This morning I am hanging my head as I type this. The Port-au-Prince is going to the clearance aisle. The citric acid from the huge amount of Citrus essential oils was too much, and while the soap performs wonderfully (and smells amazing), the staying power of the lather is simply not in line with the rest of my soaps. So, the PAP is now on clearance for $4, which is below materials cost. As I said, it still give a nice shave, and if youve ever wanted to find out if Vetiver is a scent for you, this is likely the lowest cost that you will ever see in a Vetiver essential oil soap. It pains me to do this, because I absolutely love the Vetiver-citrus blend. However, Im probably going to do just a straight Vetiver soap the next time I try this. (or maybe Lemongrass......light bulb!) On another note, to prevent issues like this in the future (translation: to prevent me from getting cocky and falling in love with my own product), Im going back to sending out testers of every new soap before I add it to the website. I have 4 testers lined up so far. I need two more volunteers. There is no cost to you. Ill send you the samples and you just have to use the soap exclusively for at least three days, including doing some test lathers outside of shaving, and report back to me with your findings. Testers do need to be in the US. For the handful that already bought the PAP, youll be receiving a refund of a portion of your invoice here shortly. Hope you all have a great day, Rod
