Classic Shave Wool Fat Soap
A couple weeks ago I posted a thread concerning the lathering ability of classic Shave wool fat soap. I was dissappointed with then. I tried it again this past Saturday night and was still dissappointed with the soaps performance. I tossed it in the trash but retrieved it when I considered what I paid for it. I decided to try it as a bath soap and boy was I pleased. Not bad and leaves a great fragrance. Tried it again this morning and was still quite pleased. It leaves a great fragrance in the bath for hours. I think I'll purchase more for showering.
Think about your brush and or water hardness
I had the same type of problem when I started wet shaving, and found two things, first I am using very very hard well water, to test yours go to your local hardware store, ask for a water hardness test kit, not very expensive and worth ever dime. when I found my water was hard I bought a gallon of distilled water at the local wally-world[Wal-Mart] and heated some in my microwave and got GREAT lather with it, with most all my soaps and creams. Also, using a badger brush, even one that not worth the price of a used Buick can work better then even a decent Boars bristle brush. Say a badger brush in the $25 to $35 range. That's my 2 cents any way.
have a great holiday and a merry Festivis!!
tinkersd of SRP!
I might have been hasty[not the pudding club]
After going on to Classic Shaving's site and seeing the price of the soap I would whole heartedly agree, for that price[$19.98} a shaver shouold expect a decent head of lather!!! Hard water or not. Straight Razor Designs makes some great shaving soap and its very well priced in my opinion, give one of thier ''flavors" a try and see if you like them.
As always, tinkersd of SRP
