Thread: Shaving cream or soap?

I just got some of Colleen's shaving cream. I got the Orange Patchouli and the BayRum w/Sweet Orange. She also sent me samples of the matching aftershaves she is working on. They are just wonderful. I love the smell of both of them. The aftershaves I thought had a bit too much orange in them at first, but that was only on the initial application. They are just what I like. They are not too strong and over powering. They melow out after the sting of the alchohol wears off. My wife is pregnant and strong smells of anything make her want to barf. I could not go in the same room after I shaved using my crap aftershave. She loved the smell of Colleen's cream and aftershave, and she almost had to be right on top of me to smell them. My wife owns/operates an little store selling candles, crafts, antique hand-painted furnature, and other girly girly things. She sent Colleen an email wondering if she made womens bath products to start carrying them in her store. They are that good.

I sent Colleen an e-mail.

I've found with several soaps that seem to give poor lather, that if you add a drop of conditioner it makes a world of difference (a tip I got on here).

Also, after you've charged your brush with hot water, press it firmly into the soap, and while swirling vigorously slowly extract the brush. This works the lather faster Plus pulls the lather into the brush (a tip from a video that was mentioned on the yahoo forum for SRP).
