So I'm new to wetshaving and have been at it for 2 weeks now. So far in my arsenal I have the following:
38c
E&J Super hair brush - small size
Tabac Soap
ToBs Lavender Cream
DR Harris - Arlington and Marlborough.
E&J Sea Buck Thorn Soap
So for the first week I was shaving with the Tabac and ToBs lavender cream switching back and forth. I love the TOBS and it makes lather fast and easy, has a more cusion feel to it compared to Tabac which has a more slick feel. Seems to sound normal compared to what others have said about soaps vs creams.
2nd week into wetshaving and my D.R. Harris soaps and the EJ soap comes. I try out the Harris Arlington the very next day. And since I've grown accustomed to the nice strong lavender and the super slick Tabac, the Arlington seemed to be a big disappointment to me. The scent is nice but nothing special. Reminds me of Irish Spring or something along those lines. The lather couldn't compare to Tabac.
I think having the Tabac, probably THE best soap. Really spoiled me for other soaps. Well the funny part was I grabbed the nearest tub I can reach and reloaded my brush. Funny how I grabbed the TOBS cream and notice the lather was super nice. Then I thought oh yeah... SUPER LATHER!! HAHAHA. I thought it was funny...
