Best Lavender Soap or Cream

[awsmith4]

SWMBO informed me last night that she wanted a lavender cream or soap to shave with. She has been using mostly Razorock products lately and my first thought was to pick up King Louis or Chianti Lavender; however, then I started wondering if maybe we should try one of the lavenders from any of the well known English brands, or maybe somewhere else. Whatever she gets I get to use too, so that means I must order some...and then I hate paying for shipping so I will get to add other things to my cart to reach free shipping. I am not worried too much about price as long as I'm not paying a premium for an inferior product.

So what is your favorite lavender soap or cream and why?

If you like the pure lavender smell, CF Lavender might be your thing. I find it a bit too strong. But the performance is amazing.

I was just contemplating picking up a lavender soap, so I'm interested in hearing what people have to say as well. I've heard good things about the D.R. Harris Lavender, but I've never tried it myself.

Castle Forbes

Lavender is definitely my favourite scent of them all and I have several Lavender soaps and creams that I love. RazoRock King Louis, Chianti Lavender and Castle Forbes Lavender Oil are "must have" in my den, but I'm also awaiting for the Strop Shoppe Lavender to arrive and have Harris Lavender soap in my wish list to try one day.

CF for pure lavender...

T&H for a grassy/earthy lavender

KMF. I have no basis of comparison, but other members here say that it's a surprisingly good lavender scent. It's also dirt cheap and just as good brushless as it is when lathered.

Ach. Brito Lavanda is a good, cheap lavender. It isn't a very sweet lavender though and it is more earthy but their Lavanda cologne smells absolutely amazing since it is more of a woodsy lavender.

KMF is a good suggestion. While it's not on par with CF, it still has a nice lavender scent at a good price.

Castle Forbes for me......

 

[Niles]

Castle Forbes (cream) and DR Harris (soap) are my favourite lavenders.

Another vote for CF.

You could also try MW Wild Lavender, she does a nice soap that has a strong lavender scent.

If you are going to go cream my recommendation would be AOS Lavender; it's a nice thick/ dense cream with a wonderful Lavender scent IMO.

 

[elsmooth]

D.R. Harris, RazoRock King Louis, and RazoRock Chianti Lavender get my vote.

Vulfix Lavender is nirvana to my nose.

+1 Marco RazoRock King Louis, Chianti Lavender and Castle Forbes Lavender Oil ....Chianti Lavender was the first soap I feel in love with , so much so now that it was mentioned I will order a tub when Joseph returns!

 

[SplitHair]

Castle Forbes and Martin de Candre

Mystic Water wild lavender is the best lavender I have ever smelled. It is my favorite shaving soft good.

Well KMF is available at the grocery store so we will try that regardless if we order something else

Vulfix Lavender is nirvana to my nose.

Haven't been able to find many reviews on this, I assume you like the performance as well? Price seems good for 225ml of cream.

I wasn't aware that MdC was lavender, I guess this will definitely justify the purchase!


I think I will definitely grab RR King Louis since we haven't tried the shea butter soaps from Razorock, but everything else you all have mentioned looks enticing. I have been wanting to try Castle Forbes creams anyhow so this would be a good reason, though it had been the lime that has been on my short list. I love soaps so the DR Harris intrigues me as well. I can't decide, guess I'll have to try them all

AOS. I have to fight the Mrs. for it.
