Do you like it? Got any extraordinary stories about it?
And lastly, to the DC/MD/VA or even NY folks, if any of you guys do where do you get it from?

I use dudu osun, that is the best black soap to use. i mostly stick wit it in the summer, and here and there in the winter.
it is very very good. i usually get the whole sale price but lately its been selling for very cheap, i started to rack up on it from now, deh selling dem for 2 bars for $5. and deh is a spot on atlantic ave in bk, ova by dem arabs dat have bulks for good price.

the burning feeling you gettin is nuttin, it will do dat for a while, juss make sure you skin can handle it, the burning would go away, but after you wash yuh face wit it put some pure shea butter on yuh face and it will make yuh face feel better, shea butter works wonders wit dat soap.

Yea..so I here. I was doing some research a while back and I read that the basis of black soap is actually the shea nut but not the same part that is used for the soap so maybe that's why...

BnS...buy some & come bring it fuh meh nuh?

i heard that soap (the dudu thing) was supposed to be good for the skin, but then this is coming from nigerians who are notorious in the UK for bleaching, and i'm a damn sight pale enough without help. so if anyone uses it tell me how it works out.

but then i make my own soap so

If you're ever downtown, you can get it on K Street, between 18th St and Conn. Ave. There is a vendor on the sidewalk who sells is for about $2.50/bar. You can also find it at a lot of African markets or stores that sell African clothing. And, there's always eBay. Do a search on Dudu Osun and you should be able to purchase it for a fairly reasonable price.

It's doesn't dry out your hair???

. I would think it would strip everything from your hair. I used it for a few weeks. It was okay on my skin but it made my face kinda feel kinda tight.

If all else fails, you can go to the House of Khamit or Blue Nile on GA Ave near HU. But it might cost you a grip...like $4/bar

Good lookin' out Val...I may have to take a trip b4 I go back to the Chocolate City! I wish I would've gotten to buy more from Rory b4 he left

oh i don;t use it alone.... i use that first.. then i use my regular shampoo and conditioner... and i dont use it all the time.. when i do i usually deep steam it wit melted shea... so i guess that balances out
