Soap lovers: The Gentlemen's Quarter back in business

If you're an artisan shaving soap fan, check out https://www.facebook.com/Soapmistress/?v
The soap mistress (Colleen) makes some of the best smelling (IMO, the best) soaps available. The Gentlemen's Quarter was out of business for about five years while the soap mistress became a nurse, but she's returned on a limited basis for now. Try the Cavendish Black, especially if you like pipe tobacco.

Wow. That's a blast from the past. I remember the Lavender she had was a drier, less sweet lavender that was fantastic (edit: Provence Lavender - it's on the FB page).

She used to make a couple bottled scents (Cavendish Black and Leatherneck IIRC).

If she's back (her old homepage doesn't look like it's ready yet) to her old ways, it's well worth investigating.

Thanks for the tip.

Interesting. Will keep an eye out.

Really thrilled about this.

I recall these as the best smelling soaps indeed.
The Provence lavender was great and the Savon de Campagne one of my all time favourites.

On order:
Cavendish Black, 2015
Gentlemen's Oak & Moss, 2015


I am curious to see if the legend lives on!

Thanks. I'll check them out.
