Shaving Soap/Cream Purchase Thread

[K Williams]

It's a Nathan Clark custom made with I believe High Mountain White or Silvertip Badger, can't remember which one. I contacted him on face book and had him make it for me. My favorite brush.

Nice!

Mostly soaps scented with pipe or cigar tobacco arrived today.

- Catie's Bubbles Connecticut Shade
- Asylum Old Virginia
- Declaration Grooming Gratiot League Square
- Henri et Victoria Cognac and Cuban Cigars
- Noble Otter Flying Hide

How's the scent of the Henri et Victoria? I was looking at getting a tub of that also as I've read rave reviews about it.

To my nose, I get cigar leaf, cognac, and vanilla.

Trying to burn through all my soaps before I start buying more. Been a couple years since I bought any shave soap and I still have a few pucks/tubs left

Fine American Blend is currently my favorite. I have relatively hard water and this stuff lathers like a champ. Haven’t tried other scents yet

Any scent from Wholly Kaw, Ariana & Evans, or Barrister & Mann.

Check out Maggard Razors' website for a good selection.

Nice haul, Although I've heard great things about A&E, I've never tried it. Let me know the how it performs and also the scent profile. Also the Anne Bonny.

Kelvin got me on the A&E kick. I’ve been happy with all their soaps so far. I have their Summer Fig (gifted to me by Kelvin) and got a sample of their A&E Vanil de Tobac which has superb aromas of vanilla, tobacco and a little cinnamon??? Super thick lather once I get the hang of how much water to soak my brush. Still a work in progress on that though.

The summer fig I have to get back to you when I use it again. I have a small rotation now so I rotate every shave.

The Anne Bonny, definitely strong on the nose from the sample. Some notes of dark rum and strong scent of lime which stuck around for an hour or so after shaving. The lather built up was superb though.
