      They offer a few good-quality brands; I do like the Compagnie de Provende liquid hand soap that they carry…

      …and those soaps from LUCIA happen to be very nice as well.

    Love those soaps as soapdish sets. Now feverishly trying to figure out a rationale for getting one for myself….

          I’ll get right on that ;-)

          Actually I’m not sure if L’Artisan makes *any* other solids at the moment.
