Hi Guys,
I'm new to the website, I'm impressed!
I've been straight razor shaving for 47yrs. Use
D.R.Harris soap, almond. Own a dog who thinks
he owns me. Live in Ohio. Any feed back on Van
Der Hagen deluxe soap would be appreciated. It
caused my face to hive up.

Keep on keeping on

Welcome aboard! I've been at it for a whopping 3 months, and I've learned a ton from the folks here.

I have 3 dogs-- 2 ex racing greyhounds, and a corgi...

Please post pictures of your razors...

Welcome. It's always good to see more experience coming in.

As far as the VDH, there's not a lot I can say because I've never used their stuff. I can tell you that I've seen a lot of folks around here say good things, but at the end of the day, if it makes you break out, it's time to bin it.

You might try Colleen's soaps from The Gentlemen's Quarter - Shaving, Bath and Body, Skincare, Home Fragrance, Brushes, Creams, Soaps

I haven't wanted to use anything else since I first tried them, and they're some of the most popular soaps around here.

welcome to srp

why switch to vdh? i thought harris is very good, although i haven't been experimenting with the english stuff.
i have a puch of vdh and it's still in the box, but it's a mass product and should not be causing any reactions.
i do like colleen's soaps a lot, give them a try.

I've been using D.R.Harris almond for years. Walmart sells VHD for $1.54,
D.R.Harris is $13.99 for refills. So much for going on the cheap. Then again,
what if VHD is made in China?

Keep on keeping on.

As others have said, welcome to SRP. Like you, I had issues with VDH when I first started not so long ago. While I did not get hives, my face had an odd buring feeling that I do not get generally with other products, including Harris. With so many out there, I discarded the puck of VDH and went about exploring the "good stuff"

Enjoy,

Joe

Although I'm new, I thought I'd say welcome aboard.

Welcome to SRP!

Given that a puck of soap will last several months, I would always go for the best quality available.

Regards,
Robin
