Hey everybody,
My name is Ben. Welcome to the Soap Thing project! I ditched the cartridge razors in spring of 2017 in search of something cheaper and more satisfying. My double edge shaving started with vintage Gillette Tech razors and slowly evolved from there. Any hope I had of saving money went out the window when I made this a hobby, but there are definitely far more expensive hobbies to throw money into. You can be sure of that. I started the Soap Thing project on April 03 2021 and I don't see an end any time soon. Feel free to watch, leave a comment, and hit the subscribe button if you enjoy the content. Shave like you mean it!

One of my favorites! It’s a bit dated for everyday use but I have it sprayed on my favorite cap for every day use.
I’m wanting to get a super slant but there are so many versions. and i have no idea which one to get but it’s definitely too expensive to just pick one all wily nilly you know. How do you know which base plate to get?
God job! Nice work, great shave!!! ❤❤
Spot-on regarding scent expectations setting us up for extreme disappointment. I've also had multiple experiences of having initially disappointing, disliked scents grow on me to point of craving them. Odd, isn't it, and I wonder about the psychology (or physiology) of our evolving responses to scents: how does a fragrance go from zero to hero?
Thanks for the scent descriptions. Can you contrast this sweet one-Smoke on the Water-with Armonía? Would also be nice to know where these scents fall relative to the Mammoth tobaccos, Shire, Smash, and Tobacconist.
Thanks for the review! I really wanted to like the supply SE (design looks so cool), but it was way too mild and like you, I kept doing passes and ended up with cuts and razor burn. I changed the blades and the same thing. I'm glad I saw your review on the pro version before trying that out. I went back to my DE safety razor and have nice smooth, close shaves.
MAGA! Great soap set! I'm waiting for the inauguration to shave and post a video! I had a BL Sabre and sold it. Found that a vintage GEM/Ever Ready razor was better for my face!
Hey! I believe that soap base is a Vegan base and not the Omnibus (Tallow). The same vegan base was used in the Roam 2 soap. I am starting to like the Denim aftershaves lately. Have yet to try the Musk offering. Take care Ben!
I've been out of the loop catching up on your videos. Great to see you back in the US of A!
Doesn't suck when the alumn block burns like hell from a bad shave .
Does it smell like cats and dogs?
Good shave!
MAGA! God Bless America! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🦅
I wonder what Trump uses to shave. I figure him for a cartridge guy. What do you think? 🤣
@@Orcasrule6355 He probably uses that outrageous Gillette Labs heated razor that’s like $200. And it’s probably huuuuge and gold plated 🤣.
Another entertaining video, Ben. Good to see you so positive, in spite of the SE razor trying to spoil the party! If you lose any subscribers, the US must be even more divided than it gives the impression of being! Looking at it from the outside (I’m not American), it seems clear that the Dems didn’t realise the election was about THEM - and not about DJT or the GOP. They (Dems) are going to have to do some soul-searching - if they’re capable of it. Cheers. 👍🪒
Thanks brother for doing the video!! We're happy you liked DJT MAGA!!
You don't need that hat to tell that you are a Trump fan. I can tell by your misshapen face and trouble thinking like a literate adult. 😂😂
I've been eyeballing this set and will be picking up after the holiday season.
Great hat ….. the shave not so much 😊. Get rid of the razor? Scent sounds great
I have that same hat but in camo! 😁👍🏼🇺🇸
👍 on the shave and 👍on the election results
Congrats on the election result, if that was your guy. I hope it works out. Time will tell, of course. The soaps looks fantastic but I would not recommend the DJT stock! 😆 Have a great weekend.
Been using DJT all week in celebration while using all the tears to make my coffee taste better. Thank you Lord the Republic is still alive. 🎉
This soap is not a lather monster but the face feel is wonderful!
denim is such a classic, got one in a local polish pharmacy in ireland for 3 euro. sweet !! great shave dude
By the way what is your post shower skin feel with the bar soap bro?
The new formulation is without Tallow. It still has Lanolin which is not actually a fat but more of a wax I believe.
I'm down to my last 1 1/2 tubs of original roam. Sounds like roam two might be worth trying For someone who likes the off-putting original
Ah, Ben. Another top video. Castle Forbes is good stuff, no doubt about it! You won’t agree with me, but I think the irritation under your chin is caused by sideways movement of the razor. My suggestion: either go straight up from your Adam’s Apple to above your chin, or straight down. You can maybe try sideways after your first full pass (when some beard reduction has occurred). In this video, you went straight to the sideways movement as part of your first pass (and then did quite a lot of buffing). I know, I’m full of it, but that’s how it looks to me. Mind you, I grew a goatee because I hated shaving my chin! I’m still hoping to see a shave during one of your hikes… Cheers. 👍🪒
@@jmw3938 That’s actually not the worst idea 💡. I’ll give it a try next time. Thanks for the tip!
Good looking shave Ben👌🤠👌
Are you unpacked yet, at your new home?
@@steveboyd3455 Mostly. A lot of my shaving stuff was left in boxes to be sold. There’s some boxes here and there of stuff I just don’t care to deal with right now, but I’m mostly settled in.
@@soapthing Good. Are you doing a video about what you will keep and what you will sell off, and why? I would be interested in what you see as core to a collection. In any event, take care and enjoy.
@ that’s actually an interesting idea. I’ll look into it.
That was a very good shave Ben
Thanks for all of your shaving videos. I just watched a vod from a couple months ago where you talked about getting out of the active collecting hobby. For those of us who just want a better than cartridge shave, your videos will remain a great way for us to immerse ourselves in the culture and technique of DE shaving, even if we're not that interested in collecting. Thanks again for all of the hard work putting this impressive body of shaving knowledge together. Good luck on your future projects.
good video 👍
Glad to see you back.
Lightning worked fine...and thats that 🎉🎉🎉
I’m thinking the winning razor has more blade feel because of the way the blade is torqued and will not likely flex as easily as the Merica.
I’ll stick with the Nivea Men sensitive gel, just has a much better glide to it. But I gotta say, those sensor blades are awesome
Yeah... I swapped to this, and i'm not sure if I like the Sensor or the Excel is better for me. I think the standard sensor is best for "can foams". then again i'm a Nivea men user so doesn't bug me too much lol Nice vid.
Lighting works just fine.
Thats a spooky house to be in for Hallowe'en! Good luck! 😳
I hope B&M will do one day a crowd pleaser scent, maybe some aquatic/musk one. As it is my top 3 soap bases. For now my fav is waves.
Welcome back! Excited to see all your old gear.
Video looked fine Ben...not a lot to distract the viewer. Take care!🪒🪒💈
I love B&M scents, very unique in comparison to other Artisan soaps. The Four Horsemen: War is still my favourite scent over everything else I have 😊 Have a good weekend Ben 🕉
Yeah B&M certainly has some weird scents, especially his „Eigengrau“ haunts me to this day 😂 But as always of course YMMV
hi Ben,video quality looked good,another nice shave
Welcome home Ben!
Welcome back!
Some of their reasoning for justifying five blades instead of three blades is off. I found Gillette Mach3 to be smoother and give less irritation, AND NOT more tendency to get cuts, but LESS!
