Expensive Shave Soap

Straight Razor Design Bulgarian Rose!

Just wondering if any "Rose scent" lovers have taken the leap
and tried this soap at $49.50.

 

Yes, that is quite pricey.... what is the size of the puck? It might be a mega?

Out of curiosity, do you know what the other ingredients are?

 

Does it come with a wooden bowl? That adds $30 to many other soaps, which would make it a $20 soap. Yet, somehow I don't think SRD will sell it as a $20 refill. But at least $20 is price I could consider.

 

Here's a page which sells Bulgarian Roser oil. It'S quite pricey.

I don't know how many ml oil is in one puck.

Here's the soap

So... how many did you buy?

 

wow thats a bit price i like rose cented soap but this is over the top myself i would purches pure rose oil and mix it with a non sented soapand that would do the trick and mutch cheaper,if tryed it a while back with my williams soap and it was great. great lather with rose scent

 

None. I stay with my Klar Kabinett and my QED Rose

 

I would have to say.....anyone who buys this soap is a little of their rocker or just has too much money to blow. I however was dumb enough to buy the EO Neroli soap during MB group buy. It smelled like some kind of small tree bark to me. I sold it off at only a $8 loss. I had the QED wild rose which was an FO soap and smelled heavenly. Didnt agree with my skin but still smelled great.

 

What are the ingredients of that soap?

Pure rose bulgarian essential oil - they say it's pricey. I'm a little cheaper, myself

So did you check out any of the reviews? What do you think?

 

Thanks for the link,so its just have pure glycerin and pure rose bulgarian essential oil...sounds interesting,I wonder how would perform....

 

If you want a rosey overkill get the Triple Rose SS from sorceress-products.co.uk I gave it away because there was really to much rose in it for me.

 

Well, at least you smelled the mailman holding the package before he rang

 

Well I guess if you could afford this brush,the soap should not be a problem

I got it as part of the group buy on SRP, for lather well I have several other SRD soaps the Lime, Sandalwood and Blood Orange which are all considerably cheaper they all lather great almost instant lather some of the easiest soaps to lather I ever used and they are all loaded with essential oils not fragrance oils, the soaps are very moisturizing for a glycerin based soap as you can practically feel all the essential oils in it when you lather it up on your face, they are all quite strong so I wouldn't suggest them to anyone with certain type of allergies but I haven't had any issue at all using any of them

they all smell very natural the lime and blood orange like real limes and oranges, the sandalwood same exact smell but stronger as compared to the QED sandalwood I just got from B&B recents group buy. the Bulgarian Rose smells exactly like Bulgarian rose oil to me real roses but without that sweet smell you get with a lot of other makers that use the cheaper fragrance oil,

 

Is it just me that finds it a little funny that a bunch of men want to smell like roses??

Ahhh....... To each, his own.

 

+1 My mom used to say "More dollars than sense" $50 would buy me about 3 years worth of VDH Glycerin.

 

I think they just want to stop and smell the roses occasionally

 

Among the best scents in shaving.

 

Agreed! I'm sporting some Murray and Lanman's Colonia De Rosas even as we speak. I like it alot and SWMBO says it's one of her favorites. Reasonably priced and very nice, gotta love it.
