TWIN PACK - Parker Safety Razor Premium Sandalwood & Shea Butter Shaving Soaps in Watertight Container - 1.76 oz (50 gm) each Review

TWIN PACK - Parker Safety Razor Premium Sandalwood and Shea Butter Shaving Soaps in Watertight Container - 1.76 oz (50 gm) each
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been shaving with a quality badger brush and good soaps for over twenty years. Part of the appeal is the ritual: warming the brush and face with hot water, pumping the brush with soap to make a creamy lather and then applying all this warmth to the face. But mostly it's because of the smooth, close shaves I get. I had not tried the Parker soap, but the Parker name is well regarded by aficionados of the shave (yep, it's almost cultish). Parker Safety Razor, founded in 1973, is an Indian company, and these soaps are made there. The soaps are all natural, free of pesticides and not tested on animals.
These two jars of soap are handsomely packaged and a good value, but they are small. With only a 2 1/4-inch jar-opening, it's more difficult to pump the brush than it is with soap in a bowl. But they are a perfect size for travel. More important, they give a super smooth and very close shave; my razor glides over my face, and I am closely shaved with just one pass of the razor--it must be the soap's shea butter. Yet the lather rinses clear and leaves no residue. My face feels smooth, soft and moist without any hint of dryness. The soap's sandalwood scent is subtle and refreshing.
This is one of the best soaps I've used. I wish they made a larger size to use as refills for shaving bowls. The small jar-size is the only reason for four stars rather than five.

With the exception of my Italian DOVO Traveling Shave Brush, the "Colonel Ichabod Conk" is by far the best brush I have ever used ... not too large, not too small, lathers perfectly, and the handle is exquisite!

Proraso Eucalyptus Shaving Soap for Normal Skin 5.2 oz bar Review

Proraso Eucalyptus Shaving Soap for Normal Skin 5.2 oz bar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this shave soap better than the 'pre shave cream' they make. Neither product offers much lubrication, but they both tingle your face awake.
The eucalyptus and menthol are very effective at opening the face for a shave. It smells a lot like Vick's, but will get you a closer shave than just soap. I find that if I put some of this and some of Col. Conk's soap (with glycerin) on my shaving brush- and face- I get the 'good morning' eucalyptus with a more satisfying lubrication.
I am not sure I'd buy this product again at $10 a jar.

This was the first time I have used shaving soap and this is better than I expected, I get a close shave, it lathers very well and leaves my face feeling and smelling great. I have had this product for about a month and shave every other day and it doesn't even seem like I am making a dent in this product.

Large Stainless Steel Shaving Soap Bowl from Super Safety Razors Review

Large Stainless Steel Shaving Soap Bowl from Super Safety Razors
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very nice, elegant soap lathering bowl. I think the price is good. The bowl isn't high quality but it is good quality and a nice addition to your shaving kit. In the bowl I see four tack weld marks covered over by the 'chrome' and four more under the stand, but they aren't noticeable with anything in the bowl. Also, the 'rubber' ring around the bottom is somewhat loose and not overly well finished but, a tad of rubber cement inside and a small snip-snip on the loose material will take care of that. And, the bowl helps create great lather! I used it with a D.R. Harris Lavender cream and it whipped up nice and thick and rich, that is both a reflection on the cream and the design of the bowl. If you get this bowl you won't regret it!

Burt's Bees - Bay Rum Shaving Soap(Disc), 3 oz bar Review

Burt's Bees - Bay Rum Shaving Soap(Disc), 3 oz bar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This shaving soap smells nice.
But, sadly, the scent serves only to make you wish that this product performed as well as it smells.
It's a maddening chore to try and get it to lather. The lather that you do get after a ton of effort simply isn't worth the trouble. Thin, weak, quick to dry on the face and providing little in the way of cushion, slip or glide, it's a shadow of what lather produced with a brush should be.
The puck is hard and waxy. It is unlike any other shaving soap I've tried, and not in a good way. In fact, the performance of this soap was so bad, I thought I must have gotten a substandard puck. Sadly, a little searching on wet shaving forums showed that I wasn't alone in my dismay with this shaving soap. In fact, it's hard to categorize this as soap. Regular mass market detergent soaps would work better for shaving than this, and they don't work well at all.
I've had great results with many other shaving soaps, glycerin and tallow based. I can get a decent lather out of Williams mug soap, a product with a hard-to-lather reputation. I don't insist on top dollar English soaps. I wanted to like this product, but the only time I got any satisfaction out of using it was from the solid thump it made when I tossed it in the trash.
I'm not a Burt's Bees hater, as I think the bay rum aftershave balm is a winner, and I've enjoyed some of the other products in the line.
This soap is one of the few disappointments I've come across in a year of wet shaving. Too bad, as it does smell nice.

