What's your soap for today?

[Balj86]

Theres a long thread on "Whats your Brush for today...?". Don't know if it's been created for shaving soap, but it's worth a shot !

Today I used the almight "MWF!" What did you guys use?

SCS Orange Sorbet stick.... smells yummy!

 

[Balj86]

That sounds excellent and never tried to SCS. Need to at some point!

I used "Vanderspice". I bought several fragrance oils from a soap making supply company. I melt down the VDH and add whatever fragrance I am in the mood for. If I really like the fragrance I'll make 5 oz at a time. I don't think I'll make this size anymore though as it takes 5-6 months to use up. I use VDH because I like it better than the others I've tried. My wife is getting into soap making, so I'll probably make some from scratch after I learn which ingredients give the soap the properties I want. Sorry, this answer was way tooo long.....

Vintage Dubarry shaving stick from the 1930s. I'm starting to think that soap gets better with age, b/c this stuff is amazing.

Proraso because it's 100 out today. Tomorrow AOS Lemon.

As of 12:10AM today (just after midnight) finished using vintage Williams (Cranford, NJ). Will use a cream tonight, still undecided which one.

Proraso Ultra Sensitive. I'm nearing end of second month of DE shaving so it is my "control" soap I don't have "Ultra Sensitive" skin but I figured my skin might get pretty sensitive while I started out. The soap has been excellent for a beginner. I shower with my Tweezerman in a cup of hot water and a few drops of hot water on the soap waiting by the sink. Then I give the Tweezerman a little shake and start swirling the brush on the soap holding the brush at the base of the bristles for about 30 to 45 seconds. Then face lather. I get a great lather and could go as many passes as I would like. I actually have a nice AOS pure badger brush but haven't got that one mastered yet like the Tweezerman. Sorry to ramble but thought this might help a newbie as well

It won't be until tonight, but I'm thinking it will be the Klar Seifen Sport that just arrived. So far, I'm really enjoying the scent! (worth a few strange glances received from around the office...)

Haslinger coconut - starts lathering as the badger hairs touch the surface - it's that easy.

Because it is warm today I used TFS Freschezza "Polare"
