    Question Burt's Bees Shaving Soap?

    Does Burt's Bees still make shaving soap? Is it any good? If not, what do you consider to be the best/most popular shaving soap? Thanks.

    They still make a bayrum soap, best smelling bayrum I have ever smelled, but the lather sucks. You could use it to build some uberlather with some glycerin, or another unscented soap.

    Best is all opinion so many great ones but a fixture probably of most of us when comes to shaving soap and a favorite of mine and many others is Mitchell's wool fat

    yea, I'd pass on berts bees.

    Best is a complicated term here. The top tier soaps like MDC and CF and C&S and Xpec are well, top tier but with those you are paying for the name and scent. A good English soap will give you a very high level of lather quality. Harris or Trumpers are examples of those.

    In all my time at SRP I think there was only one member who actually liked Burt's Bees hehe

    As for what's better, a quick scan of the soaps/creams forum will reveal more gems than you'll be able to sample in a lifetime. And that's not an exaggeration either
