I'm sure you know the rules by now, Kim. Pics or it didn't happen.I used Mike's unscented soap for the first time today.
I've been very lax about photos... I even have that nice light box. I'll have to remedy that.I'm sure you know the rules by now, Kim. Pics or it didn't happen.
Never mind the "have to." JUST DO IT.I've been very lax about photos... I even have that nice light box. I'll have to remedy that.
I used Mike's unscented soap for the first time today. I can't usually tell much differences in how my unscented soaps feel when I apply them. I mean, they all feel the same, basically.
But the Mike's felt almost luxurious when I brushed it on, after lathering it in my CaYuen bowl. When I make my lather, each batch looks the same... or I should say, that's what I do... whip it up with the brush I've selected until it looks "right". The Mike's looked just like every other lather... nothing special, but right.
It sure felt amazing and the shave was excellent. It's hard to be sure since I was using a new base plate for the RR SuperSlant: the L1++OC for the first time. I'll use Mike's a few times in a row with razors I know better and see if I feel the slight improvement I thought I felt today. I'm not talking night and day differences. Canada Shaving Soap is my standard. I measure other soaps against it. Mike's sure felt more luxurious and, perhaps, more slick. It sure was interesting. I didn't expect that, even though Jim / @Chan Eil Whiskers said it's one of his favorite soap bases.
This made me think "I NEED Mike's Unscented."Kim, that's how I see Canada and Mike's. Same as you.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Oh no! The tub is empty! With 12 other brands of unscented soap still in the drawer, I am trying to resist the urge to replace this one.
And Jim @Chan Eil Whiskers, when i finished the Mike's Unscented last month, I felt the same urge to replace it! Glad you are enjoying it, too.
Dear members of this thread... what do you think about this comparison - Unscented Shave Soap Competition - Sharpologist - https://sharpologist.com/unscented-shave-soap-competition/ ... what do you think the ranking could look like in 2024 (2 years after the "competition" for unscented soaps)? Since then, many recipes have been added...
