Thread: A Wonderful Start to 2013

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to post an update of my latest progress. I started sr shaving about 2 weeks ago. I shave everyday because it is a requirement for my job. I have improved tremendously thanks to the help of everyone on this forum. Improved approach angle, a much better lather, strectching/flattening my skin and mapping my beard were definetely the most important factors for me thus far.

My only concern is that I have been using Col Conk Almond shaving soap and I am not overly fond of the smell. Could someone recommend a good shaving soap vendor?

Thanks

You won't go wrong if you order
a puck of Mitchell's Woolfat from
one of the above mentioned vendors.

Others to consider are Tabac, Institut Karite
and DR Harris as all are superb.

Totally agree with Terry. I just got a puck of M'S Woolfat and that thing is amazing. I was using a puck from TAOS and that doesn't lather as well.

I love Mamma Bear Soaps. I think you will too as she has so many scents and the lather is incredible. Depending on what kind of smells you like i would have some reccommendations for you. Dont over Looks SRD's like of glycerine soap. They have an excellent selection, including opus X which is a tobacco EO soap and a sandelwood thats to die for. If you like cooling, menthol try Mamma Bears Awakenings. That stuff is like getting slapped in the face by an iceberg!
