Thread: Mike's Natural Soaps

I've seen this soap mentioned several times, especially in our "What soap did you use today" thread.

What can you guys tell me about it. I ordered two tubs to try it out.

Gentlemen: I found 3 open threads for Mike's Natural soap on the first page of the soap forum, actually within the first 7 threads. They have been merged into one giant thread. Please post your comments about Mike's soap here. Please do not start new threads with the same topic. Please check the forum list first. Thank you.

I bought samples of all the shaving soaps. I like the smell of the ones I've tried so far (Rose and Cedarwood, Peppermint and Rosemary, Barbershop). I find they hold a lot of water and don't like heat but they give a nice shave and good lather. I like them enough that I'll probably always keep one or more in my rotation.

+1 on the no heat

I have found they can give amazing performances when cold water and face lathering are involved. Also they uber lather pretty well in my experience.

I am a huge fanvocate of MNS , I have a few tubs, and for the price it's one that can't be beat. the scents are great and the EO he uses really nourishes my skin, along with the lanolin. I find it easy to use , and build a nice thick creamy lather. Plus Mike is a great guy to deal with, I'm just waiting for his sandalwood to come out

What scents did u get?

Keep me updated Rich 'cause I'm curious too. MNS seems to be the flavour of the month - heard anyone mention the Bomb lately? In fact I've seen MNS mentioned so many times in that thread that I'm wondering if Mike is paying off members for all the publicity.....

I have used several of the scents, and they all smell and work great. I've not had any problems lathering any of them with warm/hot water.

I got "Barber Shop" and "Orange, Cedarwood and Black Pepper" Quite a few were sold out.

Just curious, you guys that are having success with Mike's, are you using a DE or a straight?

I'm using a straight.

I use mostly DE or SE and have not used the Mikes with a straight, but one my straight using friends swears by the stuff too.
