I am new to wet shaving I have tried classic shavings Lavender, smells great but dont much like the way it lathers. so I thought I would try either, Qed or Taylor brand LAVENDER SOAP anyone out there know how Qed stacks up with Taylor?
Taylor vs. QED Lavender Soap
- Thread starter tosolg
- Start date
The QED will be similar to Classic's, as they are both glycerin-based soaps. The Taylor's will be different since it is a tallow-based product. Personally, if you are looking for a good soap, I would forgo the Taylor's and pick up the Kent (dirt cheap on eBay right now), T&H or Harris products. All of these produce thick, rich, beautiful lather.

I haven't tried Classic shavings soap in Lavender - but I have tried it in 5 other scents, and for the LIFE of me, I can't get it to work worth a damn In this review I have pictures of classic shaving soap lathered - as well as QED Violetta - so you can see the difference. I really enjoy QED's soaps, and QED Lavender smells simply divine, but I've got to agree with Scotto, and mention T&H makes a superb shaving soap as well. In fact - if the floris sale is still going on, that would be a good route as well.
What does the Kent smell like?Scotto said:

glycerin or tallow what is the difference? ok, classic shaving soap is glycerin base would crabtree & evelyn be a tallow base ? as I have tried c&e and now would have a base of reference. SOL G
The Kent is about as odorless as they get. It actually has a very faint "milky/almondy" scent.acoldspoon said:
