Underrated Shaving Stuff

Nivea shave cream in metal tube. Available in your local brick and mortar such as Target.

Just posted this in another thread and I agree 100%

So somebody posted elsewhere that this cream has been discontinued? If so that is very sad as it was good stuff. I won't go searching for it if so, but that is kind of a bummer. I loved it in my travel kit.

From what I understand (not 100% sure), they have suspended its sales in the U.S. It should still be available elsewhere, and can probably therefore still be ordered through eBay and various other sites. Haven’t used it myself, but this cream does receive some very positive attention from time to time.

it was available at my local rite aid for a while before it was pulled from the shelves. I'm not sure why it was pulled, but it's no longer available.

Real Shave Company. Cheap, locally available (or at least it was) in Canada's SDM stores and made by the Creightons.

I've used a tube of the cream and it was fantastic. Generic, cologny type scents, but great lathers and shaves. Now this is a clear indication of marketing, hype, hooplah. It's made by Creightons, probably identical formula to T&H with different scent and about 1/4 the price.

I don't know if it is underrated but Wholly Kaw is one of the better soaps available. Either his vegan or tallow base. It doesn't get much use here but it is pretty popular on reddit. I have tried five different scents I think maybe more. Chypre Rose Concerto is probably the best rose scented soap I have found so far. Fougere Bouqet is a great floral fougere scent and Jamestown Gentleman is a really nice tobacco flower scent. The other offerings are really nice as well but those three are the standouts for me. He has a couple new ones that just came out and they seem like winners as well. The aftershave is along the line of the Fine Products and the scents are spot on for their soap counterparts.

Faena is another one that I have been really happy with. I haven't tried their soap that has lanolin just the original stuff. Tough to find sometimes and you have to shop around for the right price but so far I have been really happy with my purchase.

LaToja and Speick

If either of these were discontinued, people would be going crazy trying to snatch them up and claiming them the best shave sticks ever.

Count me in. I'd lose my mind.

All this week I have been using Shannon's Soaps, the unscented Nil. I just love this soap: great slickness and an easy lather. I don't see Shannon's Soaps mentioned much on the boards. It is a tallow based soap made in Ohio. Shannon herself has a degree in chemistry, and I believe got into soap making to make something good for her husband's sensitive skin. I use only unscented or fragrance-free products, and Shannon's Soaps is a regular in my shaving routine!

Shannon's Soaps! This is a really good shaving soap with excellent slickness and easy lathering. You're right, these soaps don't seem to get a lot of love on the forums.

Shannon started making soaps after she had a hard time finding soaps that her husband Brian could use, since his skin is sensitive and prone to irritation. So, I guess having a degree in chemistry, Shannon came up with her own formulas of all kinds of soaps with ingredients that her family could use. I think it is a nice story that goes along with really nice soaps. You can find the whole story on their website.

I have a couple of tins from before Shannon switched to larger wide mouth plastic jars. I just stumbled across a plastic jar of Shannon's Haymarket Vetiver shaving soap I had packed away, so maybe I need to take that one for a spin again soon. Thanks for the reminder about Shannon's Soaps! It definitely is underrated.

IColoniali Rhubarb cream, and Musgo Real creams. I don't even see proper reviews of them.
