Which soap to try

Rem700 · Jul 30, 2014

My present soaps are lacking for my SR use, I presently only have Ogallala and VDH soaps.
I have been watching the classies for soaps but thus far they have been sold before I get logged on.
Where is the best place to purchase
Cella
Arko
Tabac
These seem to always be recommended if not for the smell.

Do yourself a favor and try the Razorocks. They are very cheap and top notch in glide especially when you make a Ubelather with a creme

Doc226 · Jul 30, 2014

Tabac

IIRC: Italian Barber carries all three.

I really like Arko and those other two are on my list to eventually try. I purchased Arko in bulk from Amazon.

+1 Still haven't found a soap that works or feels better for me.

Find yourself a soap that has tallow. Regardless of brand, I found it superior to the non tallow soaps.

This. I'd also add lanolin creams to the list. Musgo Real and a straight razor are a hard to beat combination.

+1 on the lanolin creams. Get yourself a big 500ml bag of Vitos eucalyptus and lanolin, if you dare. Great stuff, IMO.

the body shop: maca root shave cream.
love, love, love it.

I know it sounds like a fanboy statement, but I've been using Mitchell's Wool Fat for the last two weeks and I've never had better shaves. Zero neck irritation and my skin looks great. I honestly think I've found my soap! Once you figure out the lathering, it's no problem; and I have super hard water at my house too.

I love the smell of Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Soap

Rocco11 · Jul 31, 2014

Mike's, MdC, and MWF are my favorites, but Stirling (especially the Scots Pine w/mutton tallow) is right there as well.

I'm always going to say Senergy
