Well, it's been about a month since my last post and I switched to VDH and also got a horsehair brush #7 from bestshave.net.

The horse hair brush lathers like a dream. I was going to take it back...

Thanks for your service. And I'm still using the WMS and really enjoying it. I keep telling myself I need to give the VDH a fair shake, but I keep grabbing the WMS anyway. I just like it.

You can pick up a VDH kit with bowl, soap, and brush in most pharmacy sections for around $12, and it's a good kit to start out with. The brush will lose a few hairs for the first several shaves,...

Yeah, the diving in to premium soaps might be a ways off, but it gives my wife/mom/mom-in-law something to consider for Christmas/Father's Day/Birthday. Though I'll have to resource them with...

FWIW: I've been using the WMS consistently over the past few days, and tonight it definitely lathered up easier. I haven't gone back to the VDH yet, but will try using it consistently and see how...

Thanks.

I'd be happy to watch your vid.

Believe me...I've watched many. I'll watch more though until I get consistently satisfying results. Tonight was the first happy experience, but I make no wagers on tomorrow's events.

So, I just shaved with William's Mug Soap. I re-iterate, I'm a doofus when it comes to making Lather. But here's my experience tonight:

First off, the smell. It DOES smell like citronella. You...

I'd never seen the stuff before, but then again, six weeks ago shave soap was not on my radar at all. I might have walked right past it and not noticed. (Then again, I don't shop at the place I...

I was out running errands this afternoon and spotted this next to the VDH soap in a HyVee grocery store.

I'm a doofus when it comes to lather. There's something of a mystery there that I just...
