Lathering with leftover Shaving Soap

As stated in this week's video I'm using a shaving soap ball to make a lather with. But what is a shaving soap ball you ask? Good question I can only tell you this is what is left at the end of filling all the tubs when I do a new batch. This doesn't happen all the time but when it does I make a shaving soap ball. This ball can be any scent and size this one happens to be Stranger Shaves. I took the rest that was left in the batch and rolled it into a ball and let it try on the rack along with all the other tubs.

Shaving With Michelle's Wool Fat

This week we use Michelle's Wool Fat shaving soap a hard puck soap that people have had trouble lathering in the past. I have to say I've never had this problem if I had to guess maybe it's due to the different types of water in certain areas I'm not really sure but be that as it may, I did manage to make a nice lather but only after changing the bowl size. In the past, I've always used Michelle's ceramic bowl to lather in which when I purchased the puck the ceramic bowl was included. I found it to be a good bowl but it never had the room that my WTF bowls have and once I switched it I was able to produce a really nice lather almost instantly.

Shaving & Laundry Sauce


On today's Shaving and Talking, we bring out the shaving soap Lagom. I love this scent it's based on Tom Fords White Pachueli. Lagom is Swedish for moderate not too much not too little and it's used in just about everything in Sweden from cooking to one's own life and we used it here in our shaving soap. I learned about this word from a model on Youtube they call her Swea and she goes by her social handle SweaLife her actual name is Estelle Berglin. Blonde, Beautiful, and down to earth. She currently lives in Abu Dhabi. She talked about what the word Lagom means and I thought it would be a perfect name for a shaving soap.

St Patrick's Day Shave With The Quiet Man


St Patrick's day just passed so I thought I would do a shave with The Quiet Man which was something I came up with after watching the movie of the same name. Whenever this movie airs I'm always drawn to it. I usually start to sit down and say to myself I'll only watch it for a little while and before you know it I'm watching the whole movie again. So glad we have this movie to watch today because I'm not sure it could be made in today's climate we are in. I'm sure you can find questionable actions from John Wayne all through the movie.

A little bit about the issues of aftershave balms we had tried to reorder our tottles which is the name for the aftershave balm wh bottles we use and they have been out of stock for some time now we needed to move to something different until they are available again there is no ETA on them so we are keeping a close eye on the situation in the meantime we have a substitute.

A Quick Shave with Arko & Contest Info


Sometimes I'm so tired from the day's activities that I realize while I'm lying in bed I didn't shave yet. This happened to me this week so I needed to shave quickly since it was pretty late at night. I reached for Arko Extra Fresh shaving cream. This comes in a toothpaste-like tube and is so easy to dispense just place a little in your hand and massage it into your wet face and presto lather.

Extra Fresh is one of my favorites from Arko the menthol will wake you up and get you going with a morning shave as well and the post-shave feel is fantastic.

Arthur Shelby Bushmills From Wet The Face

Today I'm excited to introduce the third release in our Shelby Shaving Soap series called Arthur Shelby Bushmills. We used the real deal here. This is made with The Bushmills Prohibition Irish Whiskey. We had to create this carefully due to the alcohol content which is not only dangerous but if not done properly could cease the batch rendering it useless. It took over two hours to simmer some of the alcohol down to levels safe for soap making. Once it was done we knew we had something very special. You could just smell the whiskey in the air for days when the batch was drying. It was an amazing experience to finally tackle this project and now it's here for all of you to enjoy.
