I use Pears Transparent and Wrights Original as preshaves
I also use Imperial Leather to wash, which also contains glycerin
Look forward to the test. How do you use it as a preshave? I apply it and lather it up before each pass. I don't rinse it off before applying the shaving lather
I would try and get an SLS free aqueous cream if you are not already...I've been using aqueous cream. Not sure if it's a silly idea but it's marketed on the side of my tub that it's an alternative to soap and I find it definitely helps with the glide of the shave and softening the stubble before it.
I'm not entirely sure it doesn't affect some creams or soaps from lathering as well as they should, but I am going to stick with it for now on most shaves as I still get a lather going. Sometimes I use no pre-shave and sometimes I use aleppo so I'm not among things easy for myself. I could leave use no pre-shave and leave the soap/cream on longer but some will dry out quite quickly.
I'd have thought the aleppo soap would affect lather as it has olive oil content but I haven't noticed anything significant so far.
I bought this in 2008. I used it a few times. I imagine the ingredients are not much difference from the standard soaps. I might add another to my next order...Off topic I know, but I was browsing the Droyts website and saw they sell shaving soap.
Anybody tried it? I might just give it a go at £3.25 per bar…
Had one of the Droyt shaving soaps unopened in my stash for a while. Following seeing this thread I tried the soap, produced a thin airy lather, that did disappear a bit, shave was not too bad, with no nicks. Lack of cushioning was a bit disconcertingOff topic I know, but I was browsing the Droyts website and saw they sell shaving soap.
