Thread: Humbug I say.

Of the 40 some soaps I currently have I use the one I like the least as a pre-lather. I don't have to shave with it but it does eventually get used.

That 70 thing is only 13 months away. I feel your pain.

I settled my soaps down to MWF for summer, Tabac for winter.

I am also approaching 70, but it sounds like you might be a little closer. My wife is terrified that I might die before she does, leaving all of my straight razors, ham radio equipment, computers, tools, etc., etc. for her to disposition. My sole male heir is a son-in-law that shaves with an electric razor and has few interests outside of computers and maintaining his lawn.

However, our family histories indicate that I may well outlive my wife and that really terrifies me. I do not know what I would do without her.

I love it when people use the word humbug!

Gentlemen,

My wife shuffles into the shave den, scrutinizes the razors, brushes, soaps and creams and, shaking her head, says, "They grow like rabbits."

Soaps I don't like end up being used by wife and daughter...the ones they don't like the smell of they trash...the rest they say are lovely to use on legs and such...pucks get used quickly as shower soap...three pucks of Meisner Treb went down the drain that way....:-)

I guess this falls under the "YMMV" concept.

I have only tried maybe 12 or 15 different soaps and creams, but for me, Meissner T has been my favorite. Great scent (dark lime), really easy to achieve a great lather.

My two favourite and best soaps. Is there any particular reason you prefer Tabac in the winter?
