The Dirt...

This site & soaps are a collaboration between a mother & son on something they both enjoy... being creative.

Any of you who've been here before know I like to keep busy... so between university, sports and life time to blog is hard to find but when I can I do.
ps I really enjoy reading your comments.

Laters,

Scratch N' Dent bars


































They may not make it to my Etsy page....will have to see.
These bars are cold process then 'cooked' in the oven. The pics are of them dry & wet. 


This bar is sort of a combination of a Mocha Latte Cappucino ...LOL. 
It has choc , cinnamon, almond coffee, and vanilla buttercream. It would be a great kitchen bar, but I think it will have to be a scratch n' dent bar as the cinnamon seems to be leaving a slight brownish tinge on things when its wet. This may lessen as it dries out.

The next one is a spa blend of PEP. Pepper, Eucalyptus, Peppermint. I also added sea salt to the lye water & to the bar itself. This made it a bit hard however & it broke off when cutting.

Oh, definitely add them to your Etsy shop . . . "scratch n dents" will be a great opportunity for someone to try your wares and spread the good word.

Good luck with your shop : )

Thanks, I think I will.

I really like your salt bar. I have yet to try one.

Thanks Joanna.
I am thinking of a few with lots of salt in them, as I have over 200 lbs of it. When we ordered it has to be a larger amount to make the shipping worth it.

I'm never sure though, about using soap that makes me want to lick myself...

Testimonials on my soap



I saw SoapWithBalls in a forum post a few weeks ago and was so intrigued with the fabulous shop name and even more intrigued that the avatar for a soap shop was of a young man, I just had to click! After reading the shop announcement written by his mom I really wanted to give this shop it's first sale. My family (my hard working carpenter husband, a sweaty skate boarding teenage son, and a stinky little league catcher) love handmade soap and purchase all of our soap on Etsy. When I saw the manly soap in super large sizes, I thought, this is perfect.

After my purchase, he promptly sent me a thank you convo and shipping information. The communication and customer service I received was wonderful and refreshing. After receiving my Cut Lumber 10oz. bar of soap, I proudly presented it to my dear husband and he immediately took it with him into the shower. I'll tell ya, I've never seen a cleaner man in my life! I wish you the best of luck with your shop, and I will be back when our Cut Lumber starts thinning out :)

Cut Lumber-this is a huge bar of hunky soap perfect for that dirty hunky manly man in your life. This soap is definitely ballsy and not for sissies! No foo foo girly smelling soap here!

Blackstrap Licorice-Licorice was my favorite candy when I was a kid and the smell of this soap makes me want to take a bite out of it! 

Now I'm eyeing that lilac soap, it looks lovely!
