Tough match-up here. Catie's Bubbles is one of the OGs of wetshaving. Been around for over 10 years and started making a vegan soap because someone told him it couldn't be done. Mr. Bubbles in my LG interview series:
"... there were two soapmakers in a Facebook Group that threw down the gauntlet saying that you can't make a good shaving soap without using animal fat. I took that as a challenge and I've never turned my back on that. Neither of them is involved with the industry anymore, yet here I am..."
This is a guy that I want to ride with. Chris has been a big part of this community over the years, and makes stellar products.
Nothing against Spearhead. Everything Dennis had made is fire. Spearhead doesn't miss. But I think Catie's Bubbles is gonna need all hands on deck today, so I gotta do what I can for the underdog.
