Give Mama Bear's soaps a try. You can get a couple of 4 oz tubs for $20 + shipping. Watch the BST section for deals on brushes. I have 3, but my favorite is the Vulfix 2234.

Good guns, those Rugers!!!

I'd buy a Shea brush (either at Target or on the bst here) for about $12, and blow the rest on creams and soaps. For $25 you can go to any mall and get a puck of Cade (L'Occitane), a tube of Bigelow (Bath and Body Workds) and a puck of Nomad (Crabtree and Evelyn) that'll take you close to a year to get through.

I can't answer the longevity question yet. As for that particular Mama Bear's soap, I got a sample sliver of it and it smells NICE!!! Haven't shaved with it yet. Currently my favorite is MB's Masculine Musk. Its great!!

A cheap soap like VDH can last about 2 months of daily use. A high end triple milled soap can stick around for almost a year.

I highly recommend trying Queen Charlotte Shaving soap. They are $7.50 for nice plastic dish with very a nice variety of scents. I have the Lime and Sandalwood and they make awesome lather that is very easy to make even with hard water. Can't beat the price vs. quality quotient on these.

OK op before we go any further we need to get something straight here right now !!!!!!!!

The one , and only thing that deserves the respect of the Almighty , Colt 45 ACP cartridge was made by the hands of gods prophet on earth the great JOHN MOSES BROWNING ! His invention , the Greatest handgun on earth the model O of 1911 , is the god chosen platform for this greatest of calibers

Any other firearm platform that is chambered for the CHOSEN caliber of 45 ACP is just a wannabee , and poor mans subsitute !!!! Please , for all good sake head over to the 1911forums , so that we can get you on the way to model 1911 ownership ASAP , so you will not soil the good name of the 1911 , or the 45 ACP cartridge with an inferior gun !!!

sarcasim - rant meter now off !

moses, funny how people still thinks old technology is the best invention ever, theres alot of newer models of the .45 that will put that old style 1911 to shame in performance, work just as hard an longer,an more comfortable to shoot as well. this will lead to pissing contest like ford vs chevy gun an car snobs i never understood it im done later
