The Many Uses of Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap: Shaving Soap

Dixie

Shaving cream and I will never be friends. I just don't like it. At $3 a pop for the cheapest, and I do mean CHEAP, cream it isn't really that expensive, but it just seems so expensive. Each bottle lasts for only a few weeks, you have to use so much product each time, and the empty bottles create so much waste. There is a better way. For the past ten years, I've used shave cream or gel maybe three or four times. For a while I used Suave conditioner, which does a decent job. Then I discovered Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap. The late Dr. Bronner claimed that his soap had 18 different uses; well, it has a lot more than that and shaving is only one.

So Relaxing: Made From Earth Lavender Calm Soap

Dixie

Full disclosure: Made From Earth provided me with a free bar of soap to try and review. Had I not liked the soap, no review would have been written.

I have a weakness for soaps. And I have a weakness for a good lavender. Finding a good organic soap has gotten easier in the past few years, but finding a good lavender is still hit and miss. Some lavender products smell like old lady laundry, some hardly have any lavender smell at all. Neither of those things are particularly relaxing. But a good lavender can help you start your day off right - nice and relaxed before you go to work and all hell breaks loose.

I'm about to Get Up on My Soapbox: Made from Earth's Blood Orange Soap:

For fall, winter, and spring, I am all about the shower gel.  But summer?  That's another matter all together.  In the summer, I want something that is going to leave my skin feeling nothing but clean.  I want something that's going to cut right through the sweat and sunscreen.  I want to leave the shower feeling like I'm the cleanest thing on the whole effin' planet.  In the summer, I break out the bars of soap.
