great for the aftermath of car repair • digging that entire new garden bed in one day • also scooping the yugh out of the toilet when it backs up & you hafta take it apart, that’s the WORST • this gets you three bars, for those extra-big yugh jobs

it’s scrubby • activated charcoal to help with the stank • round so it’s easier to hang onto • & extra shea butter (after all that scrubbing your skin’s gonna need it)

also useful for stinky fighters, archaeologists, medical examiners • & those with an advanced case of con funk

I picked up a pack of your Blacksmith’s Hands Soap and it *really* works. After a hard day of fighting or practice, I use this soap and there isn’t even a *hint* of the fighter funk left over after a scrub. I will definitely be buying more in the future.

i could talk about the dragon’s blood resin • (it’s fascinating stuff) • but that’s not actually what’s in this soap • patchouli, plum, and cherry get the smell right though

I love Kate’s soap!
It foams up beautifully, particularly when I am using a hand knit washcloth; it smells divine, with a soft scent that doesn’t trigger my allergies.
I asked Kate to make me a Dragon’s Blood soap with sea salt in the mix for grounding and protection. I am going through a very challenging period of my life (like ya do) and have found it to be very calming and soothing during my showers, and I feel protected, grounded, and at peace afterwards.
