Teiste said:Yeah Leon,I bet that you know that :lol: Its curious that you have a great tradition of shaving creams while here we have a tradition of shaving sticks.Do you have any shaving soap in Portugal worthy to mention?Does Ach. Brito makes any?
Unfortunately there aren't any Portuguese shaving soaps. If they were they would be in my shop :mrgreen: .
Ach. Brito doesn't make any shaving soap, but in the past they did. I managed to get some very rare powder from the very own Ach. Brito, the same company that makes Musgo Real and Lavanda. I don't know how many years does this thing has, but it was nicely closed and compact, so I guess it was still usable. I sprinkled some powder into the tin and with a moist brush I started swirling, soon after, the lather was growing. Not as much cushioning as MR or Lavanda, but still nice, though, after all, it's a very rare shaving soap powder that hasn't been made for many years now.
Translating the card box: "Pó de Sabão para Barbear" = "Soap in Powder for Shaving", "Qualidade fina" = "Fine quality".
