Gandtee Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Does anyone know of a shop that sells shaving soap in the Pattaya area? I want a refill for my bowl of solid soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You may be able to find tubes of shaving soap in one of the bigger supermarkets, although they seem to sell mainly aerosols here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camillof Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Forget about solid soap or even shaving cream. In my experience, shaving gel is the closest match you can find here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) One has to say it. Of course available online from Lazada (and maybe others). https://www.lazada.co.th/shop-creams-foams-gels/?spm=a2o4m.pdp.breadcrumb.4.560762d1hWDRU8 https://www.lazada.co.th/products/wilkinson-sword-shaving-soap-125-g-i306646514-s533670110.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.7.187d66e2B34I7L&search=1 Have you checked Friendship (near cashier) and Villa already?

Pilotman Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I would imagine that Boots or Watson's are a good bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 3 hours ago, Dexlowe said: Hair shampoo. Cheap and lathers well. Ouch. Hair shampoo is a nonionic surfactant, not a soap. The alkali component of soap assists in softening the skin and opening pores so that the stubble is more readily removed. A good lather means nothing. It's wetting and dispersion that counts. Nonionic surfactants reduce the surface tension of water from 72 dynes/cm to 35 dynes/cm. Soap gets down to 25 dynes/cm. But if it works for you, fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter treated me to a Cyril Salter Shaving brush, safety razor and soap in a bowl. I've been shaving for 70 years and must say that the soap has given me the best shave ever and the razors last longer. I must confess to not using the Cyril Salter razor as I haven't used one for years, so continue with the Gillett throw away ones. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. I've no doubt I could get a refill soap from the UK but was hoping to get one locally. Maybe the local barbers could point me in the right direction. Straight out the door maybe.

TaaSaparot Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 This used to be discussed back in the day almost weekly in The Trink Page. If I remember right, the advice was Conditioner + ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Well, I wasn't going to contribute anything to this topic, because folks are creatures of habit. What the heck. I haven't used shaving soap/gel/cream/foam/whatever in more than a couple of decades. I use a good quality bath soap made with vegetable glycerin, but nothing particularly special in terms of natural additives. First rule is not to use a soap that dries your skin, which most mass market soaps such as deodorant and detergent types tend to do. First the wash, then the rinse, then lathering. Shaves just fine in the shower. Three of my friends have been doing the same thing for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right, the advice was Conditioner + ? I am sure it was hair conditioner with something else added? http://coolmenshair.com/how-to-shave-beard-using-hair-conditioner/ It is important to choose the right conditioner for shaving your beard. The best option would be a conditioner formulated for dry or very dry hair since this contains more silicone that can soften the skin and hair. You can prepare the skin and beard hair by washing it with warm water first. Putting a warm towel over the area and letting it stay for five minutes can give you the same effect as well. Next, apply hair conditioner on to the beard and massage into the skin. Use a smooth, massaging motion to help the conditioner get down on to the skin and allow it to sit for 3 minutes. For a smooth shave, use a generous amount of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canopus1969 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Here are 2 who are in Thailand although I must admit I usually buy from stores in the UK or USA and have them post items to me https://www.siamwetshave.com/en/ https://manofsiam.com/products/shaving-soap-thailand-jack-jarvis-cadwgawn?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn4XTlo-j3QIVkQsrCh3qWw4VEAAYAyAAEgI69vD_BwE I have Cadwgawn and it's a good soap - but prefer the A&E range - and should you need a cheap (and very good) brush then the Omega 10066 Boar from Siam Wet Shave is my daily preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare I say it, but very expensive. Maybe I can persuade my daughter who bought me the Cyril Salter soap and brush originally be given a hint to treat me to a refill of the soap while on her visit to England.

If you are lucky enough to have someone to bring back shaving goodies then that is by far the best way - and I agree Cyril Salter is good but be sure to buy the tallow based version ????

I don't know what version I'm using but it gives me the best shave ever and the blades seem to last longer. I've just been invited to my daughters in NZ for Christmas and I've hinted that maybe Santa will give me Cyril Salter shaving soap as he did last year. She is off to UK tomorrow for my grandaughters M.A. graduation so maybe she will visit Santa's gnomes at Cyril Slaters.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
