    Default Classic Shaving Shaving Mug Soap

    For anybody who has used the CS soaps, how long did they last?

    I had a citrus spice that I liked a lot, but it only lasted for about 20 to 30 shaves. They weren't overly thick either, but I'm blaming method and water quality for that.

    How long do other soaps last?
    Are there any good handmade ones on eBay?

    I don't know how long a puck will last because I switched away from mine, although it did seem to be going pretty fast when I was using it. I had a puck of the lavendar, but once I got my hands on some TGQ soap there was no going back. CS soap had weak lather for me as well. I took it out of my mug and put it in a bag for emergency use, but I hope it won't come to that.

    Classic soap was also a dissapointment for me. I gave up on the sandalwood and used it in the shower. The almond I lather with some KMF unscented cream to make it useable because I love the scent of it.

    Honeybee Spa soaps are very good and super cheap if you get a sampler:

    I've also heard good things about this vendor but haven't tried them yet. Same deal with the sampler:

    Well I have 3 pucks in rotation right now (Williams, Van der Hagen(sp?), and Coleen's) and I don't expect them to run out for another 3 months...at the rate they're going now.

    But, of course, that doesn't mean that I won't be buying other soaps in the meantime!

    I've not tried CS's soaps yet.

    I can't say enough about Colleen's Cavendish Black. I love the lather and the scent. I figure I'll be using it as long as she sells shaving soap! I'm spoiled. TGQ'a website is interesting and easy to navigate. And Colleen is a Super Lady.
    I have a lot of other shaving soaps in packages on the shelf. They are gathering dust. Since I discovered Cavendish Black, I've not used any other. All the soap that's just lyng there, is 'designer' soap. I quit Williams and Colgate years ago.

    Colleen's soap lasts well, too!

    TGQ...TWO thumbs up!
