Product Reviews of Col. Conk Worlds Famous Shaving Soap, Bay Rum (Net Weight 2.25 Oz)
Product Review: Much better than regular soap
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using an Omega Stripey badger brush for about a year. Until last week I was shaving with ordinary liquid soap which was fine. I only bought the Col. Conk's because I needed something cheap to get me over the free shipping minimum. As it turns out I didn't know what I was missing. The Col. Conk's produces a much thicker lather than ordinary soap and the shave is much more comfortable. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is the price, $5 seems like a lot for a small bar of soap. If they were to sell a 5 pack for $10 then I'd happily rate this at 5 stars.
Product Review: Never going back to the can.

MT double edge experience started last year at Christmas when I was given a nice Merkur, a sampler of blades, stand, bowl, brush, and a puck of the Col.Conk's Bay Rum soap. I have never looked back! Fewer ingrown hairs, fewer bumps, less burn, better glide and a GREAT smell. I have used both the Bay Rum and the Lime. While I like them both, I prefer the Bay Rum. I goes best with the Burt's Bees Bay Rum balm I use after shaving. The trick to getting the best really dense lather that won't dry on your face is to use less water than you think you should while whipping with your brush. I find using a series of small circles on my face to apply the soap helps my beard stand up properly. The glide I get from this soap is AMAZING and it doesn't leave you feeling overly tight and chemical laden like that junk in a can. Heck, it even tastes ok....no I didn't eat it, but have gotten it on my lips. A puck will last for months and smells just as good when finished as when it was opened. Maybe I got lucky, but I don't feel a need to shop for other brands anymore!Product Review: Nice price nice smell!

I started wet shaving with The Art of Shaving starter kit, and recently got a full sized kit (both were lemon).
I wanted to try some other soaps, and "Bay rum" sounded great! I'll say, I was expecting a more rummy smell and less bay leaf, but the smell has grown on me and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Unlike the art of shaving (casswell massey and many others are the same) this is a glycerin soap. So it's a bit softer, sticky, and seems to make a thicker lather, and takes less work to get to a lather. (Although still not as easy/thick as a cream but i like the soaps).
Also you can more easily smell it while shaving creating a much more enjoyable experience. The only knock is it seems like this will wear down quicker then the soap from the art of shaving... then again it is about half the price.
Great stuff, I'll buy another when mine runs out!

This is good stuff, I like all the col conk soap so far. The almond is probably my favorite but this has a really nice smell to it as well. I was in a shave shop recently and the owner kindly gave me several samples of sort of high end shaving creams to test out. I like this soap a lot better than any of the samples I tried, it just works a lot better for me. Lathers up nicely, smells good and doesn't dry up on your face while you're shaving. A bar of this will last quite a while too. I don't think I will switch brands anytime soon.Product Review: Nice soap

Nice soap with a good smell, it's in my rotation, but I find my self going back to Proraso, which is creamier: Proraso Shaving Soap with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol - Normal Skin 150ml/5.2oz
