I was in Atlanta this week, eating at South City Kitchen (some of the best food I've ever had) for the fourth frickin time in a week, and got a big glob of banana pudding on my SEXIH07BKs that I just got last week…left a weird looking mark on my thigh and couldn't take it anymore...off for a soapy soak...

I think the reason I can get away with washing my jeans very infrequently is because I don't eat desserts – which can get very messy ! The most I spill on my jeans is drips and drops of coffee -- which just sorta blends in and adds to the patina, so I don't worry about it.

Have the soap (Dr Bronners) only have to wait a couple of months until next scheduled wash !!!

I have the Citrus Orange and the Unscented. Love the Citrus Orange smell. Have not yet used it for shaving, though.

LOL..Apulator has the same smell spots. Lemon and peppermint - rep for perfect selection

Wait, so you guys are going to pay (it's a gift I understand) $40 for a detergent that is pure soap on coconut oil/potassium basis? You do realize that chemically that is basically the same as a Castille or Marseille soap on olive oil/potassium basis? The cleaning properties will be identical for practical purposes.

You can get the same effect from a $4 piece of Marseille soap. Except that that piece is not packed in plastic and does not need to be shipped around the world thereby creating a rather big carbon footprint. And I'm not even going to talk about the rather obscene margin that would make me feel super ripped off. I would accept that as a gift as to not offend the giver but I would certainly not buy it.

And all of that is beside the fact that our denim is still 100% cotton and thus can be washed perfectly fine with any decent brand detergent, your hair shampoo or ivory soap for that matter.

We like to support our local denim dealer *

[Guest]

Insanely generous support! You'd think the denim dealer is a Halliburton branch at that level and you were Dick Cheney except that it's still your own money.

[Guest]

Till, you often refer to 'wabi-sabi' what does this mean, do you have a picture as an example ?

[hectic]

Stewart, Tfar's pretty eloquent on these matters so I wont go on at length but wabi-sabi (often shortened to wabi) is about the aesthetic qualities and beauty of entropy effect on objects - but it is much more nuanced than that. Wikipedia has a useful enough entry as a starting point.

[Guest]

Heading to Wiki now. Thanks H

That one bottle of soap isn´t gonna break me. Besides - I only wash denim 4 times a year - so this bottle will last me a long time.

[Dchill]

Beatle, you think they will ship to the US?  I suppose I could just send them an e-mail.

PM Daniel.  It is he of DC4.  G
