You must try this...

[rtaylor61]

I'm still new to most of this, but one thing I have learned is that as a group, we are always on the lookout for something new. Now, there are the established brands, the three T's, Proraso, etc. What I'm wondering is, what have you found, whether on ebay, surfing the web, or on a local basis, basically a "no name" item that makes you want to say, "You must try this!"?

Waikiki "Comfortcaine" instant relief pure aloe gel (94% concentration) with cooling lidocaine. Hands down cannot be touched by any other product I have used in terms of soothing/healing/and combating razor burn.

When I first started wetshaving; I tried some of THIS http://stores.ebay.com/Chelseas-Soap-Garden_Shaving-Soap-and-Mugs_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQftidZ2QQtZkm e-Bay sellers soaps.

They are REALLY slick with great scents. Plus, the Green Tweed Aloe soap was an AWESOME shower soap. She had awesome feedback with a full refund policy (including shipping). Great stuff to try IMHO.

Howard,

Which shave soaps did you try?

The 'Oak Moss' soap sounds good. Too bad they do not ship to Canada.

Randy,

I think I ended up trying most all of them (except maybe the unscented). I asked for a "sampler" and explained to her that I was new to using a brush with soap, etc. She was very helpful and explained how her soaps contain a type of clay that makes them slippery, etc. She also suggested some (her husband and sons favorites), although I don't remember which they were.

Granted, it's been a while and I've tried and have a TON of soaps and creams, etc. Maybe they weren't as good as I remember (her service certianly will be) compared to Charles, etc. However - they also worked GREAT in the shower!! Really gentle (but slippery) and an EXCELLENT gentle scent.

Where can you buy this? Price?

Howard,

Can you melt these in a bowl in the microwave?

Thanks!

Darkwolf,

Generally, you can melt glycerine soaps in the microwave, and these look like they should be fine. If you want to experiment with a soap, cut off a small piece and give it a zap.
