Faces in the Crowd Kiehl's something-or-other for hot shower prep
Sampsons All-Natural Shaving Soap ...
STOP THE PRESSES. A last-minute substitution here. The postman just delivered a new tin of IanS Orange/Lavender Soap with Tallow ... so it will get the nod today. Sampsons can wait. IanS's soap looks (and smells) very promising!

Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 version.
I first tried this soap over a year ago. It comes in a green puck, about 2 in. dia. and 1 in. thick.
It was so heavily fragranced back then, the irritation to my skin was more than I could stand.
I've since aired it out from time to time and decided to try it again recently. There may still be
a hint of irritation, but the lather and shave are great.
