[TheForge] simple propane burner question & soap

Tue Aug 6 14:05:00 2002

I didn't realize that you folks are THE Barking Crow- the company that makes
the shampoo soap I love!!!  I've been ordering from a store in Chicago, but
now I'll have to start going straight to your website.
This is a nice soap for dirty blacksmiths (and their cleaner partners).  It
makes you and your bathroom smell better.
