Shannon's Soaps

[donaldjr1969]

Has anybody had any experiences with Shannon's Soaps? It is just recently that I noticed them being carried by Straight Razor Designs. Since I am in NE Ohio and the soaps are from Cleveland, I'd love to support a local establishment for my shaving needs, much like I support SRD for my supplies.

I specifically am interested in the Valley Parkway scent. I have driven that very road end to end many times over the past 27 years.

So, how would you rate Shannon's Soaps?

I do plan to order some in a few weeks. But my SR shaving experiences are limited to just a few soaps and creams. I've only used MWF, TOBS soap and cream, Esbjerg cream, and some stuff as part of a gift set from Amazon by The Shaving Factory. And the latter I think is repackaged Derby soap. So...I have somewhat limited experiences compared to our SR veterans here.

Shannon's soaps are excellent soaps. They are easy to lather, and produce a thick, creamy lather with plenty of cushion and glide, and they have a very nice post shave feel. I have only used Silk Pajamas and Woodlands and enjoy both scents. I have no idea about Valley Parkway scent, but since they are a quality product, I expect that you'd enjoy it since you are from Ohio. Shannon's bath soaps are also terrific. Shannon and her husband provide excellent customer service.

I have a tub from last years meet.
Its a great soap, I just don't care much for tropical, fruity, scents that much. (City of champions)
But I do like their (Woodland Frost) scent
Lots of cushion.
Very thick lather.
Great post shave.
All natural ingredients.

If you don't mind tropical scent, I'd be more than happy to send ya some.
Just PM me your Addi, or we can just meet sometime
