Pre - Shave Soap

[MPF9]

I never mention it but part of my pre -shave regime, is to soften up my face/ beard with a wash using a glycerine based soap. Originally used to use Ach Brito, but now use Heno de Pravia-Glicerina which is inexpensive and seems to work. This firm produce some quite nice ordinary Toilet soap which I use in the Shower.

I like Heno de Pravia goods. The big bottle of cologne works great as a cheap AS and has a fresh, summery smell that’s not feminine. Gives me that ‘on holiday in Spain’ vibe after a summer’s shave on lovely day. Magic!

I got mine from Gemstone Shaving who are also a great resource for blades like Gillette Platinums, a favourite of mine.

They offer Shaving goodies at reasonable prices. Though out of Vitos Super Red

AFAIK Vito's have ceased production of the tallow barber blocks, although there is still leftover stock on eBay. I've got 80% of a Super Red block stashed along with an unopened Green

It's probably due to my skin, but after even washing my hands with a glycerin soap, i get an awkward feel that's almost unbearable. And it gets kinda "grippy" when hands are rubbed together, almost like those silicone coated work gloves, but without the stickiness...
