It's been a long time in the works to get what I wanted made up to my standards; far too long in fact. But it's in the final leg.
The soap is made by Seifenglatt with Acadian Spice Bay Rum scent formulated by yours truly.
Some samples have been handed out by the manufacturer (not by myself) for testing and here is one comment, "Just had a wonderful shave with your new soap followed by your aftershave. You should have done this earlier, this is all I'm going to say ". More from the same tester, "...It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, it really is quality and distinctly KFBR! I've tried so many Bay Rum soaps, but this one smells like nothing I have tried.".
At this time I haven't tested the KFBR soap, but some is coming to me in the very near future. I have used Seifenglatt soap in the past and it's good stuff. It would be a conflict of interest for me to review it, so don't look for that by me.
At this time I don't have a price. And I have no idea when it will be on the website, but Steve knows to expect it and he's really good.
Time will be tight, but I hope to have them shipping in time to get them in users hands for Christmas.

Re: Kramperts Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum soap! Finally!
Brian, which vendor is "Steve "? The primary question is will this soap be available at the vendors listed that currently handle your other products?

Re: Kramperts Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum soap! Finally!
Sorry, Steve is my webmaster.
Eventually I hope that all my retailers carry it, but so far I haven't even told them about it. Of course it will also be available through me, and it's something that I can even ship around the world; finally to that also! You have no idea how many inquiries I get from across the pond and all I can do is point them to Italian Barber.

Re: Kramperts Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum soap! Finally!
It could be as early as Saturday on my website, other retailers will follow soon after. I know Italian Barber is in the queue as well as West Coast Shaving as of today.
I've used it and it compares quite favorably to the best the planet has to offer. Yes, I know I'm an interested party, but seriously, it's really good, both the scent and the performance.
I eagerly anticipate getting it "out there" and reading the reviews from folks unconnected to the product.
