    Question

    I've been using a brush for so long ,I just can't imagine any other way now,but........Back in the day when I was all into skinning my top knot,I used to use a calming oil put out by Evita/Bare essentials which is a Denver based company only as far as I know. I'm sure there are such similar products out there. Probably not much help though. I might venture a guess and recommend going to a Sally Beauty supply shop (If one is nearby) which also has some mens grooming products.They might have something along what your searching for? Good luck

    can't really say i'm searching.. i simply used the alba shave product cause it was there and itching my curiousity.. i have to say.. my face still feels very moist.. the faceturbating is very slick.. i love the way my face feels.

    the reason this stuff is in the house is cause my charge uses it.. otherwise.. i don't know if i'd buy it.. it was kinda a hastle to rinse off my de.. and the scent was too bubblegum pop for me.. but my face feels great. i'm just wondering what else is out there.. i doubt i'll spend money on any of it.. i'd rather buy a nice triple milled soap.

    I,m right with ya there on the triple milled soap.Have you tried SRD's custom soaps yet? They are awesome ! The West Indies Bay is sureall. It really tingles. The Lime is intoxicating. They really do a bang up job.They have a tobbaco scent that I'm very curious about ? It's supposed to be very special indeed. Gee...I'm curious what women must equate in their world as to being close to Straight shaving ? Not trying to be catty to'em...just wondering?? It's good to be a guy eh ..

    Just for fun last week, I tried a DE shave with the handsoap in the bathroom! I put a good dad in my hand, just like going to wash your hands, then rubbed it into my beard and went at it with the DE.

    It was a suprisingly good shave actually, good and close and no pulling or irritation. The hand soap provided good glide and the only problem I encountered was a slight tendancy for the soap to dry out a bit towards the end of the shave.

    It definately works in a pinch or if you're really pressed for time.

    Question

    What particular brand was it? Seems I tried that once years ago, but the soap I used was kinda generic and really dried the heck outta my face.

    i also get great shaves with dr. bronners liquid soap... i've used the almond scent for years and love it.. i does dry fast and you pretty much have to cake it on.. but it does do a damn fine job and it produces a dfs

    as for now i'm saving my money for a puck of mwf and i also wish to finally try the bomb. i know for sure i want calypso and goodfellas... but also.. which scent is recommended for someone who enjoys almond?

    i think it's either getting their hair done at a nice salon or the mani/pedi.. all the women i know seem to have their blood circulating full force on salon day.

    I,ve heard good things about MWF.Someday I'm gonna shell out the dough for some. I can only wonder as to how nice it must've been back when the Straight was king and all these kinds of products were commonplace. and probably cheap for their time. I wonder what was considered the generic blade back then as well ?

    i also wonder the same thing.. take a look at some of the early sears catalogs.. they were selling straights by the dozen.

    It was a lavendar soap that SWMBO got from Space:NK. Its a pretty good soap TBH, but still not up to the standard of Trumpers or MWF.
