If it's with the new non-tallow Erasmic, it's not your fault. That stuff is pretty garbage and even the older Erasmic wasn't that great.

Thanks... That's good to know!

I like the premise of the shave stick, but based on this one, I've been hesitant to try others.

Have a great Tuesday guys .

Great looking kit. The pic is good too, at least the right-hand side of it is... :

Maybe we should change your nickname to the con artist, because that explains how you convinced Liza to marry you... Seriously, great pic!

Ain't that the truth?

Con artist? I don't know...sounds deliberate. I am still trying to figure out what on earth she saw in me when she said "I do" ?! But, Oh well...I have the signed contract (by the city, priest and witnesses) saying that she did...if she ever questions it, I'll just show her the signed paper .

Thanks buddy...looks like you survived another day

Speick is my favorite. It's incredible soap, especially considering the price.

You could also try tallow Palmolive. Works great and it's cheap from connaughtshaving.

Arko is good, too, and also dirt cheap.

Last option I've tried is getting an empty shave stick twist up tube from Mama Bear and grating and pressing my own soap into it.
