This will be a multi part review/journal on my experience with Dr. Jon's shaving soap. Do to the length of my review I am going to brake it apart into multiple posts. Here we go!
I was the lucky winner of a sample pack of 6 shave soaps from Dr. Jon’s Handcrafted Shave Soaps Co. http://www.drjonshandcraftedsoapco.com/. As this is my first experience with this soap and many on B&B have not tried or heard of Dr. Jon’s, I thought I would lend my opinion of his shave soap for the community. Also since I received 6 varieties of soap I cannot shave with then all right away so this will also be an open ended review/journal of my experience with Dr. Jon’s products.
Disclaimer: I did receive these soaps as part of a contest so I did not pay for them. However, this in no way effects my opinion of them as I would not have ever tried some of the scents if it was not for this contest. I have also only be wet shaving for a little over a month so my lather technique and exposure to shave soaps and creams is low compared to most. I have used shave soaps from a variety of sources including TOBS and Cold River Soap Works (CRSW), so I feel I have a good basis to provide my review. All statements written are my own opinion.
Each category of my review will be based on a 10 point scale. With 1 being very poor/not desirable, 5 being average/not bad but not necessary great, and 10 being excellent/very desirable.
I will review the soaps on the following categories: packaging, tin scent, soap load-ability, lather, lather scent, face feel, shave, after shave face feel, after shave scent, and price. Price comparison will be based on current listed price on Dr. Jon’s website.
