Vintage Barbershop Shave

For Christmas week, I’m planning to use our Vintage Barber Shop. If you haven’t tried Wet The Face before, I think you’ll really enjoy this one! Many people find it refreshing and a unique experience.

The scent is designed to transport you back to a barbershop chair from the past, giving you that classic barbershop shave we all love.

Just like all Wet The Face shaving soaps, this one is a lather machine and gets right into your beard with great coverage. The slickness and glide are amazing, making for irritation-free shaves. Plus, the post-shave feel is fantastic, and it’s even better when you finish with the same scent aftershave splash.

Captain's Choice Eucalyptus

Today I'll be using Eucalyptus from Captain's Choice. I just felt like using this again, and it was a wonderful shave with plenty of Eucalyptus, but it does tend to remind me of Vicks VapoRub, but in a good way.

The soap held up after many years dormant and snapped right back into action after being placed in the shaving bowl. A little warm water and my favorite brush produced an amazing amount of lather. This lather got right onto the beard, and the feeling of this Eucalyptus has to be experienced. I was able to use my Occam's Razor without fear of irritation. The slickness and glide are all good, and the post-shave feel spectacular.

I did, however, use Wet The Face aftershave, Mr. Warlock. I think nothing beats it.

Shaving With The Quiet Man - Tallow

Today I'm using The Quiet Man shaving soap, the tallow version. It's been getting a lot of buzz lately; in fact, all the tallow soaps we sell are selling more than ever before. We use a tallow source here on Long Island. When our batch is ready, they call, and we pick it up, not too far away from us, which saves us on shipping costs.

When I'm creating tallow soaps, the tell is in the melted oils. It has a kind of shimmer to it that no other oil provides. You can almost see how slick this is going to be. I personally feel our vegan soaps are just as slick as our tallow versions, but I need to give customers what they want, which is why we created the tallow line. We currently have 4 soaps in Tallow, The Quiet Man, Vintage Barbershop, Vanilla Tobacco, and Don's Vetiver. We are going to be adding to the line this year, so watch out for that in the near future.

Palmolive Stick Shave

Today I picked Palmolive Shaving stick because I need to get my shave on fast. No bowl lather, just wet the face, applied the stick to my face, then wet the brush and did a face lather. In seconds, I had an amazing amount of lather, and it just kept growing. Wonderful stuff, this stick. So glad I am able to try this amazing (discontinued, not sure) product with the help of a subscriber who sent it to me.

The lather was thick and creamy and got right into the beard. I was able to use my single-edge Occam's Razor without any nicks or cuts; the Post-shave feel was fantastic. All in all, it was a wonderful shave with no issues, and that's what we like to see.

Shaving With Respect

When I started my Wet Shaving journey many years ago, I came upon a company called Soap Commander. I had no idea what I was looking for, but I knew I wanted to try it. I wanted to shave like my dad used to do with a DE razor. So I ordered a sample package from Soap Commander and an R89Grande DE razor and blade sample package from Amazon. The soap came to me first, and I remember being very excited to show my friend Tom, whom I had called into my office to show him all the stuff. I gave him a few samples to try.

This was the beginning, and now, many years later, I have started my own company, Wet The Face, and have my own line of products. Needless to say, I had forgotten about my first shaving soaps, so I'm here showing some respect.

Respect is a delightful combination of lime and patchouli, which I bloomed for approximately two to five minutes, due to its slightly drying out over the years. The loading of the brush was easy, and the lather this soap produced was amazing. It got right into the beard and provided great coverage. The slickness and glide were also just as good, along with a wonderful post-shave feel.

If you're looking for something you can count on, then Soap Commander is your best bet.

Saponificio Varesino 1945

Today I'm using Saponificio Varesino 1945 right from its storage holder. I first bloomed the puck for over 3-5 minutes, which allowed me to load more soap on the brush. Once this was done, I lathered it into a rich creamy lather right into the beard. Amazing feel from this lather. The scent is one I like, but the strength could be a bit more pronounced.

Needless to say, the shave was wonderful, the soap allowed me to go over trouble spots without the fear of irritation, and the post-shave feel was brilliant. I would recommend any of these soaps, but for me, one is all I need because I'm not sure each release is that different than the previous ones. They all seem to have the same scent to me. I'm sure this is just something that I'm experiencing. So, try to find a place that would allow you to try them and see for yourself.
