Worst Wet Shaving Product You’ve Ever Bought?

So you've used Derby blades too [emoji6]
Lol some people swear by those damn derby blades. I’m the type of guy that finds one blade and sticks with it. I used astra for the first few years DE shaving. Than Switched to Gillette 7 o’clock greens for about 2 years, now I’m jumping to Gillette silver blues to give them a try. The greens work good except about 2 weeks ago I used the same Gillette O’clock green blade for either 2 or 3 shaves in a row (can’t remember) and got razor burn galore on my mustache. Hurt like hell. So I decided it was time for a change.
 
Lightfoot's Pine shaving soap, it is not a shaving soap nor did it lather well as a shower soap. It is a true abomination!

When I used a DE my go to blade were the GSB. I've only used a SE razor for the past couple years and my go to are the Feather Pros. Blades are so YMMV however the Derby were the worst I ever used.
 
I was a young and inexperienced newbie. Void of any knowledgable or useful experience, a true novice, a sucker, a mark, a chump, a patsy, a stooge...Bulldog Shaving Gel!
 
$1 TTO razor from the dollar store. I was not expecting much and it delivered.

Every other product has been okay. Even something like Cremo Cream which I did not enjoy using, was a capable shave cream.
 
Floid Amber 400ml. The smell lingered for 24 hours - it was overpowering. Put the bottle on a shelf for about 5 years. Then I diluted some of it with witch-hazel in a small bottle. It was bearable. Now I notice that the Floid must have gone bad since it mostly smells like alcohol.

I was going to say Derby and Dr Bonner (although I do like their regular soap). I think the only way Derby stays in business is that they're one of the few that sells half blades for barbers' straights.

I do know what you mean even though I like Floid. Pretty much all the Pinaud products do that to me. I like them for the first few hours and then I can't wait to wash them off.
