I haven't tried Marvey's soap so I can't comment on it , but maybe someone reading this thread has used it , and will give thier opinion . If you're nicking yourself in the same area of your face when you shave , I think there is a flaw in your technique in that particular area . Pay close attention to what you are doing when you shave that area , and see if you can figure out why you are getting nicked . Keep your blade angle low and go slow . Every shave will be a little bit better than the last one .
