    Right boys, nice and cheery so there's no panic.

    Group order, anyone?

    Already have a load of it... then realized I prefer Tallow soap and kinda let it sit.

    After her house/shop burned down last year, I'm surprised she was able to last this long. I hope she finds a way to keep making and selling her soaps.

    I've been critical of her soap in the past only to realize recently when going through my stash I was confused and was thinking of Mystic Water soap. Every time I looked at Mamas selection I always decided while the selection of scents is intriguing I didn't want a glycerine soap.

    I tried a few of the range a couple of years back and found it just ok.

    It lathers really easily.. but the lather quality is lacking... scents are great, certainly not lacking.

    Mystic Water isn't great... hard to get a decent lather out it... always ends up watery and bubbly any timed I've tried.

    Personally I just don't think that Glycerine soaps perform as well as Tallow based soaps.

    The lather from glycerin soaps is nothing spectacular but their advantage is the sheer amount of scents they are available in.

    Mama Bear had an enormous amount of scents available at one time. I've not been on her site in a while so don't know if it's still the same.

    It was cushion I found lacking. Stirling or Nanny's should give enough variety of scent with the cushion/slickness.

    You're really a fan of those Stirlings aren't you? Nanny's olive oil are good although I'm still a bigger fan of Mikes. One of the best in my rotation is DR Harris Windsor.

    I actually prefer Nanny's to Stirling, been using Nanny's for years now and they hit the sweet spot for me.
    Stirling soaps are good and I mentioned them in response to the comment on fragrance range.

    I still have a stash of other soap and creams that get rotated which includes Cella, p160, la toja, Nivea, musgo, speick, MWF, etc.
