    I find the Oleo’s to be a sort of lighter version of the Wholly Kaw. Not a watered down version, just one that’s less in your face and not as thick. Thick enough though.

    It’s just interesting using them back-to-back.
    I wanted to like Oleo. They are in my backyard, local to me. But it was a lousy shave. The lather looked ok. Not awesome but ok. But the post was telling. It was not Clubman Friday after that. I try one new soap about once a year. I’m kind of due but might need more convincing.

    If you do one soap a year, do something exotic:

    Eh, is it better? The packaging is nice. But I find cheap ass Arko to beat the pants off of most soaps. So is it better than WK?

    Oh I don’t know lol. It’s exotic is all. I’ll be buying some one day. Was hoping you’d buy it, hate it, then sell it to me for $10 lol!

    If you would have told me ten years ago I’d be willingly paying $20 for shaving cream I would have called you crazy. At least I have the sense to balk at $63.

    More and more, yes. But shaving soap is not quite the same product with its inputs as unpredictable and individually special as wine. And if I drank $63 dollar bottles of wine as frequently as I shave, that would be......well, nice.

    $63! Lol. No. I’m not taking a chance on that. I have no reason to think it’s better than my go to at a third of the price.
