Anyone use unscented soaps.

Lately I’ve been rotating a lot of different soaps (some new soaps) and started getting a bit of irritation. Just a bit of light redness…
Probably going to take a few days off from shaving.

Might have to go back to Mitchell’s after a few days off.

I just your post, Erchy. I have used only unscented soaps since 2016. There are many good options. I don't use MWF, as it does have a mild scent, but I my wife is very sensitive to smell and certain scents can trigger a bad sinus headache. But if it has worked for you, it sounds like a good plan.

My top 3 are all readily available. Mike's Natural Soap Unscented, Shannon's Soaps Nil, and Mystic Water Soap Sensitive Skin. All around $12 - $13 USD for a 4 oz tub.

Stirling Soap Company actually three unscented soaps! Naked and Smooth, Unscented with Beeswax, and Sheep. All three are fantastic, and the tubs are almost 6 oz!

Please feel free to send me a Private Message if you have any questions. I will keep an eye on this thread.

I think I just have way too many soaps LOL

Ive been using a different soap pretty much everyday.

I haven’t used Mitchell’s in about a year now though so I might give it a go again.

I just got 4 new soaps which I’ll get stuck into in about a week or two.

Damn this wet shaving hobby haha!!

And worth every cent in my opinion! Seriously…in the scheme of things what’s a few cents a day extra…I mean what are we really talking here…the price of a beer or at the very most two to step up to a great soap that lasts a few months?

Whoa! I was with you until you brought beer into it. Don't touch my beer.

Couldn't you have just said a Burger? Lol.

I've been using the HC&C Unscented soaps with some of their scenting oils. I will say the soap is outstanding.
