mountainmadness Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I have not ordered African Black soap before but it is supposed to be awesome.Soap Crafter's is a very reputable company. I order a lot of fragrances from them and they are awesome. I usually get the order before I get the shipping notice.A very good experience.

ignitethesenses Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Ooooh, I've heard great things about African Black Soap - I really want to try some, but I'm not sure what to do with it Is it ready to use when you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have heard and read great things about the soap but I have never ordered from this company so I wasn't sure on the quality of the soap. I have seen it at Agbanga Karite. MM, thanks for letting me know about the company. I am going to order it. Hope I like it, I'm getting the minimum they have 5lbs. ignitethesenses, yes it is ready to use as is, you can also scent it. I have read that you can put some in a container and add water and it becomes a liquid soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappam Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 That is the Strangest looking Africian Black soap I have ever seen!It is usually a chocolate brown and kind of 'blotchy' looking. I got mine ages ago and still have some - so haven't looked lately for sites that carry it.It is usually made in a wheel - almost like a wheel of cheese - then cut into chunks. You can mush it up and add water - to get liquid soap.Oh sorry - I got carried away;) = anyway - that looks blue to me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I was thinking the same thing about the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappam Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 This is more what I am use to for the Africian Black Soap:http://www.nasabb.com/nasabbnew/blacksoap2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 OH WOW!!!! They are local to me and not to far from where I live. To bad they are closed until 8-26 but I'm gonna get some from there when they open back up. mappam--THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LINK. I talked to the other place and the lady could not explain to me why hers was blue. She says she makes it herself there. I asked for a sample so I can compare to a black one when I get some soon. Thanks for everyones help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappam Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 hmmm interesting that she makes it herself! Most of the "real" Black soap comes directly from Africa. It is made using plantain skins instead of lye and I am not sure you can do that here???So glad that the link helped - I just picked one at random for the pic of the soap:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
