OK.ok ok I know I am such a blooming child.
But what a conversation piece, when I am giving someone a tour of my little shaving den.

Fanny Soap has a distinct oriental, delicate, and subtle blend of mimosa, hawthorn, rose, and vanilla. This beautiful fragrance will leave your skin smelling fresh and delightful.

Wonderful citrus all around. Beautiful. After all these years Manuel is still at the top of his game churning out pots of gold from central Barcelona. My favourite small batch soap cooker.

@lu20vt and @Optometrist know the joy! Thanks to Luis for pulling this LE together.

Couldn't agree more, Max. JabonMan were the very first artisan soaps I used and can't believe nearly a decade and a half has passed. And a true gentleman is Manuel.

Got these from an old boy in the village who grows and sells lots of plants. Haven’t grown tomatoes for years but fancied a go.
