Great pine tar

I’ve been using Whippersnapper Pine Tar for many years and know with the improved version it has been great. Great product!!

Pine tar soap

I like this soap. It leaves you squeaky clean with no residue.

Works and Smells Great!

I really enjoy the Liquid Pine Tar Shampoo. It's strong, manly smell is a pleasure to use, and it gets my hair perfectly clean.

Soft skin

I'm enjoying the Pure Jojoba Soap Bar, it's almost gone! My skin was noticeably softer after showering!! It felt so soft, I skipped using my lotion and felt fine! This will be essential in winter! Thank you Old Whippersnapper!

Here goes,

I have now used for 6 showers,and the bar has only lost an ounce of weigh!!!. I was worried as the soap seemed very soft on opening. This soap deserves more stars, the heavenly aroma alone is worth 10 🌟

Pine tar soap

I like this soap better than others I've used. Strong scent lots of pine tar and father's up great. Will definitely buy more and recommend it to anyone looking for pine tar soap

Liquid Lemongrass Soap For Hands - 8 Fluid Ounces
Courtney (Grand Rapids, MI, US)
Love the Lemongrass

This soap smells so good and it doesn't have any nasty/harmful ingredients. I will continue to buy from Old Whippersnapper's - great products.

Love the soap

I buy the tallow soap and the lard soap. I’m really sensitive to fragrances and these soap have no fragrance. Just a slight soap smell. Great on my skin too.

Excellent soap and shampoos

Just the best. All natural, smell great, and perfect for everyday use. I use the shampoo as a body wash and it works great!!

Proper

Made proper. Great product. Went beyond my expectations. Use to get another brand that was more fragrant but not as good at lathering up. Will be buying more soon.

Manly? Not exclusively. Squeaky clean? Definitely.

I’ve been using this soap for several years now. My family likes pine tar for everyday, tea tree for scarily dirty work days, and lemongrass for the rejuvenating scent. We also use the gritty coffee soap for scrubbing nasty hands and feet after working outdoors or on cars. Also, be aware that pine tar and gritty coffee look similar but do not feel similar. In the words of a kid, “[gritty coffee] is not comfortable soap” the other kid said it felt scratchy. Not sure how they got ahold of it, but I guess it’s the only real complaint we’ve ever had. Pine tar seems to help with itchy skin, alleviates some minor eczema, and amazingly seems to calm bug bites. The price break is worth getting more at once, especially when the whole family of 6 uses it. Would totally recommend trying the liquid “hand” soaps as well as the shave bar or liquid. Great product, will return for more as soon as I grab the last pine tar bar.

Great soaps

I love the pure tea tree soap bars and also love the cedarwood soap.
Nice soap for hands and body. A great gift idea also.!

excellent

For all those pomade heads, this is a very good one. Reminds me a bit of Pomps Not Dead, but more middle than strong. Its on the less sticky side, which I often prefer. Its also a bit like Schmiere medium. Another less sticky kind. But this one has certain distinct qualities which Im finding I like. Try it a few times, I think you will for sure have it in your pomade stronghold/humidor. Lol. Its good stuff like everything whippersnapper produces.

Olde English Lavender Soap Bar

Smells nice

Smells nice.

will help with any skin condition

Best pine tar soap on the market. Others are good. But this is the best. It has a good deal of pine tar for one thing. If you have eczema or any other related skin condition, this will help. Pine tar has been used for literally centuries in one form or another. It certainly helped with my skin (I have an auto-immune condition that leaves my skin raw often). I cant recommend it enough.

English Wool Fat Soap

fantastic soap. And is great as shampoo.

This soap is not unlike the tallow soap. Its very moisturising and leaves your skin soft. I only bought one bar but intend to buy many more. Like all of the soaps here, this is the kind of hand made product you simply cant find anymore. BUY IT!

superb

If you have any kind of dry skin or eczema then this is the soap to get. Its very nourishing and moisturizing. Its also simply terrific as a shampoo. You wont find soap like this anywhere else.

100% Tallow Liquid Shaving Soap

Liquid Tallow Shaving Soap

I love this stuff! I do not use it as recommended though. Not being a big fan of the smell, I squirt one pump on top of my puck and brush up a crazy, slick lather. Very close and smooth shave. Thank you, Len!

This is the cornerstone for my hair maintenance.

Great soap

I have acne prone skin and it’s a bit too early to tell but I think it’s been helping. At any rate, I love the smell and texture it’s very high quality.

Authentic Carbolic Soap - Just Like Years Ago
James B. (Huntington Beach, CA, US)
Missed the mark (by a long shot)

I’m not sure where they get their phenol (carbolic acid) but it’s either not real phenol or they aren’t using nearly enough to be effective. My 40 year old lifebuoy soap bars have a much, much stronger carbolic smell. This soap is such a disappointment, especially considering their self-promoting claims to be doing it right. Unfortunately, you can’t find real carbolic soap as those Jamaican brands only smell right, but don’t use real phenol, and folks like this charging premium prices for inferior product. Should be one star, but they get two for lather and consistency.

Hello. We use 100% pure Carbolic Acid in our soaps, as indicated on our website. The remaining ingredients are: Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Glycerine, and Lye (used for saponification to create the soap; final product contains no lye). Also indicated on our website.

In contrast Lifebuoy soap contains no Carbolic Acid. Full list of Lifebuoy ingredients: Aqua (Solvent), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Surfactant), Glycerin (Humectant), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Surfactant), Sodium Chloride (Viscosity Controlling Agent), Glycol Distearate (Pearlescer), Parfum (Fragrance), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Lactic Acid (Skin Conditioning Agent), Citric Acid (pH Adjuster), Laureth-4 (Surfactant), Benzyl Salicylate (Fragrance), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance), Benzyl Alcohol (Fragrance), Thymol (Fragrance), Thymol (Fragrance), PPG-6 (Viscosity Controlling Agent), Tetrasodium EDTA (Preservative), Cl 17200 (Colourant).

English Wool Fat Soap

Sheep fat

I like it. I don't really feel any of the lanolin that is suppose to be in the soap but overall it is not as strong as the pine tar that I have been using.

Favorite Aroma

Love all the soap aromas. But Cedarwood is my favorite.
