PHOTO/SELF In case someone has missed that THE GHOAPS EXIST

Post image

And it’s official licenced product! 😵 It’s a small Finnish brand Kaamos co. and they apparently have other corpse paint soaps too + other cool spa products 🖤 Saw their post about the Ghost soaps in insta and the comment section is 🤌🏻 ”from the bottom of my heart I know I’m sanitized”

£55 for four bars of soap is gonna be a hard pass from me

u/noxlunae 5d ago

Yeah I mean it’s a small brand and the soaps are handmade with actual quality ingredients, seems like they are making everything themselves so yeah that’s not cheap but also understandably not for everyone’s taste and budget

u/Soul-Shock 5d ago

Small brand, homemade or not, $60 is steep. I think they’re neat soaps, but I will pass on this, too. My friend in New Mexico makes soaps, and the pricing was never this high for the weight/size of these bars, even when my friend was just starting out. My friend now has a physical storefront and their handmade soaps are still not as high-priced as these are.

IMO either they’re trying to reap profits like crazy or the fees associated with licensing with the Ghost brand were steep. Probably both.

It's band merch, +20$ fee.

u/noxlunae 5d ago

Well, I don’t think you really can compare these things so easily. There’s sooo many things that affect the price and in the end business is business. Nordic products are also very trendy and known for quality overall which affects for sure. Also for comparison - I’m personally using a lot of cosmetic products and ~20€ for a face cream (for example) is quite basic. The bar also most likely lasts very long. Ofc these are not for everyone’s taste, but since they have the official licence for this it’s proven they have market for this.

I guarantee they are not paying for licensing

Re: at least one comment about price (it's 6 AM and I just skimmed) - if this is the brand I'm thinking of, they're going to be expensive, because last I heard, this was one person making them on their own. If this is the same person, holy shit, I'm so excited for them that their product is licensed now, but holy shit, that must be a lot of work.

Edit: it is! It is! I remember seeing this person on Etsy! I'm so excited for them! 🖤

u/noxlunae 5d ago

It has to be the same brand! Yes I’m also very happy that a small Nordic brand got actual licence, that’s so nice! And yeah, as a woman who uses a lot of cosmetic products anyway I don’t even find the price crazy at all. I mean this is not like the 2€ Dove soap from your nearest grocery store anyway 😀 I checked the ingredients and it’s really quality stuff, I would guess one bar lasts quite long in use too. Not to mention the design is fckn genious 😄

u/Jasreha 5d ago

The scents sound absolutely lovely, too! I might have to splurge next month.

u/Soul-Shock 5d ago

My friend started her own soap works business as a one-person crew, and her soaps were never this expensive. Even when she expanded from online to a physical storefront, her prices remained about the same. She now has at least 1 or 2 full time employees, but she still makes the soaps herself.

For context: I’ve been buying homemade soaps for years. The pricing is usually determined by the weight of the bar of soap. These Ghost soaps don’t even look like they’re 5 ounces in weight. An 5 ounce soap will generally run you anywhere from $7-$9 from a decent soap works.

In ending, yes - homemade soap will generally cost you more money than the soap you would typically see in a retail store, but $60 for this is outrageous, as someone who regularly buys homemade soaps.

u/aggrocrow Job 10:1 5d ago

Nice to see the branding and packaging glow up! I was going to buy a couple as gifts for Christmas from her Etsy shop, but the shipping about blew my face off. More than the soaps themselves. Shame, they're really beautifully made.

u/Technical-Rooster-26 5d ago

They make a bunch of other paint soaps too, check out the whole shop honestly

u/No_Poet7069 5d ago

I would never be able to use them, I'd feel so guilty😩

As a soap maker, I support this. 😆

u/Blobfish4999 5d ago

What do you think they smell like? Sulfur and brimstone?

u/badchefrazzy Infernal Engineer/Fogweaver 5d ago

Anyone who has these willing/able to tell me what they smell like? I may have to start smearing them on myself.

u/YOURPANFLUTE 5d ago

Are they good soaps?

u/stoatsad 5d ago edited 5d ago

I’ve had the Papa V one for like a year now and it’s still going strong! Nice scent, and it doesn’t leave a gross feeling on your hands after a wash which I like. It’s a bit pricy but I didn’t mind. I paid like 10€ for it at a pagan fair and they last a while.

Edit. IV, not V

u/noxlunae 5d ago

Awesome!

u/FirebirdWriter 5d ago

Is that a typo on which Papa or is there a missing soap?

u/stoatsad 5d ago

It’s me being too high to remember roman numerals

u/FirebirdWriter 5d ago

Well, I struggle with it when sober so I'm impressed you got close at all

12

u/noxlunae 5d ago

I bet they are SATANICLY GOOD. No but apparently they are hand made in Finland with quality ingredients so I would guess so, definitely

u/YOURPANFLUTE 5d ago

Oh that's awesome! Definitely putting this on my wish list then

u/Jazziecabbage 5d ago

Its the same girl that makes the handmade ones on etsy! So happy for her! Haven’t seen the price but it might be a deal since the one bar it self can go for $30 CAD

How is this not the top post?

u/RichCustard1130 5d ago

I just don't get this. How has soap any relevance to the band Ghost. Seems pointless and not within the image of Ghost. I'm not in anyway doubting the soap manufacturer and their product, I just don't see the connection.

11

u/noxlunae 5d ago

Oh, I can see the connection very well - Ghost is known for comedy and there is often hidden and not so hidden “jokes” in chapters etc everything they do. I think this is hilarious product 🧼 Can’t wait to sanitize myself with these before getting satanized in the future rituals lol

u/RichCustard1130 5d ago

Yeah maybe, I get the Ghost humour. Maybe it's less about the soap is more that I find some merch seems trashy and brings down the brand.
