Thread: Burma shave soap

Picked one up today for under $2. Mostly because I was very satisfied (unexpectedly) with the Burma brush I got last week. Scent was discreet out of the box, which is OK for some cases / moods. Cake is small but so what...

Decided to lather up with the Burma shave brush. In all fairness, it took more work to build the lather in my bowl than high-er end soaps and foam was a bit airy. Added more soap and some water and foam improved. Going on the face FELT REALLY NICE! No tingle whatsoever for my sensitive skin, which was a BIG PLUS for me. Scent was still nice. Very mild, gentle experience overall.

One *issue* - lubricity was not what I get from Tabac, QED, Crabtree & Evelyn. It was not bad, it was just worse.

Conclusion: this one shall be included in my rotation

It's been quite a while since I used BurmaShave soap. I picked up one for $1.69 at Albertson's grocery today. I can't remember how it compares with Williams, but you certainly can't argue with the price.
