Review (5/5): The Last Shave Soap/Cream You Will Buy
I tried a multitude of shaving creams and soaps before buying Mitchels Wool Fat Shave Soap. First I tried Art of Shaving cream (lemon scent), which smells great, but expensive - way over priced. Next I tried Proraso Shaving Cream; it was okay, but I needed to use a lubricating shave oil to get a better shave. I then tried Taylor of Old Bond soap (sandalwood fragrance). Super strong fragrance, almost too much. Also, this shave soap does not lather as much as one would expect. Like the Proraso Shaving Cream, I needed to use a lubricating shave oil to get a better shave. I then purchased Mitchels Wool Fat Shave Soap and wish I started off with this product. It lathers well and I do not need a lubricating shave oil. I must note, this does not feel greasy and does not leave your skin feeling greasy; it’s perfectly formulated. It has a very light fragrance, but it does not interfere with colognes. I simply get a great shave with Mitchels Wool Fat Shave Soap using my Merkur double edge razor. Last, I’m still on my initial purchase of Mitchels Wool Fat Shave Soap that I bought well over a year ago; a little goes a long way. This purchase is my back up. I definitely recommend this product.
