South Africa, similar to many other countries consists of a wide range of cultures, races and communities that have all developed, not only individually but also as a nation. We have all played a part in contibuting to what we are as a country today, our diversty and origin is something to be celebrated, cherished and preserved, and we need to be proud of who we are and where we are going. The history of the Afrikaner starts in 1652, when the VOC started a Dutch colony in the Cape, these are times of adventure and wild discoveries, bold actions and daring feats. Three ships namely De Goede Hoop, Drommedaris and Reijger landed on the southern most tip of Africa to spark the birth of a people, and this is their story; Their sweet notes are sung into your nostrils, their soapy adventures are mapped into the lathery tracks on your cheeks, the best part of this journey is definately in the journey, it is almost dissapointing when you arrive at chisel-smooth-face-port-of-call....but rest assured, at least you can repeat this journey again and again and again.
Much like our country this soap has the ability to change without losing its identity, it will grow and develop to become a product of its experiences and interactions, all who shares this journey has the opportunity to shape its destiny, if there is one thing Saffers have learnt, it is that it is up to us to shape the future, no one person has the ability or skill to steer the ship to greater destinations.
 
Like the other ships, Reijger also had some traditional spice aboard, but it was also the main carrier vessel of the fruit and sweet stuff, and this is why a sweeter smell will waft into the air when you open the tub. Once again your input has the power to steer this ship, grab the oars, set the sails and man the whipstaff by letting us know your thoughts; More sweet, less sweet, add melons or oranges, maybe some rum or a shot of brandy... 
 
As set out in the summary of this collection page, sheep/lamb tallow has qualities different to that of beef tallow, it is a new avenue we have strolled into and we will continue to explore and experiment with it. For now we do not anticipate any changes to the base formulation, but there may be some cosmetic changes in terms of colour and appearance. Please do try this new product and leave detailed reviews, the more we get the better know which way to steer the ship, to us it is a great shaving soap base, but chances are it may very well be improved upon, recipes can be adjusted in millions of ways, and it is unlikely we have found the best possible base in the first few tries, with your help this one may venture into the hallowed halls of tallow titans.
