My Shaving Soap Epiphany

Since becoming a wet-shaver three years ago I never paid much attention to my selection of shaving soap (VDH was good enough), but that all changed last year. I spent the past year deployed with the Army to Kuwait, sharing a bathroom with 100 of my closest friends. While shaving is one of my favorite past times, the sinks were located directly in front of the toilets. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite as disconcerting as attempting a leisurly shave while your nose struggles to ignore the stereo smell of the colonic symphony a few feet away.

On a whim, I ordered some hand made shaving soap Mancave Soapworks off of the Etsy website. The first thing I noticed was how amazing it smelled. If I chose the sink farthest from the stalls, I could once again enjoy my shaving experience.

Now that I'm home, my wife enjoys the smell of my shaving soap (Colt .45) and the aftershave that goes along with it.

The moral of the story is, a good shaving soap can mean the difference between an enjoyable experience and throwing up in your mouth.
 
Too much info I am afraid.

I am going to have to go sniff my Arko to get my head back together :letterk1:
 
I was curious about their shaving soap. I ordered one of their aftershaves. I didn't realize it didn't have alcohol until I received it. Worked pretty well but I've come to the realization that I prefer alcohol in my AS.
 
This is among the other great sacrifices our country's military personel make when serving overseas. Thank you for your service and enjoy your soap :thumbup: .

Their soap works really well. At $4.50 a puck it won't break the bank. I like the aftershave, but I still like Old Spice on occasion.
