Thread: REQ: The Slickest Soap...

Copy that! I always put some water on the top of the puck before swirling the brush.

- Williams Mug soap = $0.99
- C&O Bigelow Shave Soap = $5.00
- Henry Cavendish - Himalaya = $14.95
I wasn't too concerned about wasting them away.

I believe I've found my favorite shaving soap of all time.

Henry Cavendish - "Himalaya"!!!

Now...I know I've only tried three others but this...This is the perfect soap for me.
Not only because of the most preciously perfect scent EVER!!...

I went to vegas for a work conference about 6 years ago and stayed at the NEW YORK NEW YORK Hotel. They had this lotion, soap and cologne set that came with the room and it smelled EXACTLY like Henry Cavendish - Himalaya. I'd asked them how much for a set of the items but they wouldn't sell them to me. I considered grabbing a bunch from housekeeping but thought better of it considering I was on government time. So I wound up using what I could get from my co-worker that traveled with me but I only had one tube of the lotion left over years after the event...longing for that scent and fearing using it all up. NOW I HAVE IT BACK!!!!
MWAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAA!!!!

...But because of the lubricative qualities the soap has and the absolute smoothness and longevity of the lather.
It's just perfect...I don't think I'll be trying or ordering anything else.
Slickest, sexiest smelling, smoothest, sustaining-est soap EVER!


(I've been sniffing the box it came in like an addict...)

Hmmm...I wonder if I can synthesize a body lotion from this soap....

If like like the smell and it works for you then don't get anything else. On the other hand f you don't ever do that you,ll never know what a really good soap is. Tc

so... any of you actually mix your soap with anything else like any kind of oil or anything else?

Not since I Found soaps that don't need help. If the soap is right it needs nothing but water and a brush. Tc

Before I discovered "Henry Cavendish - Himalaya", I had to put a few drops of coconut oil into my lather bowl with every shave.
That was when I was using "C&O Bigelow" and "Williams Mug Soap" to shave with.

But those days are over...Thankfully.
There's no substitute for quality.
