I do not get a slick shave like I would with say gel shaving cream or any ...
by J. Nick (4 out of 5 stars)
April 24, 2018

This is one of the most unique shaving soaps I have ever used. Let me start of by saying I use a standard(modern) razor. Part of my experience may be biased towards safety razor users.

I have mixed feelings about this soap. Mainly because it's less soap and more lotion-y. If you ever had a massage with oil and alternatively with lotion you know that it doesn't feel the same. Oil is slicker and while lotion does lubricate it drags a bit. I do not get a slick shave like I would with say gel shaving cream or any other soap I have used to be frank about it. I also found that this soap tends to clog of my razor. Once again, I'm using a modern 5 blade razor.

So the positive stuff is that it does leave your skin really soft. It also gives me a closer shave which I thought I would never say about a shaving soap. My neck is particularity susceptible to always having a 5'oclock shadow even right after shaving. Now it looks clean like the rest of my face.
If you are okay with a bit of drag in your shaving I would highly recommend this soap. This soap is also safe to melt into your cup.

Read this review before deciding this product is too expensive!
by steven (5 out of 5 stars)
September 26, 2016

I am extremely happy with this shaving soap. I was reluctant to purchase this at first because I know my cousin buys his shaving soap at Walgreens for $3 but I decided to take the chance considering I have sensitive skin (more so on my neck) and I wanted to give this a try because Ive used the soap my cousin has and I wasn't all that happy with it.

This soap is definitely worth the price in my opinion. It is much thicker than the only you can get for cheap which makes it a little better value but more importantly it feels so much better. The cheaper soaps almost feel like they are suffocating your pores while its lathered on your face. This soap feels so soothing and actually leaves your skin feeling softer. If you've ever cut your self while using a straight razor (almost any beginner knows what this feels like) there is a sting that comes from the shaving soap getting into the cut. This does not happen with this soap. Very pleasantly surprise with the difference between this and other products. I will continue to buy this in the future.

Meh...
by Tim Lambert (2 out of 5 stars)
May 3, 2018

I purchased this soap because all of the reviews were glowing. After using it for a few months I can decidedly say, "Meh..". I'm not impressed.

I've used a couple of different soaps in the past ("Phoenix Godolier" and "RazoRock Don Donato") and I found the Henry Cavendish to be the most difficult to work with. I have a very hard time getting a thick lather. I spent the first month adding a little more water to every shave until I just decided to get my bush real wet and try to get as much soap on there as possible. Even with that, it's hard to work up a thick lather and what's worse I end up sending a lot down the sink after every shave. I tried ditching my mug and just applying to my face but then the brush gets all cold and the lather is worse.

Once it's on my face the shave is pretty smooth, but again, not as smooth as other soaps I've used. The smell is good and subtle but nothing to write home about.

I don't hate it but I don't like it. And frankly I don't know why everyone who has tried it loves it so much. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Or maybe my water is hard or something (Philadelphia City Water). All I'm saying is if you are looking for an excellent soap, look elsewhere.

It's just okay
by Charlitos (3 out of 5 stars)

I really wanted to love this product based on all the reviews, but I simply can't. After a month of using this product almost every day, I just can't recommend it to anyone to buy this soap.

Pros:

It smells absolutely amazing. It isn't an incredibly masculine scent, it is just a nice clean scent with a just the slightest cologne like smell.

It is a very easy lather to build.

It will last a lot of shaves.

Cons:

Even though it lathers very well, the slickness and protection just isn't there. Once you shave a spot, I wouldn't go over that same spot again because whatever you're using is going to basically stick to your skin and won't glide over.

It will last you a long time, I'm sorry to say but this is just one of those soaps that I might store up because I simply don't love it, I like it, but I don't want to use it all the time.

The price. For about the same amount, I will probably buy something else and have bought something else.

Mostly for this soap, it's about the lather. It lathers great, but like I said, there's no protection, the blade doesn't glide over and I can feel it after multiple passes (I don't use much pressure behind my DE, I use the weight of my DE, I've also tried it with a shavette, which went okay). I've tried it with more soap, I've tried with less soap when loading my badger, I've used varying amounts of water and I always let it bloom when I shower for my pre-shave. Either I'm doing something wrong, or the soap is just middle of the road.

I know a lot of people love this soap, but it simply didn't work for me. I don't think it's terrible, but it's not anything to rave about. Being that this is the very first Henry Cavendish soap I've ever used, I'm really sad that I won't be buying anymore of their products because this one simply didn't make me want to come back to it over and over. I'll probably still use the soap, but it isn't my go to soap of choice.

