Alpha: An All Natural Shaving Soap By American Vintage Soap Company

[@TubaraoCK6]

it’s very impressive how these artisans are able to improve organic vegan soaps each year. I remember a time where if you wanted to go the vegan route it was common knowledge you were giving up performance but not anymore. they are masters of their craft I have the upmost respect for their dedication

[@MarkSzorady]

Great points! Many wet shavers will agree simply based on how well these soaps perform for them. Thank you!

I like it!!! Nice job Mark!!

Just wanted to add some things, the black jar tubs on the Etsy site have added olive oil which results in a slightly different lather and post shave feel, and are also bigger at 8 ounces instead of 6 like TFSS. The goal with TFSS was to make it as minimalist as possible, all-natural, great lather AND slickness, and easy maintenance (razor clog, sink clog, etc.). This final recipe just seemed like the most balanced in those regards, and was the most upvoted internally among friends and family across all the iterations (some versions were thicker lather, some were slicker with less overall lather, some were light and rinsed off easier, the final recipe just seemed to balance the most of those). Anyways, thank you again for your kind words! Hope to do this again soon with another scent. Robert | AVSC

Robert, thank you for the additional information.:) I really enjoyed the shave soap and its all natural ingredients. Certainly one of the better all natural lathers, and I've tried a few. Yours is rght there at the top. so much so, I plan to use it again for my next shave.:) Thanks for the kind words and I'd be happy to discuss AVS anytime.:)

@@MarkSzorady Yes sir. Pretty soon will probably send over an Omega jar, as it is very Spring & Summer friendly/oriented, fitting for the coming weeks. Thank you again!

Just ordered off of Amazon the ALPHA Shave soap, it's a nice product. The scent is very clean and not overbearing, good for sensitive skin. I ordered a Karve overlander out of curiosity to compare with the Christopher bradley.

This soap sounds like one to use on July 4th morning or heading out to the ballpark- Have a great day and Take Care- Tell George Hey 😂😂👍✌️

[@MarkSzorady]

It's a nice scent. It has a sort of traditional vibe going for it.:)

[@kaiserrino8774]

I love natural products in general. So this is a great idea.

[@MarkSzorady]

Yes, this is a good one.:)

[@williammurphy1756]

Great shave Mark. Love cinnamon scent and will have to put this on my wish list. The Karve razor is also on my wish list and will be checking them out at the meet up. Have a great week. 👍

[@MarkSzorady]

See you at the meet up, Bill. Karve, as I recall, will be there. It's nice seeing their razors first-hand.:)

[@razormichl2004]

nice video Mark !!

[@marcobatelli9911]

Good morning Mark, congratulations for the usual interesting detailed clean shave seasoned with the proverbial sympathy. Have You a good day Greetings Marco

[@MarkSzorady]

Thank you, Marco.:)

[@marcobatelli9911]

Mark, forgive me for asking this but I have scrolled through most of your very interesting videos and I saw that you have never tried Stirling Ozark Mountain soap. It is a Scots Pine fragrance that recalls an old bubble bath from the 70s called in Italy Vidal. If you happen to have it on hand I would like to have your authoritative opinion. The mechanics are the well-known Stirling performer but I would like to know what you think of the fragrance of it which personally bewitched me. Sincere congratulations again. Marco

[@MarkSzorady]

Marco, my apologies, but I have not tried Stirling Ozark Mountain soap. It sounds wonderful.:)

[@marcobatelli9911]

@@MarkSzorady Besides, it's my favorite at the moment Mark and I suggest you try it as soon as possible.
