Lots of natural* shave soap products, please review if you have used....

going to buy and experiment with some natural shave soaps, I don't mind the ingredients in the c.e. bigelow products to begin with, but I want to move on to a more natural approach.... I've tried kiss my face, didn't really like it too much but will retry with some shave secret, maybe different cream/water ratio.


Googling Natural Bay rum shave soap has let me to a few sites, if you have used or have anything to say about the products, please do so....

There is a whole bunch of natural, handmade, home made soaps, but I'm skeptical and this DE shaving thing is fun, but it's expensive!

Here is my Google search, pulled a lot of results....

Here is one I just found, the website is vague, I don't see s/h charges or anything...

I emailed them for a more thorough ingredient list, shipping charges, etc.... I'll reply to this post when I find it....

Anyone use this before? (The shave soaps, but other products up there as well?)

okay! will do, thought I would do a compilation post for others in the same boat as me, I'll be sure to post reviews when I get a few bars!

I think i underestimate B&B, being a new member, I just seen a post on Pirates shave soap in the review section, dang! Thanks for leading me to another hour of reading when I got to wake up @ 4:30am
lol

Caswell Massey is just lousy stuff and is far from "all natural.

If you want a good Bay Rum soap, try QCS's Cayman. Smells & works great! Might not be strictly "all natural" but neither does it have lather enhancers (like SLS).

save yourself some trouble- try a DR Harris soap, or Tabac. Great lathers come from these (oh, and Speick stick)

on edit: tallow is natural, just ask a cow.

not sure what it means for a shave soap to be all natural, i've never seen one growing in the wild

... that would be pretty amazing, though

if a shave soap has olive oil in it, run away. olive oil kills lather.

Dont know about her soaps but kim at www.scentfromheavenonline.com does great AS gel. I think if you search for here here on B&B one of the guys has been using here soap. Not expensive and customer service is brilliant. I'll see if I can find it for ya.

Found it,

Melt and pour soaps loaded with SLS.

This is only true if olive oil is one of the primary fats used to make the soap. A soap can use saponified olive oil & still kick ***, as long as it's farther down the list of ingredients. QCS uses olive oil in their soaps; the lather is thick, stable, slippery & protective.