I actually like Henry Cavendish Himalaya Shaving Soap better than Taylor of Old Bond street....
by Jason Achee (5 out of 5 stars)
December 3, 2016

I have tried a few shaving soaps, and mostly used Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving soap/cream of the years. While I still love that stuff, I think this stuff is better. This soap leaves my skin softer and due to that I don't even use after shave cream/gel anymore. This stuff does not lather up quite as well as Taylor of Old Bond Street so that took a little while to get use to but I don't mind it now. Taylor is a thicker lather, while this is a bit thinner but it does the job and it does it well! I can't believe I found something I like better than Taylor. A couple months ago I decided to try Feather razors which I have used in the past but they irritated me before, but with this soap I get no irritation! I highly recommend it!

Shaving Soap That Works As Advertised - Here Is My Experience So Far
by Aje_s (5 out of 5 stars)
June 1, 2017

I needed a new shaving soap and decided to try Cavendish after reading the reviews. I started using it last week and want to report back that I have been enjoying it. This soap has been working really well for me - I have sensitive skin and it seems to protect my skin better (i.e., less razor burn) than the shaving soap I used previously (a different brand I also got from Amazon). The soap lathers up quickly and the lather holds well onto the face without rapidly drying up. I definitely recommend this product!

Very good product
by chuck (4 out of 5 stars)
March 4, 2019

This is my first experience with shaving soap, so I can't compare to competitors, only with shaving creams (Gillette Fusion and Pacific Shaving Co. Caffienated.) I tried this because I'm trying to cut down on packaging waste and eliminating hard-to-recycle containers (e.g. aerosol cans and plastic tubes) is one way to do that. I decided on this product for three reasons: strong reviews, value, and minimal packaging. I've been using the product together with a cartridge razor for about a month now. I've found that it doesn't lubricate as well as shave cream, and the lather doesn't last as long, so shaving takes a little more time and care. My method is to cover the puck with warm water and let it soften while I brush my teeth. I then lather my whole face, and then work up a thicker lather on one side only. I shave that side and then re-lather the other side. Finally I re-lather my neck. In this way I have a good lather under the area that I'm shaving. By following this routine I get a very good shave with this soap. From what I can tell after a month's use, the puck should last a long time. I'll continue buying this product for the same three reasons: it works well, it's a very good value, and it achieves my goal of not coming with a lot of packaging.

A Good Shave-Soap Like Your Father or Grandfather Used!
by Steven S. Greene (5 out of 5 stars)
February 18, 2017

I used this shave soap for the first time, last night. I had also purchased a new Austrian silver bowl for it, but kept my original boars'-hair brush. It did not take a lot of water to raise a good foam. What I really enjoyed from this shave-soap is that when brushed on, it did not feel heavy or oily. Even though I had not shaved in over a week, the soap did an excellent job of protecting the skin, yet providing a good, close shave, with minimal build-up on the blade and comb. And, when finished, it did not leave an oily residue on my face, either. It's a definite recommendation to users of traditional shave-soap.

"Meh" soap - but great customer service
by Cristian Ioan Tiu (3 out of 5 stars)
July 7, 2017

A little background onto shaving soaps. I wold give 5 stars to the following soaps: Mitchell's Wool Fat (it has perfect lubrication); Taylor of Old Bond St Sandalwood (nearly perfect lubrication) and Tabac (reasonable lubrication, but legend status). There are others who are good - e.g. Van Der Haagen Luxury which is not perfect but cheap). You might have noticed that lubrication is everything - I like sharp blades (Feather or Kai) and I prefer they glide well.

PROS: good fragrance (subtle as well as fresh and modern), lathers up very well, it has a nice consistency (does not melt between uses because of the water). Also, great, caring customer service - for this I should probably give it 4 stars, rather than 3, but I am rating the soap here. If they listen to these reviews and add more lanolin/glycerin to the soap there is potential for 5 stars here.

CONS: It's a small diameter puck. It fits into an empty can of Proraso so it has a small footprint if you want to travel, but the small diameter makes the lathering a bit different (although not difficult) than what I am used to. The worst part about it is that the foam is dry - that is, provides next to no lubrication. For those loving very sharp blades (e.g. Feather) that's an issue when the blade gets closer to changing time. This is why the soap deserves 3 stars - it does not make the blade glide very well.

gives a smooth and comfortable shave, and smells old-school manly without being medicinal
by Cougar24 (5 out of 5 stars)
July 17, 2018

I use this soap with the Cavendish mug and a badger brush from another manufacturer. It produces a thick lather with minimal effort, gives a smooth and comfortable shave, and smells old-school manly without being medicinal. I've contacted Loretta Green LLC (parent company of Henry Cavendish) to request an aftershave product of some sort in the same scent...it's that good.
10-15 seconds in the microwave melts the puck perfectly into a ceramic mug, and it lasts roughly 3 months of daily shaves with a few skip days. (Really...who wants to bother shaving on a Saturday morning?!) Great product, good price, 100% worth it.
