WEEKLY SHAVING SOAP REVIEW

Nanook said:
I tried various ways to try and get a lather that lasted but couldn't. The best I could get was face lathering with a synthetic brush. The slickness was fantastic and is great for a SR shave, but you just can't keep the lather from disappearing.

Well, I've tried both ends face and bowl lather, the cushion keeps disappearing, but, the protection of slickness still remain strong.

I haven't tried adding a few drops of natural glycerine into this kangaroo tallow shaving soap for bowl lathering, and see the lather holds the cushion from disappearing. Have you tried this?

A higher amount of Stearic Acid would help a great deal as it binds the bubbles together to increase the density of the lather. They use Natural Stearic acid anyways but I believe it may be in smaller quantities as compared to the other ingredients.

Olive oil would help too in generating a creamy lather. In retrospect I think even if the percentage of the ingredients used was adjusted, it would make a big difference.

Will try adding a few drops of glycerine too.

It's a body soap that they have marketed as a shaving soap. No matter what you do, you will never get a firm lather like you should with a proper shaving soap.

This is what I thought as well mate but the slickness of the soap is unreal and it would take a lot of time to actually wash it off.

To be fair to Aussie Tallow, a pal of mine uses their Tallow skin healing balm and apparently it is top notch.
