Hello everyone,

Im looking into getting my first straight razor set in the near future, and am currently looking into the brand of shaving soap to get, and was looking for any suggestions. I was originally thinking about going with Trumpers Sandalwood, however, I have herd from other places that users have found it to be a little difficult to work with. As a beginner, im looking for something that will create a nice thick lather fairly easily, and from a personal standpoint, my skin tends to be on the drier side, and i get razor bumps pretty easily (one of the reasons why i am looking into the switch to a straight razor) so i would prefer something that will address that. At this point i think i might just go with an SRD soap and go from there.

Thanks,
Tyler
