    Form v function

    I recently posted that I had discovered LEA shaving soap whilst travelling in spain recently. I absolutely adore the way this soap works, which got me to thinking. Comparing its great fuctionality at 1.30 Euros to other expensive soaps that I have tried which work well but not as well, the...

    In praise of Lea shaving soap

    Just spending some time in Spain to catch some winter sun. I was in the local supermarket (Mercadona) and picked a stick of Lea shaving soap for €1. 30. I've been here 6 weeks now and shaved every 2nd day. I have only used the Lea stick because, frankly, i haven't wanted to use anything else...

    Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti in tin

    Got this as a treat for myself but after two shaves I've decided the scent isn't for me although the soap performs perfectly. Looking for £25 delivered as it's near enough brand new. Would consider swaps for other good quality soaps, ideally something with a spicy or minty type of smell or...

    Lack of Lather, Blame the Brush

    A while ago, I went through a phase of using a shaving cream, rather than soaps, just to see. It was that bit easier, as you don't need to work the brush against a puck to get some ready to go. During this, I had (for various reasons) often skipped soaking my brush. I've only got the one, an...

    Hard soap help?

    Hi all, I've never used a hard shaving soap before and I'd quite like too but I've got a few questions. Can you switch pucks out of bowls/ use one bowl for numerous pucks or do you use one bowl per puck? (Most places I've seen charge £10+ for a bowl when most soaps are less than a tenner...

    OSP bathing soap

    I ordered three OSP Bathing soaps and recieved them yesterday, they all smell fantastic, a natural fragrance nothing synthetic about it at all. The soap lathers up just at the sight of water, so much lather and it was not only soapy as you would expect but it felt like a soap and moisturising...
