  • 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 – February

    It’s time to continue our “What’s in our Soap Dish” series! Read on to find out which of our goat milk soaps are in our soap dish this month!

    Lavender Goat Milk Soap

    This time of year I am finally starting to get into the swing of Winter. A lot of the rush to organize and rebuild our stock after the busy season is starting to ease up and we begin to get into the groove of the Winter routine. I try to make myself take breaks and relax because once the busy season starts relaxation will be a thing of the past. Lavender is a great scent for relaxation and it brings about visions of spring during the blistering days of winter.

    Cedarwood Goat Milk Soap

    This soap scent is very nostalgic for me. Its warm earthy fragrance reminds me of my great grandmother’s old quilt. It’s the perfect soap to invoke those cozy memories when it’s cold and dreary outside.

  • Best Soap for Men

    We continue with our “Best Soap for…” series, this time we are highlighting the best goat milk soaps for Men.

    Many men have no issue picking out soaps for themselves from the varieties that we bring to the markets, but occasionally we will get a gentleman who comes up to our booth and asks “Do you have any man soaps.” While we don’t have any soaps that are specifically made for men we do have scents that are more masculine or at least would be appealing to both males and females.

    Cedarwood Goat Milk Soap

    Our Cedar Goat Milk Soap is the closest thing we have to a “man soap.” When we discovered what an amazing shave bar our Castile Goat Milk Soap was we decided we needed to make a shave soap that was geared more towards men. The Cedar has a woody scent and the same lotion-like lather of the Castile, making it the perfect bar for shaving your face.

    Rosewood Salt Goat Milk Soap

    Our Rosewood Salt soap is one of our top sellers to men… surprisingly. It’s our little pink bar of soap, but men really seem to love it! It too has a woody scent and has the additional benefit of being an exfoliant. Once wet it develops a texture much like a pumice stone. Many of our male customers seem to like the combination of the rough texture and earthy scent.

    Deep Sea Goat Milk Soap

    Deep Sea was created to be a deep cleanser/spa bar. It’s one of my favorite bars of soap! We’ve been told by many male customers that it has a scent that they would consider “manly,” although I choose to think of it as more of a unisex scent. This soap includes eucalyptus, rosemary, and juniper berry essential oils. It also has kelp powder, spirulina, and orange peel powder, giving it’s lather a soft silty feel.

  • Introducing Cedarwood

    As most of you know by now we are introducing a new soap each month in 2014. For March I am so excited to introduce our Cedarwood Goat Milk Soap!!

    Cedarwood Goat Milk Soap from The Freckled Farm Soap CompanyWhile planning the expansion of our soap line I knew I wanted to add some soaps that would appeal more to our male customers. We have many “gender neutral” soaps, but I wanted something that could be considered “manly.” With essential oils the wood scents are about as manly as it gets. This soap has the hardy deep smell of fresh cut cedar… I’m a fan.

    Our cedarwood goat milk soap is made with the essential oil of Virginia Cedarwood (of course). This particular soap uses the castile recipe. In our house the castile is our “all purpose” soap. We use it as shampoo, for shaving, to wash our hands and bodies… everything. We decided to do the cedarwood with this recipe so it can be a nice all purpose bar for men.

    While we made this soap to give our male customers more options it’s still a great bar for everyone. The cedarwood essential oil is said to have many benefits, including acting as an antiseptic, anti-flamatory, antispasmodic, astringent, insecticide, fungicide, and the list goes on.
