    American products "disabled for Europe"

    I think we've discussed this on another thread, but to reiterate: small, cottage industry, soap makers are not regulated by the US government. They may be by their State governments or may not. As cosmetics, they are not required by the federal government to provide a complete list of...

    A cup of tea...

    I have come to like American South. It's grown in South Carolina. It's not easy to get even here in the States but I buy some each time I visit there.

    What do you do when an auction ad is incorrect? [Poll]

    Option C: I would hope that if I were in that position someone with some knowledge would help me. I think I could do the same for others.

    For those who wondered about the regulation of essential oils, here is an FDA document that sheds some light on the topic. http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm416023.htm

    Tips for purchases from the US.

    Art of Shaving is just high end proctor & gamble. Overpriced and over-hyped in my opinion.

    They used to be much better and have a great deal more products on offer. Not anymore.

    Shaving bowls out of concrete

    This is just lightweight concrete. Apart from its weight you won't see much difference. It's not powers clay that needs to be glazed and fired.

    I didn't know how to do that either. Don't feel too badly.

    The ugly side to importing and selling 'artisan' soap

    Well, let us be honest. This is the same country that forbids liquids in bottles larger than 3 oz. to be carried on an airplane regardless of how much is actually in the container. This is the same country that inspects your shoes at the airport because some nut job tried to light hits shoes on...

    The ugly side to importing and selling 'artisan' soap

    I am not certain what you mean when talking about iso propyls. To me, propyl is a compound containing three carbons and the iso prefix means it is bonded at the second carbon in, e.g. isopropyl alcohol is a three carbon alcohol with the OH being on the second of the three carbons. (We call that...

    The ugly side to importing and selling 'artisan' soap

    I don't think regulations will protect you from irritation. That is a case by case sort of thing. If you have a reaction, stop using the product will be the only advice. What they should protect against is harmful ingredients and they do. I reiterate, the United States is not a backwater...

    Looking for a partner in 'crime'

    The thing is, most European products are available here. TOBS is about £8 ($15), Geo. F. Trumper is about £12 ($25), T&H is £15 ($30), Castle Forbes is £22 ($44). Are those prices similar to the UK prices, enough so to be worth the oversea shipping cost?

    New to safety razor shaving

    My Vie-Long horse hair brush was US$18 so should be £9-10. It works very well and is in between a badger and a boar.

    He has done so regularly since I told him it made it to England. I would hope someone would inform one of us if there were problems.
