I was t Meijer today with my cuz and we were in the shaving section. While he was looking foa a new shaver I seen "Williams mug shaving soap". Ive always wanted to try it and see if it worked so I bought a bar and a brush.

Not quite sure how to use it. Isn't like my can of foam and Mach 3 Turbo Any tips/suggestions?

Foam and a good razor are the basics.

The brush you speak of is uneceesay in my opinion.

Shaving post showering is best for prepping the face.

Add what the Okinawan barbers taught me add water to the foam as your applying it.

Cold water rinse of the the face post shave, like icing a boo boo, therapeutic.

Shave in the shower .

I've got a Mach 3 blade in my razor that has been there for 6 months and still cuts good.

Place soap in mug

Put water in mug with soap in it

Take brush and rub it on soap to create lather

Rub brush on face

Shave

Repeat as necessary

Use TP for cuts, Midol for cramps

+1, no mess, less razor burn and blades seem to last a lot longer

Jeez, I just use the lather from my bar of soap to shave in the shower.

But then, I only do that every 2-3 weeks when I've had a long weekend and my electric cant hack the stubble off quickly.
