Customer Reviews

Good Product - OK Container

The product works well and gives me a very good shave, but I hate the container. Just a bar of soap in a plastic container. Your probably supposed to open the plastic once and put the shave soap in a soap dish, but that doesn't really work in a shower.

Very Nice

I first tried solid shaving soap after I tired of driving over mountains only to find my shaving kit filled with the foam from a leaky can. Solid shaving soap not only solved the leaky can problem, it has a comparable price, lasts longer, takes up a fraction of the space and works every bit as well -- better when used with a brush (and even better than that with a proper up and down brush stroke.)

Colonel Ichabod Conk Lime Shave Soap is a glycerine based soap that is more expensive than, but superior to non glycerine based soaps such as Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Soap - 2.5 oz, or Williams Mug Shaving Soap - 1.7 Oz; however, Colonel Conk is slightly irritating, it stings just a bit if you leave it on too long (but stops stinging as soon as you wash it off.)

Colonel Conk is not as good -- or as expensive -- as the magnificent European shaving creams like Proraso Eucalyptus Shaving Cream Tube, yet it gives great lather and a buttery smooth shave with no need for aftershave (though you may still want one), and leaves a very nice scent that is light, does not overpower, and goes well with the classic light or citrus colognes.

Like all such soaps, Conk fits perfectly into a Dark Wood Shave Bowl with Lid. Make sure to use with plenty of hot water, a double edge razor and a good badger hair brush, and be sure to protect your brush with a good stand too, such as a Nickel Shaving Brush Holder.

Great Soap for the Price

This is a great soap for the price. It allows me to get a great shave and does not dry out my skin like other shaving products. The only shaving prep that I like better is Tom's of Maine shaving cream.
