so I ordered Sandalwood Vanilla & Dragon's Blood shaving soaps from Mama Bear's a couple of weeks ago and it just came in today, so naturally I screamed like a little girl ran inside and smelled them both, then went to shave. I decided I'd start today with the Sandalwood Vanilla. I feel like I wasted $20.
And by that I mean I feel like I wasted $20 on the Proraso sensitive shaving soap, and JM Fraser Mosswood shaving cream I bought and have been using for about a month and a half (in a super lather most of the time). MAMA BEAR'S IS AWESOME! SO SO SO AWESOME!
It smells terrific, (a little disappointing after you shave and you can only sort of smell it after 5 minutes, but still great) and lathers really easily and nicely, doesn't dry out, and makes your face feel great. I'm also finding my shaves have improved significantly this past week, and combined with the new soap, I had the best shave I've ever had today. No, it wasn't BBS, my hair is so thick and coarse I'd have to use sandpaper on my face for like half an hour to end up with BBS, but it was a DFS that's for sure. And not to knock Proraso shaving soap or JM Fraser's creams, (JM's Fraser I'm told is a fantastic shaving cream for the price, and I can tell too, I mean sure I'm comparing to the 10 or so different goo's I've tried over the past 7 or 8 years, but I still like it; I've tried a couple of samples of other stuff, and JM Fraser was the best shave, til now) but Mama Bear's blows them both out of the water. I feel like maybe I should write a review on Mama Bear's after I've been using it for a few weeks...
