Sample soaps

Post by oldtrout »

One of the great things I learned from people who post here is that some Artisan soap makers offer samples. A few weeks ago I received soap samples for QCS (Queen Charlotte Soap Co.). Today, I grated one of the samples (Basilica) into my soap dish and went to town. The Basillica fragrance is nice, but did not thrill me. However, the QCS lather is excellent. QCS soap is just wonderful! The Basilica sample is going to last me a few days, perhaps a week. I can't wait to try the four other QCS soap samples I received.

Samples are a great way to try out a product without ending up with a quantity of something you're not fond of.

What other companies have samples available?

QEDman will usually include a sample when you place and order with him. I ordered a Rose Otto soap and got a nearly full tub of Rose Geranium a few years ago which was very generous of him!

Thanks guys. I have enough samples now that I won't need to purchase any soap for quite awhile.
