Colonel Conk Col. almond Shaving Soap 3. 75 Ounce Large

I had higher hopes..lathered up but dissipated quickly..still had ok lubrication eventhough lather dissipated..don't expect I'll be buying this again..works but I've had and have Much better..

So, I've used some bargain brand shaving soaps in the past and in some ways, those were better. This soap is not "slimy" is the best way I can put it, meaning that the soap just makes a very light lather and does not necessarily lubricate the razor extremely well. No amount of whipping it up seems to thicken the lather after a certain point, and varying the water content in the brush to use as very little as possible also does not help. I shave in the shower though, so your may experience a difference if you shave at the sink instead.

I'd like to point out that even though this is being sold as 3.75 oz size, it is actually 3.15 oz as printed on the package. It appears to be a new formulation and a new package, so perhaps the seller could be forgiven as the old large size used to be 3.75oz. I'm giving it a neutral rating as I have not tried it yet.

I gave up "modern" shaving products a few years ago and switched to using simpler products. A double edge safety razor, a shaving brush, and some shave soap like this are much cheaper to use and give me a better shave overall. This Col. Conk almond soap is a reliable favorite. It easily makes up a nice lather on my brush, feels good on the skin, protects against razor burn, and has a pleasantly sweet but very subtle scent. This size provides me four-six months of shaves. Good stuff.

Nice size bar of shaving soap with a great almond scent.
