The rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.

Trumper's Rose soap (old stuff)

I found that rose is my best scent. I can use it any time, where in contrast Tabac and Malborough are better for an evening shave. I can also use it in any season, summer or winter with no problem! It is so refreshing and clean smell to me!

King's shave today! Shavemac is such a nice brush, if you allow it to take what it wants from the pot!

D. R. Harris Windsor cream.

What a nice shave! I don't know why, but D.R. Harris creams are not mentioned that often in forums. However, it is an excellent product!

Anyone recommends the rose?!

I have tried so many soaps, but every time I return to D.R. Harris! The lather is fantastic, the shave is very close and my skin feels really good afterwards! I didn't even know when I started about the tallow based soaps, but I was rather buying based on the scent. However, D.R. Harris, Valobra, Ta...

Squire I am a bit confused on that, because I make lather easier when I don't leave water on the top of the cake to rest, but rather wet the soap and start loading immediately!

Sometimes when I am lathering triple-milled hard soaps, I underestimate the amount of soap that is loaded on the brush, which in turn results in poor and thin lather. Therefore I return back to the cake and give some more swirls. However, I noticed that when I work my brush on the cake a little bit ...

First of all thank you all for your replies! Tim, I couldn't agree more. Shavemac is a very dense brush, built like a tank and has a luxurious feeling. However, you must use much more product in order to release the lather, and time in case you are lathering a soap. Back then when I wanted to buy a ...

Hello folks, long time to see you! After being the last 6-7 years a wetshaver, it seems that the BK4 might fullfills my expectations! I am using mainly soaps and I was wondering if this brush could deal with the soaps. Before 5 years I bought a Shavemac D01 brush with a 24mm knot. Believe it or not,...

Today I received my first straight razor as a gift... It's a DOVO carbon steel razor, with a black wooden handle. I was surprised and didn't expect it; I don't have a strop and a hone. The razor is wrapped with oil and I don't want to use it before I am ready and have the proper equipement. So here ...

Leisureguy, is there a big difference between Silvertip and Finest? Yes, in price. But I'd like to know if they perform differently or feel much different. Gordon are you talking about this http://www.shavemyface.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43085 ? Any suggestion about the difference between the PJ an...

thankfully i have found two brushes that totally work for me and i have tried 5 brushes to get to two the work for me 100% ...and they are?? Could anyone tell me what's the difference between, best and super on Simpsons ?? Stiffness, how soft, firm, etc? And the difference between Tulip and PJ. Tha...

Hello everyone!! After getting in the world of high-end brushes with a shavemac, and knowing now what I want (I think so), I am trying to find a new brush. One which I could use both with soaps and creams for face-lathering. My shavemac is a D01 24mm knot. It's an excellent brush...!!! BUT... I thin...

If I were you, I wouldn't think of a limit, and buy a D.R. Harris soap.

They are simply amazing, and if you consider how long it takes to finish a cake, it will cost you pennies!

I think a DE is the greatest way to learn how to shave with a multi-blade razor. After using a DE for a long time I learned what means no pressure. Many guys don't know this until they use a DE and butcher themselves. When I go back to my Fusion I get great shaves in a combination with the wet-shavi...

Gil, use it in good health!


I have to say that this model is not appealing to me, but I have a shavemac brush and I know how you feel!
Real quality brushes, without shedding.

Is it D01 hair?

They are not the same thing.

Soap has a stronger scent and thicker lather. I don't know why but the cream isn't that special as soap, and it doesn't lather nearly as good.

The soap will crack very fast!


I will never buy again the cream, but the soap for sure yes.
