Vulfix+TGN : Henckels Friodur 5/8 : Gibbs SS : Myrsol rojo ASL

The brush habe been made by a member of afeitadoclasico.com, a great brush to use with sticks. The same person gave to me the vintage Gibbs stick. Thanks zompo

I have honed the Friodur yesterday, and the razor have performed a great shave.

Hey Jose, what is that Gibbs soap like? Is it a tallow soap? How does it shave? The box has quite a retro look to it, is it still being made?

Hey Jose, what is that Gibbs soap like? Is it a tallow soap? How does it shave? The box has quite a retro look to it, is it still being made?

I don't know the exact ingredients, it's a vintage soap, The paper that comes into the box , in perfec german that I don't understand, says that it have castor oil, and "cod cream" ....The lather is very thick and comfortable, better than La Toja or Speick but the scent have dissapeared.

It's no longer available for sale, I have mine as a gift from a friend. I think it's made in Germany, in Munich. The box have 2 addresses for the brand: one in Paris and the other in Munich.

I think that there are a lot of modern soaps that you can buy before this vintage soap, it is very very old, it looks really ugly.


These pics are from the person who bought the soaps

My advice: go for Irisch Moss, Valobra, Speick, Palmolive or La Toja, they give great lather and they are easier to find
