I don't think I have any proper collaborative collaborations in my soap collection, so much as I have several tubs where one person made a scent and another person put that scent in their soap and their creative processes never really crossed. (Compare this to something like HOM/WK Iced Tea or SBS/LR Mountain Laurel where the scents were group efforts.)
Anyway
Shave brush was a collaboration between me and Andrew. Razor: I wanted an aluminum WR1 and James needed to try out a new anodizing company for his brushes, so he machined me a WR1 from aluminum (to check the calibration on his mill), sent it to the anodizers to evaluate the quality of their work, and then sent it to me to use and keep tabs on how well the finish held up under regular use (answer: very well). Soap is one of the earlier versions of YRP and is a little more collaborative than usual, because apparently the original rose didn't come through well in Sri's base and he had to touch up the fragrance mix to come through faithfully. Aftershave is not on theme - it just goes really well with both YRP and AdG. Fragrance was a 3-way collaboration between Alberto Morillas, Annick Menardo, and Christian Dussoulier, two of whom are very nearly in the "can do no wrong" pantheon of perfumers.
Challenge
You Oughtta Know by Canada's pride Alanis Morissette is a collaboration featuring Dave Navarro on guitar and Flea on bass. That's why it's so fuckin' funky compared to the rest of the album.
