  • Best Soaps for Shaving

    Two weeks ago I highlighted the best soap for your feet, since we will soon be experiencing sandal weather. With sandals also comes shorts and skirts, and tights are stored away for when fall returns. If you are like me you get out of the routine of shaving when your bare legs are no longer exposed, so now that the warm weather is returning it’s time to get back into the routine. So which of our goat milk soaps are best for shaving?

    Castile Goat Milk Soap

    We highlight this soap often, but it is such a great multi-purpose soap that it lends itself to many different needs. This soap features a wonderful lotion-like lather which gives you a perfect surface for shaving, then that moisture stays with you long after you are done! It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

    Cedar Goat Milk Soap

    Our Cedar Goat Milk Soap is made with the same recipe as our Castile, so it too has the perfect lather for shaving. We made it with male shave needs in mind, but it can obviously be used for both men and women. It features the deep woody scent of fresh cut cedar.

  • What’s in Our Soap Dish – January

    Your skin’s needs change throughout the year and it may benefit you to use different soap varieties at different points of the year. We are here as soap makers to give you insight into what WE use each month and why! While we often take what we can get and our soap dish is usually filled with flawed soaps (dented, or underweight) that we can’t sell, if we get a choice the following are the soaps we love to use in January:

    Winter Goat Milk Soap

    I look forward to us having our Winter Goat Milk Soap in stock all year long. In 2014 we sold out in two weeks and I really didn’t have the opportunity to use it very much. In 2015 we made three times more of it than we had the year before. We released it on December 5th and sold more that day than we had in our whole 2014 stock! Now, a week into the new year, we only have a small supply left. This soap has a warm scent (ginger, cinnamon, clove, and dark molasses) and a beautiful (naturally occurring) red color. The ginger essential oil also gives the soap a slight warming effect during use!

    If you are interested in adding our Winter Goat Milk Soap to your January soap dish, you should order it soon! We are very close to selling out and won’t have it back in stock until the first week in December 2016.

    Castile Goat Milk Soap

    Our Castile Goat Milk Soap serves different uses at different times of year. Castile serves as an excellent shave soap, which is less of a concern this time of year, however the Castile also has a very moisturizing lather. During the Winter, when our wood stove (or in most of our reader’s cases, central heat) is running full blast, our skin dries out. We use our Castile soap to keep our skin soft and hydrated during the dry Winter months.
