Group Organised Buy: Jabonman Soaps

Hey fellas see our new banners? A little disappointed to be honest - I'd liked to have earned the title "Group Buy Consigliere"…but hey, this only spurs me on to do better next time.

Is it only RM who has this power?
You're down for the Mike's Natural run aren't you? [emoji6] You need to give it a few months though for our wallets to recover. We will need the Mike's for comparison to Jabonman. [emoji13]
 
BTW: just realised I was working my selection off another site - hence the selection is Spanish :oops:, my two tubs are:
- Wet Earth (Tierra Humeda), and
- Eastern Breeze (Brisa de Oriente)

C'mon fellas, what did you get?

Yep. Picked up the Spanish no probs.

I'm assuming it's a sample per soap but I'm just guessing based on others' experience.

For me:
Brisa de Oriente (Eastern Breeze)
Madreselva (Honeysuckle)

Samples: Mountain/Violetas, Ylang-Ylang

Eh you know, you work hard and the rewards come.

Possibly Drubs does too, but since the role was imported from vBulletin it may have suffered in the conversion. He wouldn't know where to look to do it anyway :cool:

Mate anything extra would be a super bonus, I'd be stoked for even just a single dollop of something to sample that's extra to my list. Be honest I'm just happy for having been introduced to the Jabonman range, the two flavours I've chosen, and buying-in with you fellas too, of course. Gotta say @filobiblic , mate, so far you've done this deed with aplomb!
 
All ordered. Waiting confirmation from Manuel.

Total: 9 soaps

Nonick (3x)
Vetiver- citrus
Brisa de Oriente (Eastern Breeze)
Lima incense - with menthol

Stillshunter (2x)
Tierra Humeda (Wet Earth)
Brisa de Oriente (Eastern Breeze)

Mong (2x)
Tierra Humeda (Wet Earth)
Violetas

Filobiblic (2x)
Brisa de Oriente (Eastern Breeze)
Madreselva (Honeysuckle)

I also requested samples as per your individual requests. But it's up to Manuel's final decision about what he can fit into the parcel.

If it leaves Spain this week, we ought to see these soaps by Christmas. (We'll have enough soap to shave Father Christmas...and his team of elves to boot!)
 
Sensational filobiblic! Top operator! Thanks for all the leg work. The hardest this got for us so far was choosing scents! Here's to it all continuing as smoothly and looking forward to everyone's reviews rolling in! Glad everyone ended up with a bit of a mixture. Eastern breeze better be a winner!
 
Eastern breeze better be a winner!
It got high praise on the Spanish shaving forum and was one of the recommended soaps by a Portuguese chap on Facebook.
I dunno, kind of crazy that we here in Oz can buy soaps from Spain on the other side of the globe...
 
You don't have any soap yet Stillsy.... Counting them proverbial chickens mighty fast!
Second time he's done that in recent days.
Perhaps Capo, you could tap him upon said shoulders ? :)
 
See what happens when you go away?

A group buy comes and goes!

Of course I should have checked all the threads here immediately on my return to Australia - but I didnt :(

Probably saved my wallet from stuff I don't need :)

Well does @filobiblic for organising this!

It's just not too late to get in. Do you want in @Mark1966?
 
You do need this you know. You have Mike's which we need to compare Jabonman against. It's meant to be a fight between the two of them for top spot. They are meant to be that good. [emoji4]
 
NOOOOOOOOOO

OK, PM sent ...
 
Well, well folks. There's been some late drama here on the Spanish soapie!

Late entrant @Mark1966 managed to scrape in (how does he do it?!) by a whisker.

Just as I heard back from Manuel the email was sent. So it's email tennis on the red Spanish dirt... We await the final score, but as it stands the soap and sample requests (plus more!) were accepted. There was also to be a discount of 2 euros per soap. So we wait for the final response from the Spaniard before its game-set and match.

Stay tuned!!!
 
I resisted as long as I could - only saw this last night ...

Resistance is futile.
We are the quick and the unshaven around here. You're either with us, or not.
 
Update Summary:
- Order recieved by Manuel
- 2 extras joined last minute (@borked, @Mark1966)
- 12 soaps ordered in total
- samples of creams requested will be included, as well as aftershave balm samples
- order has been paid for and payment has been recieved
- we are now waiting for the tracking number of the shipment

So we had not one - but TWO - last minute extras join the ranks!
@Mark1966 (2 soaps): Mountain, Ylang Ylang-Patchouli-Orange
@borked (1 soap): Citrus

Balm
I also had @borked ask about aftershave balms and Manuel replied he had some in limited stock. He will include some balm samples in our order (I won't know how many until it arrives). But I also quickly ordered 2 balms (10 euros each) in the scents of Eastern Breeze and Wet Earth (both with strong menthol).

I do apologise that I didn't get a chance to offer anyone to order an aftershave balm. I had already changed the order to include our last minute extras, so I just added the 2 balms.

In order to be transparent, I'm going to keep one (Eastern Breeze) for myself. And I will offer the other (Wet Earth) to @borked since he raised it with me and I wouldn't have asked/ordered if he did not. But if @borked does not want it, then it can go to another person. It is A$15 for the 50ml tub.

Samples
Just to repeat, everyone's requested soap samples WILL be included. In addition, there will be more samples including aftershave balm samples. I will divide the samples out, but there should be at least one per soap.

Cost
Manuel's price calculations
The price of the total package: (13.80 x 12) + 33 (shipping) = 198 euros.
Extra 2 euros / boat = 24 euros.
Final price = 198-24 = 174 = 170 euros

As you can see, he gave us a discount as well as include samples of soaps and aftershaves.

My price calculations
Here is the cost per soap in Aussie dollars.

170 euros = $244 (+ conversion fees) = A$250
$250 /12 soaps = $20.80 per soap

So, here are the prices for...
3 soaps = $62.40 (with Oz postage: $69.60)
2 soaps = $41.60 (with Oz postage: $48.80)
1 soap = $20.80 (with Oz postage: $28)

Postage within Australia will be $7.20 per package.

3 soaps = $62.40 (with Oz postage: $69.60)
@Nonick

2 soaps = $41.60 (with Oz postage: $48.80)
@Mong.
@stillshunter
@Mark1966

1 soap = $20.80 (with Oz postage: $28) +$15 for the balm if you want it
@borked

You can all round up or down - your call.

Send me a PM asking about whether you want postage or not. Once agreed, we can work out payment details.

I'll add the tracking details of the parcel to this post once I receive it.

Edit: Spellink and I always forget the dot after @Mong. 's username!
 
Menthol balms sound interesting. Not tried one of those previously.
I tend to find that balms leave my skin feeling greasy though, so maybe not for me.

Manuel says he is getting great feedback. Including that it absorbs well into the skin and isn't greasy. I'll add the info.
 
Manuel: "I tried to create a product of very high-end, leads rosewater (instead of water), hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, a tad of alcohol, provitamin b5, vitamin e, allantoin, bisabolol, lactic acid, glycerin and some menthol. It absorbs quickly, leaves no fat and very little is sufficient, it is very slippery, immediately calms the skin."
