Old vs. New. How much better are modern artisan shaving soaps?

[@Leenunes007]

"Good use of bears"😂

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Hehe

[@guitarplayer5611]

What is the brand and scent of artisan soap and aftershave you are using?

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Areffa Soap areffasoap.com/en/

[@unclelshaves]

Nice comparison shave Johan ... I agree : Yes we can still shave with the old traditional soaps & creams (and I do quite often), they give us a sense of history and yes modern Artisan soaps enhance the lather performance and aftershave experience for the modern Wet shaver.👍🤠🤟

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

That's a very good summary

[@drunkn711]

Nice comparison shave Johan! You might feel more of a difference between the two using a DE, but you'll probably still like the artisan more 😎👍 Have a good one! Steve

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Hey Steve. I feel it's less important when I use a DE.

[@JMac.]

A nice shave and comparison. I don’t really have many legacy soaps yet, mostly use artisan soaps now and even than I stick with a small handful of brands, they have everything I could ever want in regards to slickness, performance and post shave feel. Have a good one Johan!

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

You are right, one probably doesn't need a hundred soaps...or?

[@JMac.]

@@Shave_n_Butcher I still need a hundred soaps… gotta have all those nice scents!

[@Gooner_Mo]

If you’re n Jermyn Street you also have Floris and if you walk up to Piccadilly you have Santa Maria Nouvella too

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

I have walked passed them, but next time I will try to get time to go in

[@seanstapelfeld]

We the people want the axe back! Great shave!

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

I'm afraid I used it on wood today so shaving is out of the question

[@Gooner_Mo]

Good shave by the way and I’m still enjoying my straight razor journey. Not upgraded from the Gold Dollars yet but it will come

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Thanks and glad to hear it

[@whoaskedforthis]

very funny opening - great show.

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Thanks a lot!

[@talega1]

You made me a Tarot believer........ . Grooming Department Kairos ....Coats....is also good, bit strange smell.

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Noted - thanks!

[@RonnieYates]

Nice vid. Agreed that artisans is a bit better. Better post shave when dry out and residual slickness however the classics have their place and work. Tobs Jermyn st is just a great scent. I like the look of that razor. Take care.

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Thanks Ronnie!

[@billm.2677]

I have not used TOBS in a while, I gotta get mine out.

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

They make great scents

[@eivindkaisen6838]

No Areffa soaps here (yet) so I cannot compare them with the TOBS I've got - very much classic scents: Sandalwood (as soap), rose, lavender, and royal forest (creams). I did have an almond-scented cream but the scent died on me after about a year; maybe it was too subtle, maybe it's my nose. I don't have TOBS's grapefruit but maybe the Master Soap Creations Grapefruit Zest will do?

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Oh the Master makes great soaps

[@razormichl2004]

nice comparison !!

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

Thanks!

[@steveboyd3455]

"How much better" implied some level of rigorous evaluation with qualitative detailed analysis and a careful methodology which was thankfully lacking, given who needs that when one is trying to chill out and watch a video after a long day! 😂

[@Shave_n_Butcher]

The answer is 42

Always quality with you Johan ! I still don't have a Wade&Butcher 😕. I don't have you on my social media 😢 ....I made a hatchet shave you might enjoy ? ( tomahawk to be accurate) 😆 loved your 🪓 🪓 axe video !
