First Canadian Shave Company, tested their soap

[shadow4478]

I heard about the company from a friend, who advised me that there was a soap maker in town.
I currently use, Arko, proraso, and First Canadian Shave Company soap. The soap lathers fantastic and preps better then anything else I have used before. The current scent I'm using is sandalwood, it's very faint and not overwhelming for all the sensitive ppl. It comes in puck form and on the soft side.
fantastic product A+

Where do you buy it?

He has an Etsy shop. Ships from Barrie, Ontario.

I completely agree. The performance is better for me than most others. I would prefer slightly stronger scents, but I also like his sandalwood and bay rum.

They just recently came out with a tallow based soap.

Same scents as far as I see.

I'm only two shaves into a sample of it now but initial impressions are good.

I have tried the Sandalwood, and the Rosemary & Lime.

The soaps are very good, but as you said the scent is faint.

Lathers very easily, and you will end up with a nice slick lather.

Anybody able to post an ingredients list? I went to his site, and there's no information at all.

Lime rosemary and Lanolin from etsy

There's a few new ones with Tallow and Lanolin. Anyone try these yet? I'd love a sampler pack.

 

[williabe]

thanks for sharing. something else to try!

This is an excellent product. I tried the unscented formula last year and I would say I'm leaning toward that with essential oils to make my own fragrances. Really great product!

 

[kingfisher]

Thanks for posting the ingredients. Promising. Looks like a nice soap.

After the west coast canadian pass box I purchased a few of his soaps and is almost all I use now i kind of like the mild scent, As everybody says great performance easy to whip up a good slick lather, Brian kindly threw a Lime and Rosemary sample in with my order which I will get next time for sure then to my surprise a sample of his new tallow soap appears in my mail! First thing I thought is this is a solid reason to keep giving him my business, it is on tap for tomorrows shave so I will let you know what I think in the next day or two.

Yes, I'm working on a sample of one now. It's a solid soap and working nicely for me but, I'm only 3 shaves in.

If you want samples of them I'd contact him through his etsy page. He was very forthcoming with the sample I got even after I explained there's no way I'm going to be buying soap for the next year.

There's quite a price disparity between the tallow and non-tallow soaps.

I'm not sure if it shows up well on his etsy page but I think he changed the quantity? I recall a comment that there's 7.5oz of soap in the tallow tubs.

I was recently given a puck of the Sandalwood, and I need to get that into the lineup.

 

[SteveTheCanuck]

Just ordered the 4 oz size of the Taper Fade and the Vetiver. Looking forward to them.

I've tried two of his tallow based soap and both were wonderful products.
