Thanked: 1195Plenty of good advice here already, but I'm thinking you'd have better luck with some qualiy soap. Shaving soaps are specially formulated for latherability, glide and cushion, so not any regular ol' soap will do. VDH is reputable, but isn't much higher than Williams in the scheme of things. I recommend Tabac, which is tallow based, very user friendly and is an incredible soap all around. Your face will thank you for it, too.

Thanked: 94Ok good soaps that are worth the money and last a while
1) Mitchell's wool fat 13$ lasts a year plus and easily my favorite soap
2) Mamma bears 8-13$ easy to lather slick good scent selection
3) Cella 9$ smells like sweet almonds and very sturdy slick lather
4) Proraso green 10$ phenomenal on a hot day tub lasts quite a while, idiot proof lather
So those are my top four readily available soaps that are worth every penny IMHO
Hope you find one you like!

Thanked: 6yea it seems like that mitchells wool fat sounds really good. seems silly to some but heres my layout for straight razor shaving, besides saving me money i love the old skool side of it. its almost lost art that is coming back . but i still love the very traditional smelling soaps and aftershaves. deff wont want any wierd fruity kinda soaps. i know mama bears stuff comes highly recomended but she only makes like 150 diff kinds so not exactly easy to know which are good and which are not. i think i need to get some of the mwf i think i would like it alot. the vdb that im using smells good and does ok i just think im lacking in the experiance department for building a really good lather which i dont get. hell after 7 shaves you would think i would be an old pro! lol jk thanks for all the great advice.

Go here: Turkish Music, Turkish Food, Evil Eye Jewelry, Movies, Grocery Shopping & Books - Tulumba.com and do a site search for Arko. The shave stick is under $2 and is one of the better soaps out there,IMO. The Arko creams are nice as well with the regular having a classic talc scent and the others having more modern, aquatic scents. The Arko AS creams are good as well.

Thanked: 6so i just got done shaving and my vdb lathers up good for me but it almost seems to get really dry like powder on my face and razor sticks really bad. is my lather to dry , cold, or what make it really tricky to not cut my self when razor wont glide over my skin smoothly. i want to order some mwf but until then gotta figure this out.