Taylor Of Old Bond Street Shaving Soap in Wooden Bowl, Lavender Review

Taylor Of Old Bond Street Shaving Soap in Wooden Bowl, Lavender
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I tried this after reading a review here ([...]). I was worried it would be too fru-fru or fruity but it is GREAT! It has a good lather but not as good as their cream. The overall smell is good and is not so strong that it stays with you. Don't be afraid, this IS a mans shave cream. The one complaint is that the solids are cold when lathered on as opposed to something I can put in my warm mug and lather up.

Herban Cowboy Shave Soap ,Dusk Review

Herban Cowboy Shave Soap ,Dusk
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I often just buy new soaps just to try them since, I already have a line of soaps I really like(Van Der Hagen) usually $1.00-1.60. Most of the other brands just have a stronger scent that I like but do not shave as well, then I just take a VDH Glycerin and melt them together and get the best of both worlds. The Herban Cowboy soap smells nice and lathers well till you get to lathering the other side of your face and it all disappears (foam less, no glide, worthless). I never return anything but this one is going back since, I can't support suck a bad product. In case you were wondering I used it with a silvertip badger brush and a boar brush to give it a fair shot. I also tried different blades Personna being my favorite with my Merker barberpole razor.

Average Reviews:

I was looking for a good sandalwood shave soap with a travel case and this one looked pretty good. However, when it arrived and I smelled the soap I didn't smell any sandalwood at all. The smell is very perfume-y and not what I was looking for at all. The little plastic holder is nice though. I'll probably buy a different soap and put it in the holder.

Crazy good. Insane price.
The handle on the brush is all metal. No plastic. It is a substantial heavy base for the bristles. It is beautiful and well made.
The brush itself is as thick as the jungle! I mean this baby is thick, soft, lush and luxurious. There are some items that just scream "i'm a well made high quality product"... This is one of them.
This is the epitomy of what a shave brush should be at a price that I still don't believe. I now need to buy more of these for gifts. That's what I think of these.

#150 Straight Razor Ultimate Pro * Simco Strop * Fromm Strop Dressing Combo Review

#150 Straight Razor Ultimate Pro * Simco Strop * Fromm Strop Dressing Combo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this set along with some other items a few weeks back. I compared it to others that were similar I felt this was a good choice.
When the set arrived it looked nice and felt very nice. I tried to shave with it, it was no where near shave ready. It was necessary to do some hone work to get it ready.
Once it is properly honed and well stropped it does a good job. This is not a razor for a first timer. If you are a first timer I would suggest getting a good name brand razor such as DOVO or the like. Or search out a site that hones the razor prior to shipping so that it is shave ready Theirs Issard.
The strop is decent, you will have to spend time breaking it in. This is normal.
Had I not had a set of hones and knew how to prepare the blade I would have been disappointed with this purchase. For someone that knows how to do these things it is a good purchase. If you do not know how, you can visit a number of sites on line that is dedicated to straight razor shaving. The skills can be learned in a few evenings reading postings of other men that know how and impart their knowledge and wisdom freely.
Eventually you will have to purchase a set of honing stones for yourself, at some point in time you will need them or have the knife sent off to be honed. This is true of all straight razors no matter where you purchase them.
If you are prepared to learn and try it yourself it is a good purchase/project kit.

I've been using this brush for a week now, and while it is quite small, it lathers very well. It's the perfect brush for travellers for whom space is at a premium, and the aluminum handle is ingeniously designed to allow the brush to dry even when prepped for travel. I will definitely be taking this brush with me on my deployment.

100% Black Badger Shave Brush with Faux Ivory Handle and Free Stand from Parker Safety Razor Review

100% Black Badger Shave Brush with Faux Ivory Handle and Free Stand from Parker Safety Razor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Switched from boar to this badger brush, and wow! What a difference! The brush lathered my shave soaps/creams much faster than the boar brush, feels MUCH better on my face (so much softer) and I was able to use less soap/cream. Definitely worth the money! The handle is actually beefier than it looks on the picture which makes it nice to hold with wet hands and I was impressed there were no molding lines running anywhere on the brush handle - it's completely smooth. Very good finish. The stand looks like some of the acrylic ones I've seen selling for $6. Overall, a great value and would recommend it to anyone!

King Size 100% Pure Badger Bristle Shaving Brush with Marblized Handle and free Shave Brush Stand from Parker Safety Razor Review

King Size 100% Pure Badger Bristle Shaving Brush with Marblized Handle and free Shave Brush Stand from Parker Safety Razor
Average Reviews:

I really enjoy this brush, it's my first badger so I can only compare to a boar but I feel it has a nice balance
between being firm enough to lather well and soft enough to feel good on the face. It has a large dense knot and big handle, but I like it, I have large hands and it reaches deep into the lathering bowl without the handle clanging around on the sides of the dish. It shed a few hairs during it's initial shampoo and conditioning prior to it's first use but hasn't shed more than a couple since then. Howi at Super Safety Razors was great when I contacted him with a couple of questions and I would not hesitate to buy from him again.
