We're No Stinkin' Outlaws — general musings

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,...

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...

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...

My friend called me out of the blue this afternoon, just to wish me a happy new year. 2019 (and 2018) had been rough (fuck cancer*) for him, and we were talking about how I felt like he had dealt with his cancer with such incredible grace. "You really showed...

"You know, we're 'steering by averages.'" - Me, to my dad "We used to do something called 'dead reckoning.' We would look at where the stars were positioned in relation to our plane, and triangulate our position... but, of course, we were in planes going 500 miles per hour." -...

My own personal Credo dropped neatly into place after seeing my favorite movie Happy Feet II, which holds all the secrets to a life of happiness.  If you remember Sven, the puffin masquerading as a flying penguin, he had the following powerful words for us: “If you want it, you...

Kindness was #4 on our Magnificent 7 Outlaw Values, but as I've spent time in this business, I think we underestimated the importance of kindness. It's really something that has set us apart from other companies out there -- this idea that we would go out of our way to...

This morning, during my habitual routine of scanning Facebook while imbibing loads of hot coffee and rubbing night cobwebs from my eyes, I spotted Danielle's (Bosslady’s) post on Outlaw Soaps asking Outlaws for their personal Credo. Credo. My Boss uses good words. Credo comes straight from the Latin word, meaning...

It has been one whole month since I walked through the doors of Outlaw Soaps, and I wanted to sit a spell and reflect on my bountiful good fortune with you fine folks. You have no idea how much I love this job… and these products… and our team! During...

On this holiest of gratitude days, we want you to know, from the heart, how much we appreciate you as our friends, customers, and family. It’s you and your undying love of our little band of Outlaws that keeps this whole shebang bangin’. This has been a year of many...

Outlaw Soaps has been around for many years, and over that time, I've pretty much been the only person maintaining the website, writing the product descriptions, updating the photos, and, possibly most importantly, making all the design decisions in the company. In the past year, we've brought on some new...
