Thread: No wonder I dumped Trumper soap

Waste not...Want not

A Journey to Naught

Before I decided to chuck the puck one more attempt (well 2) was made.

1. Nuked the bowl for ten seconds and popped the puck into my hand.
2. Let the puck rest for a few minutes and then grated.
3. Pressed the gratings into a wide mouth mug.

BTW, we have softened water.

Day One

Did my normal face prep and loaded a silvertip brush. As I started to face lather I noticed pieces of soap in the brush and on my face. Note to self, repress the soap before trying again. I got a good bit of lather but it was light and burned my face. I think I had overloaded the soap even thought I repeatedly dipped the brush in water. I managed to shave but without much cushion. My face burned all day even after repeated lotion applications.

I added water and repressed the gratings.

Day Two

Decided to do a test face lather. I got tons of lather. However, the lather was light and airy. After a lot of swirling and water additions, the lather looked good. Rinsed this off and proceeded to bowl lather.

Reloaded the brush and started whipping up the lather. After, IMO, an extended amount of time I had a lather that looked good and did not dry. I now hoped for the best and started to shave.

Well, there was no cushion whatsoever. Reminded me of some Hunslinger (?sp) soap I have used.

I shaved with very poor results. My beard looked like I had not shaved for about 12 hours. Bummer.

So, I am done with the Trump.

I will try to melt the remains into a bar and let the Swiss Miss use it on her legs. Should our members in S.E. Wisconsin read of my murder you will know how that worked for me.
