Hi, does anybody have any thoughts on this American artisan, and where if possible in the UK to buy?
Noble Otter soaps are very good, not the best of the best but very good, which is high praise coming from me. Laffin! The soap is easy to lather with a great sheen. It’s slick with a decent amount of cushion/protection.
If you do a search, the main (minor) complaint squared at NO is the strength of their scents. Yes some of their scents are on the mild side but I wouldn't let it put you off. My personal favourite is Monarch, think along the lines of a classy cologne. The scents themselves are some of the best out there. It’s difficult for artisans to judge how strong to make their soaps as we all have different preferences.
They do pop up quite frequently on BST so keep an eye out on there. Again don’t let that put you off. We buy so many soaps (the majority) of the time it has nothing to do with performance.
If you're thinking of placing an order with Maggards (highly recommended BTW) I would recommend you try something from Declaration Grooming too. IMHO up there with the best soaps I’ve used to date.
Cheers
Rob
