To preface this post, I am currently using TOBS (Avocado, Eton College, Mr. Taylors, Shaving Shop), Proraso (Red/Blue Tube, Red/White Tub), Cyril Salter Rose, Mystic Water Bay Rum, Tabac, 3P, and Mitchells Wool Fat. The Strop Shoppe soap is equal to any of these soaps. Amazingly thick, slick, comfor...

Yes..about the consistency of Proraso Red/White/Green in a tub.

I recently pick-up a tub of this soap and it is hard to describe how good this soap is.

This soap works good for me and I love the scent.

Godrej shave creams have been enjoyed by many over the years and have a good reputation. A good value especially if you can find them locally at an Indian market. Gary, I believe the key is, "good value especially if you can find them locally at an Indian market". Some of the Internet pri...

It is hard to believe the company that engineered the Fatboy is now to this.

Johnny...same here. With a little patience and practice the MWF will deliver dynamite lather.

I had not heard of these blades until recently. I picked up some from Joe at Shaveabuck. For me this is an outstanding blade. I have one loaded in to a Krona and one in to a Gillette Long Handle Adjustable (setting 3). I have been using Proraso Red and Blue (tube), Proraso White (tub), and tonight T...

Wish I could try a sample. I am not a fan of unscented soaps and creams.....just me. I love TOBS creams...dynamite lather.

Chris,

Good to see shave gear is coming together. Over time it appears you have struggled to find the right razor/blade/brush/soap combination that works for you. If the current gear works, please stay with it for a while and not introduce another variable.

Welcome and let us know if we can be of assistance.

This is my first SOTD photo...received a close and comfortable shave with this gear.

It is yours.

Please send mailing address.

A beautiful piece. I assume you are able to make any color you want?

They are not a hard soap like MWF or a cream such as TOBS but are soft - kinda the consistency of peanut butter. Hope this helps.

Den clearing. Want to PIF to newbie who wants to try an artisan soap. Nice soap; nice lather..want to find it a home.

Fresh; nothing wrong with it. Just want to clear a soap; I prefer 3P.

Want to PIF to a newbie who wants to try one of the Italian soft soaps but has none. Please let me know. CONUS please.

Does anyone know cost of having a razor re-plated?

Thanks much......
