Tony.T said:I've just been looking on the 'bay (purely for research you understand) and discovered there is loads of artisan shaving soaps available- and most at very good prices.
Has anyone here bought and used any of these and if so can you give us some recommendations? A lot look very nice for little money.

Sharon (from Nanny's Silly Soaps) has offered some help and advice, for which I am really grateful. Better luck next time! On the plus side, my home made pre shave oil and post shave moisturiser have come out really well, so I'm not totally despondent.

I can only agree. I recently bought two soaps from Jabonman and they are exquisite. Quite soft, but a terrific scent and great lather. Highly recommended.
