Plain and simple shave soap= Palmolive and Arko sticks.
I tried this out last year because of the ad posted above. I followed the exact directions and it works. The lather was slick with good cushion. It was boring and strictly utilitarian but it worked.Give it a shot! Try a damp brush and really load a lot ivory on it. Then slowly add water to the tips. Share pictures on if this works.
I'd venture a guess that nearly every person reading this can offer a better option that Ivory soap. Unless you're just using it as a bath/shower soap.I like things plain and simple. Ivory is like wonder bread. Does anyone know of a better option.
Vaya con Dios.OK, after re-reading this thread and especially the vintage Ivory Soap ad posted by rockviper, I pledge to use a bar of Ivory Soap for tomorrow's shave! That will be a departure from this morning's Cella shave! If I survive, I will report my results. OK, which of my Gillette razors and which blade should I use? Maybe an early 50's Super Speed and "The Spoiler" blade.
Pray for me!Vaya con Dios.
+1If you like the smell of Ivory, try Arko. GREAT lather.
Cheers!
I fooled around with palm lathering it this afternoon. I'm fairly confident you'll survive and modern plastic surgery techniques should minimize the scarring. Do you know your blood type, just in case EMS want's to know.Pray for me!
I was JUST thinking of a similar analogy to post but you beat me too it. "you could put regular gas in your mercedes too, but how smooth will it run?"You could shave with used motor oil, but why not use something pleasant and manufactured for the purpose?
