Thread: Classic Shaving brand soap , not for me

Look in the vender room for "Colleen's Soap" She makes the stuff and I think she puts stuff that addicts people to it Really it's the best stuff I have tried, not that I have tried many but it is still tops.

Thanks D-C , I think I'll try some .

I have used classic shavings soap and had no problem at all. although I do love soap from tgq and mama bears soaps.

Well , judging from the responses , I think the CS soap just doesn't agree my skin . I shaved with it , 3 or 4 times and it was irritating my face so bad , I threw it away and went back to the soap I was using , before .

I have used 3 different Classic soaps and the least favorite was Sandalwood (I liked the fragrance but the lather was very light and billowy, not good lather) I like their Coconut Lime pretty well but have come to the conclusion that their lather leaves a lot to be desired (slight burning sensation and they have a short life, too). I have heard nice things about Mama Bears - I hope they're right, I have my first order coming soon!

I believe their soaps are very good but decieving when building the lather. I believe they have a higher amount of lather producing agents than usual.

I find you get plenty of volume at first causing most to stop whisking on the soap. When this premature decision to stop whisking on the soap probably causes people to think the proper amount of soap is in the brush. Keep whisking.

I started a thread a couple of months back on this. Since the input I realized that thr soap ratio needed to be increased.

Please give it a whirl w extra whisking on the soap prior to final judgement. I almost sold this short. I'm glad I didn't as it is now one of my favorite brands.

Ray DuPont would never knowingly sponsor a sub standard product.

Another point made regarding the bay rum scent burning. A member posted a year or two ago that the properties of Bay Rum can be very irritating agent on the skin.

Good luck

I get great lather with classic soaps, I find them to be very good. The first soap I used was classic and it did take me a long time to get these results, I feel that I was better off starting with classic as I learnt how to lather with them. Had I come to them aafter using another product i would probably not have been as impressed as I am now.

Hi,
Just tried my first shave with Classic brand shaving soap (almond). I didn't have any problem at all. Perhaps I used a little more water and whipped it more with the brush, but the smell and lather were wonderful.
I will not hesitate to order more.

Thanks for all the replies . I've gone back to the soap I get from Wallgreen's for now . It works well for me and the price is right , although the price of soap (within reason) is not an issue . Unfortunetly , the CS bay rum soap was tearing my face up .
