This is my first post, I have been learning quite alot here. Thanks to you all.
lI have just purchased a straight razor and I finally think I can get a decent shave w/ it. I will be trying different shave soaps and creams but, why not use some of the normal face and glyceryn soaps out there. Is there a diference between shaving specific soaps and these?
the regular face soaps generally do not provide good lubrication.
nothing wrong to try and see for yourself - it may work well for you.
The glide, shave soaps are designed around letting the razor glide along the face....
welcome to srp. i tried to shve with some irish spring last week because i was running low an s.s it not work well at all the lather was terrible the blade stuck to my cheek and my face had the same smell as my armpits :rofl2: buy some good soap from colleen or mama bear the ladies love the smell of a good shave soap and your face will thank you
Not to hijack the thread but I've been using Tabac (which I love), the only other soap I have used was Col. Conk which is good but it's not Tabac. What testimonials can I get on Proraso (soap), I've heard it's kind of gummy. Some people love it, others aren't impressed...
From a one month guy to another newbie the shave soap is like comparing apples and oranges as far as working well. Shave soap is so much better there is no comparison.
A good strop is a big must also.
