Hello guys wanted to share my first order from the old town shaving company. Thanks so much guys for your patience while I fixed the shipping problem!! I can't stress enough how good they were.
I'll let the picture do the talking

Yes I thought so too!! But I think at one point I asked them to put in it in the smallest/compact packing as possible coz I got this forward shipped to Australia!! That was as experience in itself! The old shaving co DO NOT ship international!

Oh is it! So does it make it exotic? Was it a nice cream

Sort of. The "Black Label" line was designed for retail shops, and was available in 4 different scents, being Orange Cedarwood, peppermint Rosemary, Lavender, and Beudelaire. Beaudelaire has since been reformulated to the Glissant base, which I believe all of their current 'White Label' line will be converted to. The Black Lavel line was a special formula designed to lather easily in hard water as well as not hard water. It's a great soap, and am a fan of all 4 of the scents. So in a sense, yes, it's sort of exotic. If you really like it you will have to frequent B/S/T forums you can still find it that way, but most that have it still have it because they like it.
Good luck!

It was the first Artisan soap I'd ever tried and had the most amazing scent I'd ever smelled in a shaving soap. It remains one of my favorites of all my soaps. I will be sad the day I use it up.(10-12-2016, 03:55 PM)greekgod Wrote:(10-12-2016, 12:52 PM)vigilantesd Wrote: That's funny they had a sample of B&M Black Label Peppermint & Rosemary, it's been out of production for about a year now!

What payment method did you choose? Is PayPal alright? I am also not in the CONUS and avoided Old Town shaving because I was under the impression that they can only sell to those in the US. I also have a forwarder located in the CONUS.

+1. They always ship like this as far as I'm aware. I ordered MDC from them maybe a year ago and my glass container was cracked. Didn't really effect anything but still...
I know there are many soap enthusiasts here. However, having tried a large majority of highly end soaps soaps, MDC is the way up on the top of best performers. It lathers so easily and is super full.

I wish he would ship to Canada. I'd love to purchase samples to try out instead of a big jar. I wrote to him once, but he said it's too much of a hassle shipping internationally—tons of paperwork. He carries such a fine selection of products...
