I love hard-milled soaps - but $39 ... ugh - I buy mine at Home Goods and TJ Maxx. My girlfriends are also soap nuts too - maybe I should get these as a 'treat'.

Can anyone tell me what the 'difference' is with these soaps compared to what is sold in the stores ?

@sktchy I know it sounds expensive, but the bars are huge, triple milled, and last a long time. I actually cut the bars in half to make them easier to handle. In addition to the goat milk from their farm, I believe the other ingredients in their soap to be better, like shea butter and Kukui Nut oil. They make a super creamy lather, smell terrific, and never dry out my skin. I also think there's something to be said for supporting an American small business when I can.

They leave the glycerin in their goats milk soaps. They don't leave your skin dry. I love them. They are also huge 9 oz bars. They are triple milled. Buy some & enjoy.

I have to try them now - and I will 'share'. I saw the 'Boys' in a article from Architectural Digest. There where pictures of their farm house and how the brand was founded.

Is there a fragrance ? Just wondering - the only soap I cannot handle is the African black soap.

Now I am getting excited !!!

Yes, @sktchy there are assorted fragrances and they all smell great. You can check them out on the Beekman1802 website or Evine dot com

I can't use African Black Soap either. I tried it a couple of years or so ago, it dried me up something awful and made me itch like crazy. Anyone in our house who tried it had the same reaction.

I was interested in the new three piece set plus the caddy but not for $7.00 in shipping.

I love these soaps too. I bought them when they were a TS. I tried to buy another set the other day when the shipping was $3.49.

All of the scents were sold out. I then asked to be notified when more stock was available. Less than 24 hours later, all of the scents were back in stock with the higher $6.99 shipping. I found this strange.

Update: I called Evine CS, they told me if I wanted to order the soaps, they would reduce my shipping to $3.49. So I placed an order.

WOW, @deeva, that's great! I wish I would have thought of that, but I didn't. I know what you mean about the stock situation. The night the BB's were there, everything sold out except the unscented. Then, when I looked yesterday, everything was back but the unscented was sold out. I had asked to be notified when the Heirlook Violet was back in stock. Would you believe, I just got the email a little while ago?

Thanks for posting this, OP. It caught my eye -- nice for personal use and a couple for Christmas gift-giving. Even though I've never heard of this product, I went to the site and ordered a set of Vanilla and a set of Orange Honey. The charges were $39.26 for the first set plus $6.99 shippping, and for the second set $36.26 and free shipping. The reviews are excellent, so I'm excited to receive.

I just ordered mine!!! Not thrilled with the shipping, but I considered it a trade-off ~ getting it now rather than it being sold out on Thanksgiving.
