LA Shaving Soap: Santa Monica Bay Rum
Hi folks, I recently responded to a request on the Forum from John from LA Shaving Soap asking for some feedback for a new range of soaps. John very kindly offered to send me a sample of soap as a thank you, I chose the Santa Monica Bay Rum.
After a few days I received this:
As you can see two samples, both of which smelled absolutely beautiful something my Wife commented on as soon as I opened the envelope.
I chose to use the Bay Rum first, with a Merkur 37c, a Gillette Green Blade in my recently re-finished stainless steel bowl with my Bluebeards revenge Doubloon brush.
Choosing to bowl lather I placed a small amount in the bottom of the bowl:
Added a bit of water and started to work the soap, all the while loving the aroma, after a short time I was rewarded with a lovely thick foamy lather:
As soon as I began painting my face I found the lather was indeed nice and thick and I was sure It would definitely provide a nice cushion for my shave, I was not wrong and had a lovely 3 pass shave and enjoyed the smell of cloves as I did so.
Once finished I still had enough lather in my bowl for another shave, although I had managed to drip some water in it would definitely be usable. ( sorry for the poor picture)
I was very happy with the performance of the soap, a little bit went a long way and was very easy to work with, the fragrance was very pleasant and not too overpowering.
I look forward to trying the Topanga Fougere.
Thanks for reading and thanks again to LA Shaving Soap for the chance to use a great product.
