Hey, this is kind of embarrassing to admit but what is shaving soap and the brush used for? I tend to just use a regular ass skin cleanser and since I go clean shaven I never got a badger brush. Also the alum block sounds interesting.

EDIT: Just googled it and it looks like it’s just shaving cream but better in literally every conceivable way and badger brushes are just how you put it on.

Yeah it's exactly that. I used to use shaving foam but I think the lather from soap is better and easier to continuously apply, plus canned foam is very wasteful.

I kid you not I fished out some shaving soap I got for Christmas last year and used it instead of my shaving cream and I can’t believe the difference.

No surviving hairs, less cuts, it’s great!
