The Perfect Shave November 8, 2005

I've been on the quest for the perfect shave ever since I started shaving, which incidentally, is the day I realized I really didn't like shaving very much.

Combined with a Gillette Mach 3 Turbo razor, this soap gives as close to a perfect shave as I've ever experienced. Using this razor/soap combo, I am able to shave AGAINST the grain. I still use other shaving products for convenience, but when I really want a great shave, I reach for the Colonel Ichabod Conk.

By the way, the soap comes in a little plastic container that can be closed, so there's no need to put the soap in a mug or other container. This means it won't take up much space in your medicine cabinet.

Great Soap for a wet shaver! September 12, 2008

Well, I am a few months into my DE wet shaving practice. Since abandoning the Mach 3 capitalist garbage, my life has improved greatly. Never again. Never will I use that Fusion, "Super technology, flies like an airplane, cleans your kitchen and takes out your trash, hacks up your face for 30$ a refill pack." razor.

Anyway, the soap.
I have tried many Soaps and Creams for shaving and Col. Conk is as great a soap as any of the other 40$ brands. I have a wooden container of Truefitt and Hill soap in my bathroom and I haven't used it in weeks due to this little 3.00$ miracle.

My Taylor of Old Bond Street creams have been sitting in my medicine cabinet because the Col. whipped them into shape.

The bay rum soap is Glycerin based, so you may have to adjust your lathering a little bit, if you are used to triple milled hard soaps like T&H.

Make sure you get A LOT of the soap from the puck into your brush.
To build a lather, Whip it HARD and fast for a good minute in your bowel. Make sure to add little drops of water every 15 seconds or so.

Keep Whipping it good, Grandpa!

you should get one of the best lathers for a shave you ever had!

We originally bought Colonel Conk shaving soap when liquid, gel or cream toiletries were suddenly not allowed in carry-on luggage onboard airplanes. We bought a shaving brush to go with it and my husband was really pleased with the result. Nice lather with a pleasant fragrance.

My husband flies very frequently, and when he's shaving at home he still sometimes uses the canned shaving gel, but even though toiletries under 3oz are allowed on airplanes these days he continues to carry Colonel Conk with him on the road instead of shaving gel or cream. I'd estimate he uses it about 4-5 days a week and at that rate one tub has lasted many months.

I ordered this soap when I decided to start shaving with a straight razor. I haven't found someone to adequately sharpen the razor I bought, but I decided to give the shaving soap a try with my Fusion. WOW!

I have been using it for almost four weeks now, and what amazing results!

- I'm getting much closer, smoother shaves.
- No shaving bumps!
- Not a single nick!
- Smells wonderful, although the scent fades quickly.
- I am actually shaving faster now.
- After almost thirty shaves, the bar still looks new!

All in all, an incredible value, and I will definitely be sticking with this product.
