Reddit mentions of D. R. Harris Almond Shaving Soap in Mahogany Bowl

Just learn to use the soap you have. Lather & Wood is made by WSP using their "Formula T" tallow soap base; it's high quality stuff. It's just that lathering a soap is a little different than lathering a cream; you have to spend more time loading the product onto the brush, and you need to add more water. Once you have that dialed in you should be able to get great results.

Now if you want to buy more soaps anyway, you've come to the right place. IMO Pre de Provence is one of the best-performing soaps on the market, and it's an absolute steal on Amazon. Or how about a puck of DR Harris Almond in an attractive wooden bowl for less than $16? If you're willing to expand your shopping horizons, head over to Maggard Razors and take a look at the artisan products - there are literally hundreds of good options.

Try straight razor or safety razor shaving. Not trying to be a pretentious hipster douchebag encouraging you to buy a $200 dangerous straight razor with no experience. I got a $10 pack of 100 blades to use with my $20 safety razor. After I got comfortable, I got a (literally) $8 straight razor that I use with the same blades. A year later, my only expenses are a thing of shave soap, a sharps container for my old blades, a brush, and a brush stand that a folded out of a piece of coathanger that I colored black with a sharpie.

Is it a revolutionary shave, closer and more perfect than any expensive cartridge? Is every shaving session an equivalent sensation to making love with my face? No. It takes easily 1.5x as long, and requires more components, so I have to let my brush sit out and dry. Changing a blade takes a clear 30 seconds compared to the 2 seconds it used to. BUT, I make up ALL of that time and more with how little I have to run my blade under the water, especially if it's been a few days. And, after the initial, what, $60 investment, I shave for like $10 a year now? And a get a fresh blade every 3 shaves. It could be every shave if I wanted, you snap the 10¢ double edged blades in half for the straight razor, that's five cents a blade. Take that, Dollar shave club. I'm in the six cents shave club, assuming a $10 brick of soap only lasts a year, which it's usually a month or so over.
