The Great 2018 Mystery Soap Review
Attachment 295648
Ever wonder how someone would describe you if they interacted with you but never knew your name or history? Me too! Ever wonder how you’d interact with a shaving product if you knew nothing about it? Right? It’s especially bad for me because I can get really caught up in packaging and propaganda. The propaganda alone can keep me going for weeks before I discover something sucks lol!
And herein lies the magic of the Mystery Soap Review. Nothing sexy, no names, just a man and his samples - and an honest review.

And that man, the man giving us the blind reviews is a dude who I know will give me his honest take. A dude who has good taste in spite of the fact that it doesn’t always agree with mine. Maybe because it doesn’t always agree with mine -
Mark aka Speedster. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say Mark!
How It Works: Mark will give his take on a sample, i’ll In turn reveal what that sample was and give my take,
then YOU’LL give us your input and we’ll reach consensus.
It’s quite reviling, and fun.
Subscribe now by telling us what you think, how this can be improved, and who you’re going to do this with in the future lol!!
Super Fantastic 2018 Mystery Soap Sample #7 -- The Review! ;)
Okay, here I am fellas! Finally got around to shaving some 5d+ growth with my Oakwing G and mystery soap #7. I just grabbed the baggie resting on top of the other samples in no particular order.
Scent was mildly cherry with almond possibly. A lovely, soapy scent! This stuff quickly built up into an airy lather using a GP20 scuttle and fairly hard, natural aquifer water (hell on espresso machines). Performed my typical 2-pass shave with some touch-ups and cleaning up my neckline. Glide, cushion, and post-shave feel were excellent.
However, I did feel a very slight burn through my moustache area during and after the 2nd pass. I'm always mixing up razors and soaps anyways, so the issue could have resulted from operator error as easily as the soap. No biggie. A great feeling face otherwise and a very close, comfortable shave.
Enough #7 remains for another test drive with perhaps a different razor...say once I've played with the remaining 6 soap samples. :)
