Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps and Shaving Gel

[hotwheels]

I use and very much like Dr. Bronner's soaps, but I have never tried any of his shaving gels. They are all fair trade and organic, the price is reasonable at $9 for a 7 oz tube. They have lavender, spearmint, tea tree, lemongrass-lime and unscented. Has anyone tried any of these?

I use this 3 dollar soap I get at the drug store. Van Der Hagen I believe it is. I bought it for the brush and the bowl, and ended up liking the soap so I just buy that.

I did try another drugstore brand in a white/blue box, and it sucked! Left my face dry and had no lubricity compared to the Van Der Hagen in the green and tan box.

I use their soaps. Like the tea tree oil one. I only use water to shave, no mirror.

Van der Hagen shaving soap isn't bad. It's my go-to substitute when I'm on the road and I have forgotten my shaving soap at home. Every Walgreens and RiteAid even in the most remote pit carries Van der Hagen. I even bought their cheap brush once, because I'd left mine at home. For under $10, the brush was not half bad either. To my great surprise I saw a while ago that Van der Hagen sells a TTO DE razor for a bit over $20. I presume it's a rebranded Chinese razor.

Do you still have to use some post shave lotion, or does Dr. Bronner's shave gel condition the skin sufficiently?
