Hi Everyone,
Quick background, I am still very much a noob and trying to find my perfect lather combo for my daily shave. With the help of a Nordstrom giftcard, I found myself in front of the Jack Black display case in awe.
So. Much. Stuff! All of it had the best smell and, a price tag to go with it. I already have the Triple Lather- it doesn't lather too much but I like it for a super lather- so I wanted to branch out and try other JB stuff.
First time I bought a combo pack with face wash, beard lube and aftershave lotion with SPF. I can go into further detail if you want but these three things are my new FAVORITE things ever. While gathering this I saw the soap and thought "I didn't know they had a soap!" It was $15 so I didn't buy it but vowed to be back after some online research.
B&B being the first place, I couldn't find much on it. I scoured the search and found a few people asking about it but not much in performance. Next stop, amazon. Current there are 4 reviews at a 4 star. Okay, a little detail, not much. Last Friday I went back and bit the bullet. First shave was Monday morning. Now to my terrible (really, it is) first thoughts review:
First, I am not a soap guy. This is my first real soap aside from proraso white croap which lathers like a beast.
I decided to go with an all JB shave and bowl lather this soap over the beard lube as a pre-shave. I got the BEST shave I've ever had! However, I had a hard time getting a decent thick lather from the soap.
Tuesday same deal, same shave, semi decent lather. So here is my first thought bottom line. Something in this combo is working really well for me and the only thing I changed was adding this soap. It seems super slick over the already slicker than snot Beard Lube. I plan on making this my go to routine and hope with the tutorials on here that I can get better at soap lathering and hopefully this is one that truly does lather like a king. Until then, for you curious folk out there, I like it. Two semi lathered thumbs up!
