Burma-Shave Mug Brush And Soap Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for giggles -- I once had a similar Old Spice set many years ago, and remembered it fondly. It didn't fail me -- the soap smelled nice, though wasn't anything remarkable (if you want remarkable, see Col Conk), the brush was surprisingly good -- my eldest son confiscated mine. The mug is a classic that may one day hold coffee for me. Fun, inexpensive, and a great intro into the art of shaving with a mug and brush!

Porter's Badger Brush Shaving Outfit W/Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On the plus side, this is a nice mug and an ok brush. On the negative side, this is the worst shaving soap I've ever used. It's a shame, too, because the mug is so narrow (to fit the Porter's soap) that it will not fit any other soap.
I've tried several brands of shaving soap, including Taylor of Old Bond Street, the generic pharmacy brand, Proraso and Colonel Konk. They all perform better than Porter's - even the inexpensive generic from the corner store.
Regardless of how hot or lukewarm the water is, or how much you use, or how hard or soft the water is, or how much time you spend lathering, this soap just does not lather. It remains weak and thin in any case. It's also too small to fit in a normal shaving dish or mug - it will only fit the Porter's mug. Save your money and your skin, use Taylor of Old Bond Street.
