    Brambleberry Bases

    Hi! While I'm not lucky enough to drive there (I envy you!) I have used only their bases so far from Brambleberry.com . I really don't have anything to compare to but: I never had a problem with fragrance oil forming at the top. I've used their Low sweat, goat's milk, clear, white, shea butter...

    Advice on Honey Soap Base?

    Haven't tried any yet so can't be of much help, but do have a question about adding your own honey. Since it's advisable to add only a tsp or so per 4 ounces, would buying it already made have more honey in it? I notice brambleberrys has honey as the 5th ingredient. It sounds like adding only a...

    Anyone Try M&P Yogurt Soap?

    Thank you for the replies. Glad to know you liked it blondie! It's on my list of things to try also. I wish they had a natural olive oil base, then I would totally be in love with this place lol Not crazy about some of the ingredients in their other bases though.

    How are you saving money by ordering close??

    Hi, I saw a couple posts (forgot which section) that people were saying they were saving money by using places online that were closer to their area. I usually order from BB which is in WA and I'm in Maryland. I was thinking of ordering just a couple FO's from NaturesGarden. I noticed they...

    Fragrance per bar? O.o

    Hi, I've been using pipettes to measure mine. I use about 2.5 - 3.5 ml per 4 ounces of soap depending on the scent. If it's strong (like my lily of the valley) I had to go down to 1.5 ml

He actually has a part time job reviewing/smoking pipe tobacco so hes pretty knowledgeable in certain tobacco scents...
