    Hello all,

    I'm starting a Tallow + Steel group buy for a custom made scent that will be decided upon by the participants. There will be a soap and aftershave and a minimum of 25 participants are needed to move this venture forward.

    The soap will be $35 + depending on the scent.
    The aftershave will be $30 + depending on the scent.

    Shipping in Canada will be $5-10.
    International shipping will be $10-20.

    All figures are in Canadian dollars.

    Once I have gathered enough participants we will move forward with deciding the scent and the design of the tub. This will truly be a limited edition soap that will have a special place in your den. If you haven't tried Tallow + Steel products I can assure you that they are wonderful performers and an all round great soap and aftershave.

    The name of the soap will be "A Soapbowlful Of Secrets".

    The moderator of this fine forum has approved of this thread.

    I hope to hear from many interested members and that we can make this group buy a success.

    Have a great evening,

    Sean

    I'm not a fan of the fourage scent to me it has a note of swamp.

    Once we get the required amount of participants we will democratically decide on a scent from a comprehensive list of essential oils, then send our request to T+S and they will send us a few samples. We will only send in the order once the tester participants are happy.

    $35 Canadian is around $27 right now. It will change by the time this process is finished.

    $35 is a little steep for 4 oz of soap, at least imo. I'll pass on this one.

    Thanks to all for their opinions but I don't find it steep at all for a custom 25 of a kind soap. I love Arko too, but T+S make superior products and for this kind of exclusivity I find it very enticing.

    If one can afford it, then by all means enjoy it. :happy088:
    Fortunately there are soaps out there that perfom very much to my liking and a lot friendlier on my wallet.
    But that's me.

    My posting of this information was mainly to show that the pricing of the T&S isn't truly out of line with some of the more 'premium' soaps out there. For limited edition varieties, I imagine the price point per unit for each of these manufacturers would be higher.
