Maggards told in the newsletter that will stock Siero on 15th November. Let's see. I don't like the price though. In contrary with the Milksteak that starts from 16$, this thing begins with 26$. Damn that's expensive.
Wait, $26 for the unscented one?

No, I don't believe so, but I don't think it will go lower than 20-23. We ll see.

I wouldn't pay 20$ for an unscented soap, ever.

Wholly Kaw must definitely improve slickness if he wants to sell in this price point. If I wanted only a skincare product I would buy from Estee Lauder.

Please separate your reporting of known facts, and state their sources, from your supposition.
We have enough 'fake news' in this world without you adding to it.

Well, it is a supposition, but having checked how Sri acts with his marketing for the last 3 or more years, it is clear that he only made an unscented soap in the Donkey Milk base so far, the Bare Naked.

He didn't bother to make one as well in the Bufala base, simply because he didn't want to sell it in lower prices and thought that he could drive people to buy his recent, more expensive base, even though many of us prefer the unscented version for cost and skin sensitivity reasons. . He only made 4-5 soaps in his current base ALL scented, and that's it. (27$ all of them, without the shipping.)

How low do you think, will be the price of the Siero Unscented having already an experience with the Bare Naked that cost 20$? 20$ again? 19$? I don't expect it. You don't expect it either and you know it. It is just a guess, yes, and really sorry for the "fake news", but we all know how an artisan behaves when it comes to marketing. Again, I apologize for the supposition.

I like the label art of his Fougère Mania soap, but one thing that drives me crazy is that he has written Fougère wrong. It is Fougère and not Fougére. It should be written with what the French call an "accent grave" and not an "accent aigu". That mistake alone would be enough for me to not buy the soap. I might just get the unscented one knowing how much "luck" I've had with his scents, we'll see how I feel about it once I know the real price.

I mean, if we're going there, he insists on his brand being pronounced 'Holy Cow' even though 'Kaw' the way it's spelled makes that impossible. Sri can argue into the ground about it, but you cannot get an "ow" sound out of that spelling no matter which way you say it.

Topofthechain already posted prices. It is 32.99 CAD for Bare Siero and 39.99 CAD for Fougere. So it is 25 and 30 USD
