Thread: Christmas Soap

Some friends just popped round my house with a Christmas present for me. They know I'm into traditional shaving so they got me a shaving soap, as I was unwrapping it I was worrying that it'd be something horrible and I'd have to pretend to like it - however to my amazement they got me.....

Penhaligons English Fern!

They couldn't have chosen better. This stuff smells and lathers great, and I didn't have it already!

Now those are friends to keep!

I scored a tub of COATE'S SUPERIOR TEA TREE SHAVING CREAM.

I also got some nice sandalwood Crabtree & Evelyn Have Soap it is much better than the Colgate shave soap Ive been using.

Hi.

I bought the crabtree evelyn sandalwood today and shaves and guess what. My face started to burn like hell. Worst thing is that it started before i started to shave. Anyone elese experienced this?

Yep, I used a few products that have irritated my skin. The Floris soap did this as well as the D.R. Harris soap. Tabac is starting to do it (which is really disappointing me because I love that soap). It happens from time to time and everyone's skin is different. I just move on to the next product. Hope that helps.

Regards,
EL
