Unless otherwise state, all handcut bars are an average weight of 4 ounces.    Sub Categories  SOAP SCRAPS #11  BAY RUM SOAP Our Bay Rum soap has been a consistent best-seller since I introduced it years ago.  Redolent of spice, bay and citrus, this is definitely not your Grandpop's bay rum, it has a richer, spicey scent that even women love!   Essential oils and finely ground spices leave skin fresh, moisturized and gently exfoliated.  Makes a great shaving soap too...just ask my husband!  Packaged with a vintage image of a circa 1850 Boston schooner.    Our Price:  $6.00   Units:       each This Item Is Only Available in Limited Quantities There Are Currently: 6 Available Qty    CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW #67  NEW ENGLAND SPORTSMAN'S BUG BAR Our famous Bug Bar is back again and just in time for the annual onslaught of black flies, mosquitos and no-see-ums!  EXCELLENT FOR CAMPERS!  Wash with this throughout the bug season to leave a scent on your skin that bugs don't like but you won't even notice.   One of our best sellers for many years!  All natural fats and oils, nothing artificial.  Will NOT dry out your skin.  Makes a great deodorant soap too at any time of year and you can also use it as a SHAMPOO for further bug protection. Don't leave home without a bar!   Our Price:  $6.00   Units:       each Approximate Shipping Time: in stock    CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW #79  GRANNY'S 1841 LYE SOAP Did you know that farm fresh, grass fed tallow and lard are now considered 2 of the healthiest fats you can consume? They're also good for your skin, and this is one super long lasting chunk of good old fashioned soap like Granny made, only much better! Prepared in small batches using the cold batch process.  Gentle on your skin but tough on grease, dirt and grime. You will not find it to be harsh like Granny made in the old kettle out back, my soap is much more refined due to careful measuring of fats and lye so nothing caustic is left in the soap. Long curing time ensures gentleness. Use it for laundry, scrubbing floors, bathing pets, cleaning dishes and general all purpose cleaning if you choose, as well as bathing for its creamy mild lather and skin moisturizing properties. This is THE perfect soap for "survivalists" who want a good wholesome soap they can bathe with and use for other cleaning purposes.   Our Price:  $7.00   Units:       each Approximate Shipping Time: in stock Limited Quantities There Are Currently: 2 Available Qty        CLICK ON IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW #81  LAVENDER OATMEAL SOAP The delicate scent of lavender with colloidal oatmeal and Scottish oats.  I use oatmeal alot in my soaps as it is so soothing to dry skin and has so many benefits.  Regular 4 oz. bath bars packaged in lovely Italian paper.  Papers will vary according to what I have on hand.  Great soap for gift giving!   Our Price:  $6.00   Units:       each Approximate Shipping Time: in stock Limited Quantities There Are Currently: 6 Available Qty        CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW #95  1862 PRAIRIE SOAP Pure, unadulterated soap just like women made on the open prairie 125 years ago, but much nicer to your skin!  We don't have to leach water through wood ashes over an open fire to make our soap, but we do use fresh tallow from grass fed beef as it's one of the best ingredients for long lasting, creamy soap.  Our tallow comes from a midwest farm. Big hand cut bath bars come wrapped with a vintage photo of life on the prairie.  Bars weigh approx. 5 oz each   Our Price:  $7.00   Units:       each Approximate Shipping Time: in stock Limited Quantities There Are Currently: 4 Available Qty        Extras:
