Wild Seas Luxury Shaving Soap

What an excellent tin of work. Love the fragrance, love the lathering, leave it for a few mins and you have smooth shave! Love the fragrance as well. Wish they can make this in a tube as well. Shows passion that goes into it. One suggestion use a nice brush to foam up, avoid plastic bristle ones

It's a great soap for the price. Primary fatty acids are coconut oil and stearic acid, thus it makes a slick and moisturizing lather. Shea butter is cherry on top. I did struggle initially to build a stable lather due to sub-optimally bigger bubbles forming, but a little bit of elbow grease got rid of the bubbles and created a stable lather good enough for a 2-pass shave. Post shave feel (augmented with an alum bar) is soft skin free of any irritation/razor-burn. Shave info for reference - Brush used - Pink Woolf Boar 24mm knot. Razor used - Rockwell 6S (Pass 1 WTG - Plate 4, Pass 2 XTG - Plate 2) Blade used - Indian Astra SP After shave - BSC Post Shave Balm

TL;DR; Just bloody buy it already. Navjot Sidhu once famously said during commentary, "A good lather is half the shave!!" and I see the truth in that. For that, you need a good shaving soap and this product is exactly that. I'll just say that this is an awesome product. From the first glance of opening the package down to the end of the shave, it feels like it is a well made, well thought and a premium product. The fact that this is made in India is a cherry on the cake. I started using a double edge safety razor in the last 2 years and it has been a revelation. Razor burns have been next to zero. I haven't touched a gilette razor since then. I have therefore gone out and bought several shaving soaps mainly to try out various brands and also for their fragrances/textures. This Trigodon Wild Seas is absolutely right up there with the best and I've purchased both their fragrances on Amazon. Scent: I'm biased towards Woodland Umber because I love forests and hiking through them. But the Wild Seas fragrance is not far behind either and I love this too. The fragrance feels fresh, crisp and light reminding you of stormy seas. However, I do think the scent can be slightly overpowering (just a tiny bit and maybe Trigodon can reduce the perfume oils by ~5%). There is a review somewhere below that describes how important the 15-20 mins of shaving is in a man's life. I totally agree with him. A great fragrance can lift your spirits and enhance your mood. It will make your day by giving it a good start. Lather: Lathering is good, forms quickly and in about minute you have a rich, slick lather - not too runny and not too foamy either (I have a synthetic brush not badger hair). The soap provides good lubrication with the skin and the razor can do its job without giving any razor burns. So plus points to that. The lather also stays firm in the bowl, enough to last for a 2nd pass. Pricing: It is slightly on the higher side, but I'm ok with it considering it is an Indian product and I'd like to see more from a company that has already given us this. The tin feels premium, the scent is great and the lather is good too, which does justify the price in a way. I've been using it for the last 6-7 (not everyday) and it has lasted well. Materials: I liked how they packaged it. The box is neat and it contained a small note describing the soap and what Trigodon's philosophy was. Just makes the product more wholesome. The tin feels premium and the font on the label is good (could be a little bigger for older eyes). Just buy it. Buy both of them. And if Trigodon lists their third fragrance on amazon, buy that as well.

It comes in a lot of fancy packing. The price is obviously at the higher end. The literature that it contains sets high expectations. Just for some background: I shave every day before going to work. So I have to use a double edge blade and associated razor. So I have to do multiple passes and have to use a brush and hot water to shave. The packing is premium and they have done a good job here. The scent adds tremendously to the shaving experience. To me it felt rather luxurious to have that great scent while shaving. My shaving activity takes around 15 minutes a day. So having that great smell is just amazing. The lather is luxurious again. I keep repeating that word. But really, compared to the other cheaper shaving round and creams, this is in a whole different league. I was able to whip up a good lather on my imitation badger brush. And that lather lasted for the entire 3-4 passes of the razor. To me that's a big deal, because with other creams and rounds, I have to whip up a new lather every time I do a pass of the razor. With this, I just have to whip up the brush once and it lasts a long time. The shave was smooth, it's a perfect complement to the feather blades that I use. The container looks seriously classy, somebody has put a lot of effort in designing this product and it really does show. It does live up to the expectations. Will I buy this again? Absolutely. This is what has been missing in my shaving routine. Sorry for the long review, but I take shaving seriously.

This is my first time using a shaving soap. Trigodon is GREAT! The fragrance, the lather, the slickness, I Love it all!! I followed the blooming technique mentioned in their note, I put in a small amount of water to sit on the soap for about twenty seconds, poured the water down and then worked the brush around the soap for ten seconds and face lathered. There was plenty of lather! The lather was thick compared to the creams I have used in the past. The blade just glided through my 2 day stubble. This soap made a huge difference on the shaving part, the perma sharp blade shaved off my stubble effortlessly. I can't wait to try out their woodland umber soap but can't buy it anytime soon as I wont be able to take the heat from my home minister ;-p, because like all of those wetshavers, when I ditched catridges and bought DE razor & supplies I told her that I'll be saving a lot of money LOL. Anyways, this is must try product if you're into wet shaving. Trigodon - JOB WELL DONE!

I felt the need to come back and write a review after I realized I had bought this product almost a year ago - and Im still using it today! Super long-lasting and still retains its quality - really appreciate that! The scent is beautiful and is not too strong/overpowering. Apart from the clean shave, the best part about this product for me is my face feels so smooth and moisturized after I use it. I don't even feel the need to use any after shave lotion! Love the product - got a customer for life! Highly recommend!!

Excellent larger and smooth shave!

The soap lathers well and easy. I find this lather dries out on skin faster than brand name lathers. Well packed and a nice thank you card from the founder included. I'm sure most will find this product excellent to use, but for me, I just don't like the smell, which reminds me of Medimix hand soap. I won't use something fragrant if I don't like the smell. It's a lesson for me to smell first, before parting with cash.
