Thread: Favourite Soap At The Moment.

I having been using MdC and am amazed at how little I have used thus far. It is an amazing soap. It is expensive and shipping is expensive but I will last a long time and it is truly a wonderful soap

I've been using Col Conk's bay rum as my daily "go to" that I do really like. I received 3 others in the sample pack but haven't had a chance to try them. I am also using "C&E" Nomad occasionally. I am a bit challenged building a lather in the wooden bowl without it cascading everywhere. I know this is contributing to the drying affect. I can't lather my whole face without it really dragging on the razor. If I wet my hand and run it over the lather it helps but....... To be fair I should cut it out of the bowl and put it in my mug so I can whip it like it should be. I do love the scent so I haven't given up on it yet.
One thing I have noticed about myself. Now that I'm wet shaving with soaps, I'm not near as happy with any cream products. Go figure

I've got 4 soaps in the Shave Den but the 'Go To' stays the same:
- Mitchell's Wool Fat.

The others that I will use from time to time, and make no mistake, I find them to be Awesome as Well, are:
- Tabac
- D.R. Harris' Arlinton
- Cella

I just used the Maggard Lime and Bergamot for the second time in 2 days and just love the scent and the shave it provides. I don't just mean I like it...I LOVE IT!

De Vergulde Hand, MWF, Cold River, BSBC and Maggards

SRD's Bulgarian Rose rules as does MDC.

Thanks for all the responses fellas, thats certainly gave me plenty of ammunition for the shaving shopping supply shopping list,haha. Just thinking there that we are a bunch of guys that put very sharp knives to our necks every day, talking about soaps and how nice they smell, lols, quite the dichotomy. Better butch it up a bit incase any of the wives have a look at our posts and think wer going soft, lols.................

Aye so am lookin for some shaving soap that smells like gasoline or diesel, maybe engine oil, any you boys got any ideas, hit me up If you get a minute on the ad break of the football / ufc / nascar. lols

Thanks again fellas. Your info and input is as always very much appreciated.

I'm a synthetic fan, just doesn't break down when the razor is traveling so fast. I'm thinking that I start with 5-15 Mobile One. I can get a few more miles between changes. A little glycerin added to dino oil does help relieve the drag....... I can remember wearing 90 wt trail side in my 4 wheelin' days. Oh the scent of it, manly compared to our soaps and potions. OK, time to leave the shop talk and back to talking about dangerous habits. Sharp steel to skin.......
still sounds manly to me!

It is amazing. I bet I shaved 10 times just using the MdC soap stuck to the jar lid. 8 light swirls with a good brush and you are good to go with MdC.

The MdC website says a jar should last a year if you leave the lid off and allow the soap to dry. This is probably good advice for anyone using MdC everyday, but with a rotation of 12 soaps I have started leaving the lid on to prevent excessive drying. YMMV
