    Oh, I like that soap. I remember the Avon stuff. We will have to put the soap in its own distinct category: Memory Lane.

    Tier 1 Soap, very, very rare, actually is very much like Scottish Fine Shaving Soap, and comes in a fancy package as well...

    Behold, vintage "The Kings Men Shave Bowl" Soap (threw a little Pinaud in there for you Hirlau!!)

    Hirlau and Phrank,

    Thanks for submitting these photos. This gave me the idea of starting another thread that highlights Rare and Memorable shave soaps. This should be a fun thread.

    Please go ahead and submit the posts and the photos of these unusual soaps in that thread. Thanks.

    Oh memory lane eh?

    My Uncle Chester swore by Octagon Brown Soap to shave with. Personally I wouldn't shave a skunk with it but it's memory lane alright.

    I'll bet Obie bathed in the stuff as a kid.

    Spendur, my friend, I sure did, and I spiked it with dragon spit, too. Tough guy, me.

    Now, you guys, let's get back on track with the thread — First Tier Soaps and Creams. OY!

    As much as I too would probably consider Trumpers Violet a top tier cream, I would not use it on many consecutive shaves with light hair natural brushes. I fear the dark purple dye could permanently stain the hairs. The 'violet' scent alone is just about worth the price of admission for a tub just to unthread the lid and take a whiff. It lets me cut as close or closer as any product I've tried. The post shave feel leaves something to be desired but the scent just about makes up for that.
