Wild Seas Shaving Soap

First off a bit of background. I've been wet shaving for approximately 4 years. Early on, like many others, I felt compelled to sample as many soaps, razors and blades as possible. I've tried all of the "must haves". I quickly learned which soaps and razors I seemed to use the most. Mostly tallow soaps. Mostly medium to mild razors and blades. I have normal to slightly sensitive skin. Enter Trigodon soap. Very nice aluminum container. Wide enough to load a brush in---I bowl lather. Scent is mild. Very pleasing scent profiles. Present throughout the shave. Very nice! Lathering is extremely easy. Thick, creamy and glossy lather. Tight, dense bubbles. BTW I use mostly Omega and Semogue boar brushes. I have two synthetics which get some use as well. The lather spreads easily. Does not dissipate in any way. Easily lasts the entire shave. A warmed ceramic bowl keeps the remaining lather warm for the next pass. Razor glide is smooth and fluid. No skipping or stuttering as I pull it along. Easy WTG and XTG passes. I never do ATG passes. I dont chase BBS shave at all. I am perfectly content with DFS. Post shave was very nice. I couple of my tallow soaps did a tiny bit better but not by much. And they are double the price. My skin felt smooth--not dry. Normal--nor tight. I could have skipped post shave routine if needed. But as many wet shavers know the post shave routine is equally important---if not as much fun as the actual shave. I equally enjoy the preshave, shave and post shave portions. Post shave is very very nice! I did skip all pre shave products while initially testing this soap. In short this is a very very nice soap. A budget standout in all areas. Scent is very nice. Dissipates after shave as not to conflict with aftershave or cologne. Lather is thick, long lasting, creamy and cushioning. Post shave is excellent. I could easily skip post shave balms in summer months. I enjoy balms in winter for the extra protection. All in all a great soap at a great price. YMMV but I am extremely pleased with this product. I purchased two and will probably purchased the 3rd scent as well. I wish this company continued success. I hope folks discover what an excellent budget shave soap this is.

I ordered this having never heard of this brand, admittedly because the tin looked cool. The ingredients sounded good, so I took a shot. I'm a 40-something woman who uses soap & a brush after years of canned foams & gels that always left my skin irritated & dry. My regular soap rotation includes Cella and Proraso. I ordered all 3 scents of the Trigodon - Woodland Umber, Wild Seas, and White Dunes. Woodland Umber is probably the most masculine and woodsy - "wet forest" comes to mind. Wild Seas & White Dunes both smell fresh & oceany (but not coconuty) with a hint of citrus. The scent on all 3 is very light and not overwhelming, and I don't notice a heavy fragrance when I lather - but bear in mind I'm also not lathering my face as a man would, so your mileage may vary. The texture & performance of this soap is almost identical to Cella, if you're familiar with that, although Trigodon seems firmer/harder than Cella. I added a tiny bit of hot water to the top of the soap and let it sit for maybe 3-5 minutes, poured most of it off, and spent maybe 5-10 seconds loading my wet brush. I didn't need anymore time because Trigodon lathers incredibly easily and quickly straight from the tin, and produces a lot of thick, rich, stable lather. Close shave with no irritation or dryness, and clean rinsing. I will take it a step further & say this performs slightly better than Cella. If you like Cella's performance but don't like the fragrance, or just want to try something different, I would highly recommend you give this brand a shot. Also, the metal tin has a screw-on lid and seems like it would be excellent for travel, and is a nice standard size that would be reusable for other soaps once you empty it. I am enjoying this soap and it will be a new regular in my rotation.

I don’t know what to say! I’m a veteran wet shaver and I’ve never experienced a soap that was so good and so bad at the same time. The performance of the soap is top notch. It’s right up there with the best soaps I’ve used. It’s easy to work up a superb, creamy lather with wonderful cushion and glide. But, the scent... this is where I’m speechless. Awful, is one of the only words that come to mind. I don’t even know how to describe it other than vile. I’m wondering if I got a bad tin. It’s honestly hard for me to believe that anyone could find this scent pleasant. It’s a pity, because the actual shaving experience is fantastic. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can get beyond the scent. If the soap smelled even remotely nice, this would be a five star review ...

I am novice to wet shaving but have finally just about chucked my electric shaver. After using up the shaving cream that I purchased with a kit from my local boutique shaving shop, I decided to try shaving soap (supposedly better and cheaper per shave). Trigodon's Woodland Umber soap is my first try and I love it. It lathers great, goes on great, smells great, and over the last few weeks of consistent use, I can really tell my skin looks and feels so much better. The steely canister looks cool and is really easy to use. As a newbie, I liked the QR code link to a youtube video on how best to use the product. I will definitely be sticking with shave soaps and will try some of Trigodon's other scents. Good product over all.

Great soap that smells amazing. Great slickness and glide. I was reluctant to try as most vegan soaps dont provide much cushion, but this one does. It is a very thirsty soap and doesn't seem like you load a lot on your brush, but use a little extra hot water (or bloom water) and BOOM lather explosion. This soap will last a long time. Comes in a quality tin and smells like clean linens

I bought this shaving soap for myself. I have used several different soaps in the past and this one is one of the better products. It has a pleasant scent and forms a nice thick lather. It washes off leaving your face feeling well moisturized and not that tight feeling you get with some soaps.

Royal, luxurious feel shave. Was reluctant to get back to shaving soaps but glad I did. My shaving ritual did not take any longer and was a luxurious experience. Was able to get amazing lather and the after shave fragrance was great. Awesome Product!

Was looking for something new, had been using vikings blade for a while. Really liked the thickness of the foam, and was v smooth. Wonderful scent too! - sometimes I just open the box and sniff at it for a while. Look forward to trying the others!

I shifted to shaving soap after decades of shaving foam after accidentally sampling one at a hotel. Shaving soap gives a superior shaving experience. Trigodon Wild seas is a wonderful product and you will not be overcome by the smell. It gives a rich lather and a very smooth shave. It will not pinch your pocket as the tin will last long. Go for it , you will not be disappointed .

I have been using this product for a while now. I love the fact that in less than 7-8 brush strokes the shaving cream lathers for a shave. I like unscented products. It suits my purpose perfectly.

Well before buying I was little hesitant to by or not to buy this product since lot of products are being manipulated by companies but I too the risk as I was buying two in quantity I’ve reduced it to one. Believe me I am true user, everyday I need to do shave before office this is really great and awesome product. It’s value for money and very very easy to use just need few brush swipes on soap and here you go with rich lather form on ur face. My Bombay shaving doubled edged Razor was cherry on the cake. No cut no irritation smooth with fresh sea breeze fragrance. Guys just give a try it’s for everyone from daily shave to weekend shaved you will enjoy this experience. I am planning to buy 2-3 view sometimes stock doesn’t come. Well this is genuine review you can check my profile to I’ve bashed products left right and centre of its not meeting quality. My only aim is to help the person who’s actually looking for some shave soap/ cream or form to let him know my experience. I am shaving since 15 years from my school days till now. Believe it or not this is worth a try.

Nice soap. Lathers well. The scent doesn't stay for long but does the job well.

Solid product. Box and soap, both are impressive. Looking forward to shave everyday since I bought. Once you get hang of it, it really becomes addicting to shave with good shaving soaps.
