$11.50 for the 5.3 oz tub from the same place as OP.

Yeah, keep the soap/cream in its container to load the brush and then build the lather elsewhere as you confirmed. Soaps are generally more dense so you can swirl them around in their own container and get some lather without using too much product, but with creams you'll find that a little goes a long way.

I love lavender as well. I do like the Art of Shaving lavender but it's admittedly pricey for what you get. Taylor of Old Bond Street has a good lavender cream (and really purple) that's quite affordable. Mitchell's Wool Fat is a classic in the wet shaving community and also one of my favorites.

For a post-shave you can look at Thayer's brand witch hazels. They have a variety of unscented and scented astringents and toners, including lavender.

Oops! Well all mistakes I've made I've made on my own. This is the razor I ordered: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CP27F5I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Why is the soap not so good? I heard good reviews of it online which is why I ordered it, would you have a different recommendation?

(This is the one I got https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031OOHB0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

And for posterity's sake, here's the brush. https://smile.amazon.com/Fento-Badger-Shaving-Safety-Straight/dp/B01EUG393E/ref=pd_ybh_a_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=031MRQJWNV2VPPZHHNSF

Thanks for the advice as well! I really appreciate it.

Thank you! I'll probably end up checking these out now 🙂 I got you covered for a good lather 💜

Depends on the type, but I can get two tubs of TOBS Lavendar two day shipped(Amazon Prime) from regular Amazon for $24.50 all the time.

edit for linkitude

Easy one for me. I'd skip the Proraso White and spend a few extra bucks on a Chosera 1k.

Proraso White made my skin tingle, despite being marketed as a "sensitive skin" soap.

Aside from that, I've been wanting to try an Omega Hi-brush for a while. Price seems kinda high, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the synthetic brushes I've tried so far.

Also, you mentioned you don't need any more soap, but TOBS Lavender. There are better Lavender soaps out there, but for the price TOBS is in my top three. I'm a big fan of Lavender in general, and I love how insanely heavy TOBS goes on the fragrance.

Lastly, CeraVe in the tub. The folks over at /r/SkinCareAddiction turned me onto this stuff. You use it after shaving, like a balm. Seriously, man. Seriously. This stuff is the shit. If you've never tried it, treat yo'self.

Also, Merry Christmas!

Questa l'hai mai provata? https://www.amazon.it/Taylor-Old-Bond-Street-Collection/dp/B0031OOHB0?th=1 A me attira alla lavanda...
