What is your "go to" soap after getting a bad shave?

[DEsword]

From the post, I can see a trend forming; lanonin containing soaps seem to be the most preferred when it comes to face protection.

As of now the most mentioned soaps are the following:

MWF
Haslinger Schafmilch
Mikes natural soaps
Barrister & mann
Cold river works
Shannons soaps

All of them contain lanolin.

Good observation. Add Stirling to the list of lanolin containing soaps as well.

The best soap I have found is Billy Goat Scruff by NuLuv. I recommend you Google it and get a jar, you won't be sorry.

True. Will update the post. Stirling has been mentiones various times on this topic.

Toss up between Reef Point and Shaver Heaven soaps. These two are righteous suds.

Pre de Provence, but Cella is quickly climbing up the latter!

 

[Cl3anShav3]

Mystic Waters Sensitive Skin. So rich! So creamy! It will show your skin some tlc.

Huh? I haven't had a bad shave in years. I can tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday...

 

[Verity]

Any Barrister & Mann soap, Its goof proof for me.

Same with me. I get a good shave even if my lather that day is less than perfect.

 

[Kyrlos]

Mystic Water Jeff's Lavender

 

[Pigpen]

Tabac would be my first choice, followed closely by Proraso green in the tub..

 

[JoeG]

Institute Karite. Shea butter works well with my face. Pre de provence is another one.

 

[Graybeard57]

Anything by Mike's.

 

[molon_labe]

Stirling Naked & Smooth.

 

[DE4L]

Obviously time off is your best bet but if you must shave then TOBS avocado "cream" is great Rx

 

[Javelin]

Any Mike's or Stirling Port-Au-Prince.

 

[jackgoldman123]

short of taking a day or two off...TR Cardamom is a great idea, so is Barrister & Mann, ABC, Savon du bon Berger stick, LA Shaving, Al's, Wholly Kaw, CRSW.

Every once in a while I try something different - a new soap, cream, blade - and pay the price for it. Terrible shave, razor burn, etc. It takes me a couple of days to recover but since I need to shave every day for work, I use either Proraso red or a Stirling soap as my "recovery" soap.

Anyone else have this experience and if so, what's your go-to recovery soap?

Captain

Proraso Green tub or Cella.

 

[jjking54]

Arko is my baseline.

When I need to compare anything: I go back to Arko. It's the soap that always performs.

Same ... with the caveat, Arko while face lathering.

 

[ohyousooners]

Palmolive - always thick, rich, and consistent.

Proraso Blue. Used it today, and my prior shave (with Cella) was great. It is the most moisturizing of the Proraso line.
