Thread: Top Glycerin Soaps

Looking for some glycerin shave soaps to try out. I've already been using the Conk and it lathers up nicely once you get it ratios dialed in but I'm looking to branch out. What are your guy's top glycerine soaps that you like?

I've only used two - WM Neumann and Mama Bear. Both produce a nice lather. I think i personal preference is for W. M. Neumann simply because I like the scents better and they offer an entire line up of shaving products (soap, aftershave, balm, etc).

I shall take a look at WM Neumann. Mama Bear is the one I see and hear about a lot and they seem to have some pretty odd/elaborate scents too. Thanks.

The Mama Bear soaps I've tried were good. But they kind of reminded me of walking into a Yankee Candle store. Where as the WM Neumann scents were more clean and/or cologne-like. There's another member who is writing up some reviews on the aftershaves right now. You can do a search and find it. He gives his descriptions of the scents.

They seem like they would have that kind of vibe to them. lol Oh really? I need to find that. I'm also looking for some good aftershave as well. I can only take so much of the Gillette gel that I have. To "salon product" smelling you know. Definitely need something that healthier and smells robust.

straightrazordesigns glycerin based soaps, just used a sandalwood sample today which i received a while back and i must say it blew every other soap i have in my rotation! the glide and cushion was unbelievable and lathered up easily! once the pocket is full i WILL be ordering more of that stuff! probably their vanilla bourbon or west indies bay...or opus x..or vetiver...

SRD soaps are awesome i have the vetiver and love it, have used the vanilla bourbon and it smells amazing. I also think mama bears has some great soaps

I'm not really a soap guy, and haven't used too many, but I too like the SRD stuff.

I started a thread the other day with I guess a bit of a review on my thoughts of this exact soap

"My brush exploded!!!



And it filled my bathroom with the scent of Sandalwood.

A quick shower this evening, a soak of the brush, tossed the Sandalwood chip in my hand and a few quick swirls to load up.

I don’t think I even made it to the bowl with the brush and the scent hit me, my brush just exploded with lather,

I think the lather was growing on its own.

This is the first shave I have ever had where I did not feel the need for a post shave balm.

My face was both well moisturized and comfortable post shave.

If you have not tried the SRD soaps gents it is well worth the effort.

You can smell each one through the package, it is hard to pick a favorite, and the performance is top notch."
