Review: Damn Handsome Grooming Company - Scotch Ale Shaving Soap by wutwutman on 16 Jul, 2013 13:21

OK.. this is my first shaving related review so bear with me. I've done tons of tech/computer reviews so...
I found these guys at my local farmers market. They are are based in Kalamazoo, MI but looks like they will ship where ever. I don't know about international.
I bought the Scotch Ale Shaving Soap. I'd never used shaving soap before but from all the info on this site I pretty much knew what to look for. I'm using a typical 1- 5 rating system. 1 = poor, 5 = Excellent. SO here goes:
Scent - 3. Smelled great but very faint and light and seemed to fade quickly. Overtones of spice, wood, and yes beer. Also had some faint tobacco elements..
Lather - 4. I thought it lathered up rather easily. I was prepared to do some serious twirling but it came pretty easy. Not a super thick lather but a nice smooth feeling one. Goes on easy and the blade glides thru it well. Got a really close shave using it.
Quality - 4 - Again, I don't have much experience with shaving soaps but this seemed good quality. It wasn't mushy but wasn't super hard. It was a tad softer than a typical bar of regular soap. And it is made from all natural ingredients.. no chemicals. Did I mention it has beer in it? LOL
Price - 5 - the price was $6 which is cheaper than their website price. Might have been a farmers market special...
Over all I give this product a thumbs up! I would recommend giving it a try....

good review! Sounds like it may be tallow based. Triple milled soaps are quite hard. Also keep in mind that the quantity of lather is secondary to the slickness of the lather. I think I'll check this one out
