First let me start by stating I've been straight shaving for around two months, I started out with my Great Grandfather's old Avon shave soap. I couldn't get it to lather up for anything. Since then I've tried Col Conk and Mamma Bear shave soap samples, I liked the Momma Bear but I wasn't too fond of the scent. So I picked up a puck of VDH Deluxe in a pinch it try because it was cheap. This is great stuff for a beginner. It lathers up like a dream, and has tons of glide. The smell is nearly nonexistent, so when I when melted it into my old shave mug I added a few drops of my favorite aftershave, and now I love the stuff. I think I'll stop hunting and stick with it untill Colleen gets back on line, I've been dieing to try some of her's. Hope this helps y'all.
