Review (5/5): Solid shaving soap to figure out where to go next
I think this is a fine shaving soap to try out, especially if you are new to using them. Even if it is not the one you end up using more than others, I find it hard to believe that many people will dislike it. I think it is quite solid, and one of the best soaps out there.
I have been shaving with a safety razor for about 10 years, and have tried quite a few different shaving soaps in that time. Through all of this, I have purchased Mitchell's shaving soap more than any other. That says something. I often find myself coming back to it.
The scent is mild, and doesn't stick around for a long time. However, the moisturizing effect does. I spend a lot of time outside, whether working or playing, and I appreciate this. I have never been a habitual user of any kind of skin moisturizer, and I can say that my skin feels healthier after using this product versus the times I have used others.
The lather does not look or feel as thick as other soaps I have used, but it works just as well if not better. If anything else can be said, it is certainly easier to rinse from my brush when I am done with it than other soaps.
I recommend giving this a try, whether you are new to using shaving soaps or a seasoned user who hasn't given it a shot yet. It may be the one you've been looking for. Even if it's not the one you are looking for, it might help guide you in the right direction.
