Edwin Jagger SSAVT Aloe Vera 99.9% Natural Traditional Shaving Soap 65g Travel Tub

I'm rather picky about what I lather up with. At home, I'm using a tub of  Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce , which will last me around a year (any Taylor of Old Bond Street product is highly recommended!) However, in this day and age, traveling with gels/creams/liquids is tough, when you want to carry your luggage. Shaving soap is the easiest answer to this dilemma.I've found this product to be quite up to task, lathers up nicely, and is very slow to dry out. The scent is not overpowering, but does leave a nice smell for the next hour. Most beneficial is the container - being a flexible plastic with a screw lid, it travels impeccably. I find that the little bit of moisture left in the container after use welds the product to the bottom, making it easier to use it later.One other comment: get a good badger brush (the best inexpensive one I've found is the  Tweezerman Men's Shaving Brush ), and dry it every time by squeezing it in a hotel towel. It won't make you forget about the good razors you can't carry with you, but you will have a long-lasting and TSA-compliant shaving system.

I love the Edwin Jagger shaving soaps and wanted to purchase this one for when I travel.

I'd been using some other brand of shaving soap (came from England, but I can't think of the name as I type this, and it ran out so I don't have the jar any more) for the past year. When it ran out, I thought it was time to experiment with some other soaps.This is one of them that I tried. Not only is it the best of the bunch I experimented with, it is really good. I don't like it quite as much as the other soap (the one I can't remember the name of), but this works very well.I have dry skin that is sensitive to soaps and the shaving process itself, and also have allergies/sensitiveness to scents and perfumes, and I have no problem with this soap. It has a nice smell to it, pleasant and refreshing, with no perfume or other gimmicky crud to make it smell "manly" or "rugged". It lotions my skin a bit, too, which is nice.It lathers up very well with my badger hair brush, covers my face nicely, and offers a smooth ride for the safety razor.

Hubby Loves This!!! The soap shaves better an is way less irritating to his skin than grocery store or name brand shaving gel or cream. We used to buy Gillette which we thought was a pretty high end product - but this is WAY better!!!!! The shave soaps last so much longer than a can of saving cream - he have gone through at east 4 or 5 cans in the amount of time a shaving soap bar lasts, it is way easier to travel with because it i a solid, Environmentally way more friendly because no propellants and no can to throw away or recycle. the oaps tale up less space in your closet than cans. And, the lather is way way more luxurious and feels great in the skin.. We'll never buy can of shave creams or gels again!

This soap is surprisingly comfortable. It lathers well and smells good. My only real complaint is that it tends to dry out on my face more quickly than I'd like, but as I've begun shaving a bit faster and with more water between applications, it's not a problem.If you're expecting a heavy woodland smell, you're in the wrong place. As commenter SF notes on another review, this soap has a hint of sweet-smelling sandalwood and isn't very strong. If you're not expecting this, you might even characterize it as "perfume-like", though it's definitely masculine. It's a fine, well balanced soap... if you like heavy wood, spice, and musk look elsewhere.Lastly, though it's only a couple of ounces, it lasts a very long time. It's a good size for travel as well.

I have used Proraso soap, Proraso soap for sensitive skin, Col. Conk, Proraso cream, TOBS and now Edwin Jagger travel soap. I want to throw this one out. I absolutely LOVE my Edwin Jagger DE89L razor and wrote a very positive review for it, but they should stay away from soap. If I absolutely need shave soap vice cream, I will use Proraso soap in the tub vice this one. The concept is great, but delivery left me wanting.Pros:1) Container size works for traveling if gone for a couple of months at a time and the lid screws on nicely.2) I was able to shave with it.Cons:1) Fragrance does nothing to excite the senses, and for me is disgusting.2) I cannot achieve a decent full bodied lather without adding creme, despite knowing how to use shaving soaps.3) Would have liked even a smaller container for traveling. I later bought two tiny plastic toiletry travel screw on lid containers made by the company iGo from Walmart for only $1.00 that holds a nice dollop of Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream or other soft tub cream, which will last 2-3 weeks and I am much happier. And in the end it will take up a fraction of the space as this Edwin Jagger soap. No I don't have iGo company stock. I just found a solution to problem.

I had read a lot about how shaving soap is supposed to be better for your skin than virtually all shaving creams, foams and gels. And since Edwin Jagger products seem to receive consistently high praise, I ordered this and a safety razor. I was VERY disappointed. This soap started burning my skin in less than two minutes. It did less to protect my skin than regular body wash. And it left a residue behind that was difficult to remove. Water did nothing to neutralize whatever ingredient was burning my skin. Fortunately, the facial cleanser I use did neutralize the shave soap. I do not recommend this product to anyone. And if this product represents the best in shave soaps, then save your money for a good gel. Despite all the complaints made against foams, creams and gels. None of them has ever damaged my skin. This soap certainly would have if I had not been quick to remove it.

Lathers up to a creamy, soothing consistency which contributes to a relaxing start to my daily routine.

Ras

Tiene un olor bueno, a limpio, pero no se queda luego en la cara.Hace una espuma considerable.A la hora del afeitado da una lubricación buena.Tampoco hay mucho más que decir, sus ingredientes son de buena calidad.

Ich habe die Rasiercreme meinem Freund vor ca. anderthalb Jahren geschenkt. Nach jeweils einmal wöchentlicher Nutzung ist diese immer noch halb gefüllt. Einmal mit dem angefeuchteten Pinsel Produkt aufnehmen reicht meist. Zudem ist der Geruch sehr angenehm und erleichtert die Rasur, so wie es eben sein soll :)

Mi piace moltissimo il profumo. Dura un'eternità e forma subito, dopo poche passate del pennello, una schiuma densa che rende la rasatura scorrevolissima.
