Thread: The Art of Shaving products

I was wondering if the product line from The Art of Shaving is worth $100. They also sell a Thiers-Issar straight razor. Could anyone tell me about their experience with these? I'm the type of person who won't buy anything that's at the front of a shelf, if you know what I mean, so I am reluctant to buy a used straight razor. Thanks ahead of time!

Honestly i have the sandlewood shaving cream and its nothing to write home about, it lathers good, but for that amount of money you can get way better stuff(IMO) and that goes for razors too there, although Ive heard good stuff about there pre-shave but again its pricey

Thewatermark,

I disagree about the AOS Sandalwood shave cream, imho there's isn't much better with true EO out there as far as lather-ability and moisturizing quality.

I think they do a good job with soaps and creams.

I had the 100 package someone gave it to me as a gift, and it was one of the first trust shave items I got nearly 4 years ago, it was well used on my end.

sincerely,
David

I guess what i meant to say is its all in who u ask, i know a lot of people that love AOS stuff and swear buy it, so much that i went out and bought some and i like the sandlewood cream( the smell is great and the lather is good too) it did leave me kinda dry and the price was not inviting for what it did. But Alraz's "the bomb" is the same price and blows doors off the AOS stuff, but again the thing i love about this forum is its just my opinion, in the end whatever you like to shave with is great!

I haven't purchased Al's stuff, I have spoken to him about it, but his is pricier at 25 bucks. I heard its very good but then again I'm a finicky cat, I hated Castle Forbes and sold it, it didn't lather worth a crap for me.

I agree we all have opinions, bang for the buck, MWF is the shit 11 bucks for a puck it lasts a long time, and its amazing at moisturizing, you don't even need ASB.

I enjoy the sandalwood soap from AOS. It is pricey, but its one of those things that are just worth the money IMO because I enjoy it each time I use it.
