Thanks @Gargravarr . It is lovely but as the original post said there's a reason why it's called Unobtainium, the oils I used would make the production of it very expensive. Maybe one day I should do an LE as it is very nice to use, always produces a sumptuous lather. I'm hoping to get the web site close to finished over the Christmas break, along with the one million other jobs I have to finish pre major reno we're heading in to. If I achieve that then hopefully I can start moving some soap. I did hear soap is a good anti covid.

Yep, I did read your remarks re the production cost for that soap. Some of us (ie definitely me) are happy to bear that in mind. But don't hurry on my account I'm going to have to take a year off buying any more soaps, since Mrs Gargravarr is complaining about the amount of space I'm taking up in the guest bathroom. And I don't think she's really noticed the contents of my bedside cabinet or the cupboard under the stairs yet...

Feel better shaving with another R94, Mr Sookie Babe, since you couldn’t get your other R94 back from Daddy.
