We're No Stinkin' Outlaws

"It has definitely given me a confidence boost wherever I go." - Guy's review on Blazing Saddles Handmade Bar Soap Today, I'm going to get up in front of about 300 people and give a talk about Outlaw: the business we built based on the concept of how scents can...

As you may know by now, we are relocating Outlaw from the mountain town of Grass Valley, California to the valley town of Sparks, Nevada. Our new workshop is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and has many open walls that we are looking forward to decorating. This may seem like a hokey idea,...

(But not necessarily in that order) When you write in asking for products, we don't just nod and smile, we actually keep a really rigorous tally of your requests: Today, for Casual Friday (on our Facebook page), I'll be talking about what happens when people make product requests, and generally...

I was kicking so much butt at doing 90 blog posts in 90 days, but then I got to Denver, got a flu, got done with the trade show, got home, and got busy... with other stuff. It's no secret that small business is a big job -- we're in...

Our Double Down Handmade Soap and Lotion subscriptions (with free shipping) have been so beloved by all that we're going to be extending that same type of philosophy to a new body wash and lotion set. Long time customer and friend-of-Outlaws, Rashed, asked if we'd be doing a subscription of...

I talk a big game over here in the blog, but you know who makes this whole machine go? It's my husband and business partner (and best friend), Russell Vincent. In 2018, we sold 11,600ish bars of handmade soap. In 2019, we sold more than 43,000 bars, most of which...

I'M WRITING THIS FROM THE SKY! This week, Sue (our intrepid Wholesale Sales Manager, Alias: The Hook-up) and I are descending on Denver for the Western & English Sales Association (WESA) trade show, where we'll be cowboying* around with all the Western shop enthusiasts from the West Coast (and general...

We sometimes get questions about whether Outlaw is for men or women, and, call us modern, but we believe that anyone can smell like campfire at dusk, like warm leather, and like a fine bourbon. Outlaw's made for everyone, plain and simple. Sure, we have some more traditional scents like...

Blazing Saddles, our ultimate cowboy scent (leather, gunpowder, sandalwood, and sagebrush), is hands down our most popular scent. Why? It's a surprisingly deep and complex arrangement of olfactory delights, which evoke a lone cowboy walking into town, carrying his saddle, smelling of a recent gunfight. It's the scent of the...

People talk about an author's "body of work," and we in the body wash business want to talk about our body of body wash. You may have noticed that for whatever scent you're into, we've got a family of scents to support your interests. Our body wash is no different......

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: our solid cologne is made with the same high quality ingredients as our (no longer available) solid lotion. We used to make a hand balm for extra dry hands, and people kept using it as cologne and asking if we could...

On Friday, we did the final walk-through of our new facility and got our BRAND NEW SHINY BRASS KEYS. I think any sane person would have a moment (or 100) of "What are we doing?" when committing to a 5 year lease in a new town with a skeleton crew...
