I was wondering some things about the col conk soaps, like how well does it lather and are the scents overpowering or more mild? I have a sample pack on the way from the whipped dog and just wondering what I should expect.
I do not remember them being over powering. A nice plain Jane type soap. I liked them as I recall. It has been awhile since I used any of them though.
Like Primotenore, I found them decent (purchased a sampler) but there are a lot of other choices that perform better. Not bad for the price though. Sent via mobile
I used Col Conk Lime for my Shave of the day on 02/24/2017 It can be lathered, but I'd say the scent was on the mild side. It's not a "soap" of the old fashion tallow type. More a vegan / glycerine type. I bought a puck, warmed it in the microwave to melt it to fit the dish shown. Haven't used it much. It's OK but not spectacular in my view.
Col Conk glycerin soap is just ok. Not terrible but there are glycerin soaps out there that cost less and perform better IMO. But Conk is not bad and hopefully it will work well for you. Make sure to load plenty of soap and slowly add more water. Just a word of advice, I highly recomend you do some reaserch or ask questions before ordering shave soaps, it can save you both money and agrivation.
My first soap was the High Desert Breeze. I enjoyed the scent, but it wasn't overpowering at all. I recommend getting a bigger dish, and melting the soap into that to give you more to work with. I did it, and it made a big difference. i also soaked the puck in warm water for a while (while it was in its own container). That also helped. So it will work, but there are better soaps out there. On the plus side, if you can lather Conk you can lather just about anything.
I'm a research freak.....I have two soaps I hope to buy before the year is over, and I like what I've read about both so far.
They are so-so. You should have asked before. No worries. Buy Stirling soap and Barrister and Mann soap.
Well I had purchased the sampler pack to try something different, and who better to buy from than the person who gave me a lot of information on sr shaving and gave me a great deal on a truly shave ready razor. If not for him I wouldn't be using a sr. So thank you to the men who try to help others.
Col. Conk lathers well for me and does the job. The scents are all rather mild and go away fairly quickly. It is a good cheap soap. I have Bay Rum, Lime, and Amber.
