An Etsy treasuries collection

Items from The Gentleman's Soap Company have been featured on a number of Etsy treasuries lately- I suspect treasury curators are trying to advertise Father's Day type products. There are a lot of good mens items on Etsy to check out, and browsing these links is a quick and easy way see many of them.
If you're our friend on facebook you might have already seen these links. If you're not our friend, why not?

All of the items in our Etsy shop, including the shave soaps in hand-folded gift boxes, are on sale through Father's Day.

On another press-related note, I was excited to see we were mentioned on the blog Soap is Beautiful. While I tend to think of soap as more of a functional product than something to look at, there are some very artistic soaps out there. How nice to be considered among them.

Gift sets and other things coming up

This week we've been working on a number of different things. We've been tweaking our aftershave and solid cologne recipes, learning to make wooden bowls, and starting some gift box sets.

We'll be testing the aftershaves and colognes on happily willing family and friends, and after using their feedback to perfect them, they will be made available on our website.

Matt took a woodworking class this week and made this beautiful wooden bowl. He needs to order a few things to be able to do this at home, but plans on turning this new skill into soap dishes, shave bowls, and shave brushes.

A few people have asked me if we will be doing anything special for Father's Day in June. We definitely will have gift sets available in plenty of time to have them ordered, shipped, and delivered before Father's Day. For those looking for a smaller gift (for an Easter basket, perhaps?) I've started listing some shave soaps in hand-folded paper gift boxes on our Etsy shop.

Old Timey Dry Skin Salve is temporarily sold out, but don't worry, there will be more available soon. Also, the Barbershop Gentleman will be available in all styles by the end of this week.

Also available on Etsy

For those who prefer, we are also adding a few items to etsy - a well-known site for buying handmade and vintage goods. You can visit our etsy shop at thegentlemanssoapco.etsy.com. There's only a few things listed there, with the full range of soaps and other products only being available on our shop site.

So far it's been a warm reception on etsy. Two of the four soaps we have listed have been featured in member's treasuries, which are like little collections people put together. Etsy defines it as a "member curated shopping gallery".
