Welcome to the Shaving Soap Review Roadshow! I’m out of town for a bit, and travelling without checked luggage, so I couldn’t bring any DE blades, and frankly I refuse to pay $7.50 for 10 shitty Wal-greens brand generic blades, so the next few shaves will be done with a Bic Comfort Twin disposable.

First up, Honeybee Soaps and their Orange Burst shaving soap. The scent is basically exactly what you’d expect, a nice sweet orange cirtusy scent.

However, it’s not quite strong enough. I was a bit surprised, as I haven’t had that problem yet from any of Honeybee’s offerings, but I suppose you can’t expect a home run every time.

The lather however is still spot on from what I expect from Sue’s soaps. It’s a thirsty soap, but as long as you go ahead and use plenty of water, it’ll be put to good use. It makes a boat-load of thick slick luxurious lather, which makes for a great shave. Or, at least, as great of a shave as can be expected from using a twin-bladed disposable.

9/10 Scent Pleasantness

7/10 Scent Strength

8/10 Lather Quality (reflects new scoring as outlined here)

Overall, the weakness of the scent is enough to drop it down to a 7/10. Not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but not something I’ll find myself reaching for on a regular basis, especially when alongside some of the other Honeybee soaps.
