Any soaps you won't buy again?

[SharpieB]

Just wanted to point out the Wilkinson Sword blue bowl is completely different from the Wilkinson Sword Stick. The WS stick is a very good soap, reminiscent of Tabac, but with lanolin. The scent is just OK, like Coast bath soap.

Agreed. I should have stated it was the tub I disliked. Never tried the stick.

I find it hard to buy more than one soap from any one artisan. I have in the past but
with so many artisans now with so many different scents, bases , etc I'm buying one
at a time from different artisans.

Arko.

Not because I don’t like it. I bought 12 sticks, so that’s the rest of my life!

 

[Herne]

Saponificio Varesino.

I bought many of them just to find out they just are too oily for me. Have a lifetime stock of them to use at the most drying winter months maybe.

Lesson learned, thou should not buy dozen of soaps at once without carefully testing them first.

Col. Conk seemed to disappoint me. And AoS Sandlewood had both mine and my oldest daughter' face break out.

I doubt I will buy Mitchell’s Wool Fat again. I am able to get an ok lather, but not the same creamy consistency I get from some others. It does provide a nice moisturizing face feel that I like, but so do many of my soaps and creams. It requires a little more work and effort, that’s ok, but the final payoff is lacking somewhat. To me, it’s only ok. I’m consolidating my soap/ cream from 20 to 10 or under of my faves. I want to reach for an excellent soap every time, right now I have too many in my rotation that are just....ok. I reached for MWF today because I want to use it up, thats just wrong. It’s not so bad that I’ll bin it, just won’t replace it.

I’ve found that I can get a great lather and the benefit of the lanolin by mixing MWF with a touch of TOBS and four drops of glycerin.

Godrej shave round.

I liked it at first but then all the chemicals started to irritate me.

trumpers. would not even create lather to wash the dog with.

 

[Benoni]

SV & LPL

 

[Owen Bawn]

I suspect I will never purchase Irisch Moos soap again.

This. I have a tub of Eucris soap and it doesn't lather worth a damn. People tell me the cream does quite well so I may try that, but the soap is terrible IMO.

Burt's Bees shave cream. I would of had better glide from a bar of Irish Spring.

 

[Harald]

I'm not tempted to buy Williams again.

 

[Tedolph]

Gillette Pure.

I like everything about it except one thing: it doesn't rinse cleanly.

Would have made a great travel soap.

I should have never broken my vow to never buy another Gillette product again!

 

[Smooth and Sharp]

Reef point soaps but thats only because they are out of business. I tried it again today and I can say it's my favorite soap. Lather is same quality as cella the brick but scent is better. Sucks that my top soap is not available. Im taking any left over you guys dont want

 

[Kyle89]

Arko shave stick. I actually like the scent, but it burns my face.

 

[Scaramouche]

CFG's Cryogen. Not that it's a bad soap, or a poor performer, or even that it smells bad. It's only that I'm just beginning to feel my face again after using it a couple of years ago....

 

[CapnPanther]

Bath House Spanish Fig and Nutmeg. Expensive, difficult to lather, and scent is barely discernible.

Col. Conk
VDH
RR Elegante
Proraso Red - I don’t dislike it, I just prefer the green.
TOBS - Overpriced and performance is meh.

Stirling. They just don’t do it for me. Great people and love to support small businesses, but their soap just hasn’t Served me well. Bought multiple scents and they all underwhelmed me in terms of performance. I threw out the last of them recently. Kept a few of their aftershave splashes but the soaps I don’t miss at all.

gonna backpedal on this a bit. I’ve started loading more over the past year since starting head shaving. Gave a couple Stirling soaps another go that I found in the back of my drawer (thought they were gone until a den cleaning) and they were great. I’ll keep the ones I have and would consider others in the future. I think my issue with them was underloading my brush.
