Thread: Worst shaving soap I have tried yet

I bought this on eBay a while back to try and it is horrible.
The lather does not stay very long and it is not very slick.
I threw it in the garbage today as it is pretty much worthless for straight razor shaving.

Bummer! If I get a bad shave soap, it turns into a bath soap, unless it smells bad

It happened to me too. I tried a bay rum AS and loved it, but their jarred cream was a total failure.

That's the risk you take with artisan/homemade products, most tend to be horrible.

The last time I tried amateur soap was a few years ago, a guy was handing out samples at a get together. The lather wouldn't even last for 20 seconds let alone one full pass, and it smelled horrible to boot. That one bypassed the shower and went straight into the garbage. The funny thing is the guy asked for honest feedback and I would have obliged but he failed to leave any contact info lol

The worst soap for me was bald frog, but a yr later and more experience I'm 100% sure it was my lather technique

W.M. Neumann bay rum. The lather was thin and broke down into nothing after a minute. Funny thing is that their 1911 soap is quite nice without those problems.

Mystic Water. Great scents, but I'm convinced it's bath soap masquerading as shave soap, the lather is anemic.

I was hoping the soap would be good as it is made by a military wife and I like to support them when I can.

Ditto. The first soaps I got were off of ebay and were awful. Could barely get it to lather and it didn't stay very long. Fortunately the seller had a money back guaranty so I took her up on it.

I got some artisan soap that's good. It'll last a pass, better yet you can lather up, go strop your razor come back and still last the pass with just the right amount of slip. If you'd like to sample it just let me know.
