands. Unless he is really high profile, and companies are just clamoring to get their products reviewed by him, I can't imagine he has arrangements with all of them. FWIW, I'd never heard of him prior to Musikmann's mention, and his videos have pretty low view counts compared to some other Youtube reviewers.
Besides, if enthusiastic reviews are the criterion for determining if a reviewer is getting his palms greased, then I'm calling out Royalpar right now for having arrangements with SMN, AdP, ABC and Xpec.
I trust the gents in the 3017 thread.
I can't watch shave product reviews, from anyone.Just watched the TSE review and learned absolutely nothing. Also, that poor plisson.
I'll be buying this if Joe makes it in 2016
I never gave TSE a free jar, he bought it like everyone else, nor did I pay him or grease his palms. I prefer honest reviews because it gives me a good idea about how good a product is. Just to set the record straight.
It might but will always be made in small batches.Thanks, Joe.
Since you're here, any chance you might enlighten us as to the odds of SMdF becoming a permanent offering?

You're killing me, stupid sabbatical.I can't watch shave product reviews, from anyone.
As for the soap, I've only it twice but really enjoyed the scent and performance. When I'm done my puck of Haslinger in a week or so, it's looking pretty good that SMdF will be my next soap to 3017.
