I obtained a sample of Speik Shaving Cream from the Wet Shave Sample Shop on the Shave Nook.com. First impressions..it’s Orange! OK, other than that, it smells pretty good too. Kind of a clean soap smell. It’s rather enjoyable. It lathers great too. It didn’t matter what brush I used, Boar or Badger. There are…
I ordered some Shave Cream from EM’s. I now have a 2 oz. pump top bottle of Balancing Lathering Shave Cream. It has a wonderful scent. I like the pump top for convenience and overall it works really well. I have been able to get some really good lathers with this stuff. It starts off…
SO there is a story behind the little bottle of Glycerin that I have. I bought it at Walmart. I use Glycerin from time to time to make my soaps and creams lather better. It also helps if they are a tad “Dry” on the skin. I bought my bottle of Glycerin at Walmart. Now,…
I have been using Basilica Shaving Cream for a while. This Shaving Cream was purchased from Queen Charlotte Soaps. I have been critical in the past because the smell was a little light. Well, apparently my guardian Angel has taken mercy on me and decided that I deserved to smell the Frankincense and Myrrh that…
I was in Walmart the other day and saw a small puck of Shaving soap. Ok, that’s nice. But wait, there’s more…it’s only $1.50. Hmm…I wonder if this stuff is worth fooling around with? Well, let’s find out. So, I took it home and one afternoon I tried it out. It didn’t do to bad.…
I started a Twitter account a few weeks back. Because of that Twitter account I received an email from a gentleman that has a line of shaving soaps. He asked me if I’d like to review one of them. Well, here it is… First off, this is a lot of soap! This is 8 oz.…
I tried Vostok today. It’s another of the Queen Charlotte Soaps. It is a peppermint and menthol shaving cream. It’s good stuff. Think a frozen York Peppermint Pattie on a brush. I lathered with 3 drops of glycerin and warmed the shaving cream up in the water that I soaked my brush in. This made…
Since I have changed, updated, modified my method for using the Queen Charlotte Soap Shave Creams, I decided that I would go back and test the Basilica again. I melted some in my Salsa bowl and added three drops of glycerin. It lathered up well and from that aspect it was OK. It lathered better…
Today I tried out Queen Charlotte. This shaving cream has a delicate rose smell to it. It’s really nice. I used a different method for this test. I took a bit of the shaving cream out of the sample container and put it into my salsa bowl. I then heated this for a couple of…
I had heard about Cremo, but I had never seen it (or at least never noticed it) in the stores that I typically shop in. I happened to be in a Walgreen’s and picked up a large tube for $8. I took it home and started checking it out. First thing noticed was it had…
