Yes !
I never though soap was something that I would get excited about, but my mum introduced us to the most wonderful hand made soap a couple of years ago.
It had by a woman in the UK called Linda Hamblen, her company (her and her husband) is called Merrywood.
Her soaps are simply amazing, many of them almost smell good enough to taste. I really like the citrus based ones, which make your skin zing.
Unfortunately her website appears to be down:

She supplies via mail order, I see if I can find her contact details later.
She also wrote a book on the subject:
