Thread: Art of Shaving: A++++++

Yeah man, AOS is pretty good, i have the sandlewood and its great, what soap r u using for the uberlather?

I was using the basic Van Der Haven soap, but then I moved to the Mitchell's wool fat soap. great stuff.

one of my friends recomended I try out the AOS so I got a few sample packs and gave them a try. It is good but not great personally for that high of price I'll stay with CF or Alraz's the bomb. I do want to try out there soap though.

Ahhh nice on the Mitchells, u should get Alraz "the Bomb" stuff is uberlather in a container, great stuff also Mama Bears soaps r great and very cost effective

Have you used the van der hagen stuff? not bad for a cheap soap.

My feelings exactly. Compared to the a number of other lime scented creams (search for "the big lime shoot out" here for the consolidated review), AOS did not perform well enough to justify the price. It is good but not outstanding (like Castle Forbes).

Another lime scented product I quite liked is SRD's lime soap. Completely different performance, but an interesting interpretation of lime.

Salazch: No problem, you are very welcome.

Also I can highly recommen "Geo F. Trumpers coconut cream" for lather - its superb.

I have some True Fitt & Hill shaving cream on the way, I am exited to try that out.

I really dont consider this stuff to be pricy, given the amount and quality of lather it produces.

Yeah AOS is nice. I still don't have a brush and it still does the job just fine.

AOS introduced me to a better way of shaving as it has with many of us. Best product ? Debatable Quality product ? Yes
