People always joke about Geek Stink. That smell that comes to mind when you think of a group of adolescent geeks huddled around a game of Dungeons and Dragons with Hot Pockets and Mt. Dew at hand. That odor of acne cream and unwashed sweaty shirts emblazoned with comic books heroes and jokes the average person won’t understand. It’s as big a stereotype as the 30 something computer nerd the basement at his moms hunting the interwebs for mint in box action figures.
With the geeky world merging with pop culture and a plethora of products and companies aiming at the geek market it should be no surprise that there is now a whole new world of geek soap. And I don’t just mean soap for geeks I mean soap BY geeks.
Luxury Lane Soap is hand crafted by a full on geek gal who loves her Star Trek and conventions as much as anyone, hell she even made some Big Shiny Soap for us. She gives us great smelling, all natural soap that is freshly made to order in some of our favorite shapes. Bobba Fett, NES controllers, the Tardis, Unicorns and all kinds of great stuff.
I ordered a bar of NES soap as well as some of her non geek shaped goods. I got a Dapper Shaving Soap stick as well as some Pumpkin Flavored Sugar Scrub for my girlfriend. I got an email thanking me for m order as well as informing me that my products were going to produced fresh and another as soon as they had shipped. They were at my door in no time and opening the box already smelled great.
The NES controller looked dead on. If it had a cord coming out of it I couldn’t tell the difference between it and the real thing, and it had a great fresh scent to it. The shaving soap reminds me of a push pop and it also had a great scent that is kind of manly and clean at the same time. I have to shave every single day for work and actually can be forced to write a memo to my superiors apologizing for my appearance if I don’t. I also hate to shave because I always got razor burn and have tried all kinds of different shave gels and creams. The shave soap from Luxury Lane worked amazingly. Honestly it’s the best shave I’ve ever had plus it doesn’t have any alcohol or chemicals that dry my face out and has left my skin much healthier in a short amount of time. The sugar scrub is some of the best smelling stuff ever. It will make the entire apartment smell amazing; I’m half tempted to eat it. Plus Kylee Lane included a little robot in my order which will always make me happy.
This is great stuff made by a great geek. There is a very personal touch to everything and all the products look, smell, and feel great. I’m sticking with Luxury Lane Soap from now on.
