Tried some locally made soap

[CrackFerr]

It's called Baby Face by Tabloid, LLC (a local barber where I live).

I'm usually a tallow guy, but this is a very good, inexpensive, simple glycerine based soap with a slight lilac scent.

Good shave, and I'm a tabac man, so it's hard to please me =o)

They sell it on ebay, but I live close to the barber so I just grabbed it there.
It's very clean, doesn't clog my DE razor at all, so it's great for blade life.

I searched on eBay for Baby Face shave soap and came up with nothing. A search for an eBay seller tabloid only found an inactive seller from Italy. Any more info? If there's an eBay buy it now, a link can be posted.

This is the salon: http://www.tabloidsalon.com

Owner (Tom) is a pretty cool dude, gave me the best haircut I've ever had and he is very experienced in the art of shaving, been doing it 20+ years.

He's got some other products, too (shave lotion, hair stuff, etc..) Maybe I should tell him to advertise here on B&B

There is a red link to the right on their home page that usually links to their ebay store, but it's not working right now. It was literally up yesterday.

You could call/email the shop and I'm sure they can help you order it.
Really cool place...they have a full band/recording studio in back and they do that between cuts, I swear LOL

The babyface soap is light, lathers easily, rinses easily, and is great to have in the rotation when you want a less, dare I say, "greasy" shave, but still plenty slippery.
Lilac scent is subtle.

You got very lucky, as the vast majority of the so called shaving soaps sold on the Bay are total garbage.

The site is just slow, they have a few on ebay now.
Oddly they call it a lather rather than a soap or cream.


I sent an email for an ingredient list.

Here you go-

Babyface is a high quality
glycerin soap with lilac fragrance. The
ingredients are: Propylene Glycol, Sorbitol,
Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate,
Triethanolamine, Water, Titanium Dioxide, Lilac
essential oil, color.

If you were reading, you'd have noted that I didn't buy it on ebay....I visited the barbershop in person and sampled the product

I see they offer shaves. Have you tried theirs yet?

From the ingredient list it looks like it may be essentially a floral-scented VDH.
