Well which shall it be Gentlemen? Whichever soap has the most votes when I get up to shave in the morning becomes my next sample to 3017!
Stuff I've tried so far in my DE shaving odyssey:
Stuff I've tried so far in my DE shaving odyssey:
Cream or Soap | Brand | Scent/Flavor | Full Size Purchase | Notes |
Cream | Proraso | Green - Menthonl/Euc | Yes- Soap Version | Daily Driver, try next as soap |
Cream | Proraso | Blue - Aloe | Yes | Awesome would buy again |
Soap | Proraso | White - Green Tea/Oat Meal | No | Great lather, smell a little sweet, won't replace |
Cream | Taylor of Old Bond | Grapefruit | No | Great scent, lather ok, doesn't protect as well as Proraso cream. Sample finished 09/08/13. Decided against full size purchase. |
Cream | Godrej | Lime | No | Great lather & scent, has lanolin! - but so many other limes out there to try |
Cream | Proraso | Red | No | 1st use Scent meh but good proraso cushion, 2nd use, proraso lather fine but scent is not there for me, 4th use same end thoughts, 5th & final use same thoughts as before |
Soap | Mitchells | Wool Fat - Clean Soap | Purchased | Smell mild/nice, performance outstanding, on purchased full size |
Cream | Sultan | Lavander | No | Smell not for me. Looked like vasaline, lather looked good, not super slick. 1st pass would leave what looked like unlatherd shave cream in blade gap even on 9. Done 9/16/13, never again. |
Soap | Cella | Bitter Almond Candy | No | Superior lather, almondesc smell plesant. Descent protection, finished sample 10/09/13! |
Soap | Tabac | Musk/Barber Shop | Maybe | Scent alright, have a feeling it may grow on me. Scent good to go! After dialing in very enjoyable. Sample finished 11/10/13! |
