whilst reading another thread someone noted a lack of reviews for Boots shave stick among other things so i thought i'd oblige
my orignal foray into the world of wet-shaving was with my Grandad's old Gillette boar brush and the Wilkinson Sword soap black bowl and my Sensor.
after discovering B+B i made the leap to using a DE.
i wanted a way of trying out lots of different products but cost effectively, hence soap sticks.
i went a bit mad originally so i've tried quite a few things in a relatively short space of time :roll:
anyhoo
one main advantage of Boots's stick is that it comes in a nice holder unlike Palmolive, Speick and WS.
so what you say, well it makes a difference if you need to take your stick anywhere.
mine is a permenant fixture in my gym bag.
it is a Palmate based soap and comes in 50g size, small but does last ages.
i find it easier and quicker to make lather with this than a tallow based stick.
it also feels slicker to me
the scent is a pleasant clean soapy smell which i like.
i remember one of the topics we had running on CONUK was based around wet-shaving supplies from your High St, could you survive?
i think we're pretty lucky over here as to the quality of this type of thing, lets face it, less than £1 for this and our other sticks :lol:
would i recommend this - YES
will i buy the refill when mine runs out - YES
the bowl has the same ingredients by the way and that's VERY close to Cade
that's right CADE
you have been enlightened
