Just a brief update on the soaps I currently have made:
Oatmeal, Milk, & Honey
Lemon Verbena
Ginger Lime
Cucumber Melon
Coconut Lemongrass
White Ginger & Amber
Violet (Will be ready this afternoon/evening)
I will make Coconut Papaya, Beach Breezes, and Sage & Lemongrass this weekend.
Later today I’ll post some more pictures of the fun I have been having with my new loaf mold.
First of all, as far as shipping goes, I will only charge you for shipping what it costs me to actually ship the soap. That comes out to a lot more than you’d think.
I ship all of my soap in one of two ways:
First, if you are only ordering 2 or 3 bars (less than a pound) of soap, I can fit it in the USPS priority mail small box. It costs $5.15 to ship.
If you are ordering 1-5 pounds of soap, or 4-20 standard sized bars, I can fit it in a 6″x6″x6″ box that costs $1.00–$1.15 depending on how much soap you are ordering. This is because if you are ordering a small amount, I have to put more bubble wrap in the package to keep it from flying around.
Shipping for this box increases, obviously, as the weight increases, but it increases at a disproportionately smaller rate than the amount of soap.
So, while I might charge you $8.40 to ship 1 lb of soap, meaning you would pay $18.40 total for just one pound of soap, you would only have to pay $12.07 for 5 lb of soap, pay a total of $52.07, which is only $10.41 per pound.
Obviously it’s cheaper if you live in town and I can simply deliver my soap to you– no shipping charges at all!
but if you live out of town and want to order some soap from me, consider going in with a friend, relative, or neighbor. It will save you a lot of money in shipping costs!
You can now order my soaps from etsy and pay via paypal (which can let you use a credit card, depending on your account)!
Currently the store front allows you to buy 2 bars of soap for $5.00 plus shipping. You can order 4 bars for $10 plus shipping, or you can get 5 bars for $10 directly from me.
Remember, I currently have 20 bars of soap in inventory… let me know if you would like to purchase some!
As of today, I have the following soaps in my inventory:
Sandalwood-Rose (4)
Eucalyptus-Mint (4)
Lavender (11)
Arabian Spice Shaving Soap (1)
Please let me know if I can bring you a bar or two!
Prices are $3 for one bar, and 2 bars for $5.
For $10, you get 5 bars, and for $20 you get 12 bars.
I believe that I have 25 bars of soap available at the moment. I’ll be going out of town on Tuesday, May 22, and won’t be back until May 31, so if you want some soap before I leave, let me know so that I can get it to you!
I have been getting very good reviews so far on my soap. I have heard that the smell is wonderful, and that it lathers and moisturizes very well. My husband (who is admittedly biased) used the shaving soap last night and said that it was easier to lather than the store-bought shaving bar.
I made another small batch of sandalwood-rose last night. I changed the proportion of the fragrances to make the sandalwood smell a bit stronger.
Here’s what I have left:
3 Arabian Spice shaving soap (this soap is also just fine as a regular soap; it has a bit more lather than normal soap to facilitate shaving)
10 Lavender
6 Sandalwood-Rose
6 Eucalyptus-Spearmint
UPDATE: I am sold out of Meyer Lemon and violet. If the fragrances are popular, I might make another batch of each in the future. Comment and let me know!
Last night, I made 13 more bars of lavender, 4 more bars of Eucalyptus-Spearmint, and 4 more bars of Sandalwood-Rose. The current inventory of available bars is:
2 Meyer Lemon
1 Violet
3 Arabian Spice shaving soap (this soap is also just fine as a regular soap; it has a bit more lather than normal soap to facilitate shaving)
11 Lavender
5 Sandalwood-Rose
6 Eucalyptus-Spearmint
Total: 25 bars of soap available
Let me know what I can set aside for you!
