Just arrived via friends in Wyoming - I've never heard of this one before.
Will try it later tonight I think.

Buffalo Tallow Soap
- Thread starter Gamma
- Start date
wait...I see sugar in the ingredients..maybe it doesnt taste soo bad....
Are you sure this isn't a bath soap? It doesn't mention shaving anywhere on it.
The olive oil really makes me curious about it being a shaving soap or not. I've never herd good things about olive oil and soap lathering.

I have no idea how it was being sold - came as a gift from my GF's parents.
Her parents know I'm into wet-shaving, they bought me a straight last year and ADP croap for xmas.
But - they may have thought it was shave soap because it was round, when it's a bath soap. Just don't know.
I do know they thought is was shaving soap - didn't ask why. It's a gift, not gonna interrogate them over soap ya know?
The Buffalo Tallow thing was interesting at any rate.
I lathered it, shaved with it - had a great shave with my 38C Merkur.
Lather was very slick, not so super thick until I really loaded the brush - I used a Simpsons Rover.
When I put more time on the puck the lather came up nicely.
Had a fragrance similar to Lightfoots Pine soap, but more subtle. Longer lasting too.
Very very slick stuff - incredibly so. Crazy glide on all 3 passes.
I usually use a straight and I don't think this stuff has enough cushion for me but I may give it a spin.
It did seem to not produce 'that' density I prefer but the shave was good so I guess it was good enough.
Interesting experiment - nice outdoorsy fragrance, good performance. While not quite on par with my usual soaps, it was quite a fine shave.

It has 'dark beer', and labelled as 'handmade beer soap...
Interesting.
Interesting.
Glad to hear you get a good shave with it!
Nice Submariner. I prefer the date one, but yours is probably the classier one.

Good eye, Ty.
I'd get one just for the stunning package! Is this a new or vintage soap?
Is there lanolin?

Looks good! ...as does the Rolex!!
Silk?
yup, used in many fine soaps. i.e. Mystic Waters
From the 6pack "great in the shower or try it out for a shaving soap". Well I guess its all purpose.....
This is kind of interesting it even comes in a 6-pack apparently

It's actually a pretty nice shower soap also.
