Nice shave man! Props for trying it! I think it goes to show that a slick lather is more important for a good shave than a super cushiony lather! With good technique of course haha
Hey Matt! Thanks so much for watching. Always appreciate you man! Yeah, had to give this one a go since this puck has been doing nothing but collect dust in my medicine cabinet. Guess I’ll have to keep it around instead of tossing it lol. I agree with you, “cushion” is definitely a metric that’s not really important when it comes to shave soaps. It has nothing to do with how a soap will perform, it’s more of a personal preference (as a soap snob like myself 😂). Hope you enjoy your weekend my dude!
Hey robert! Thanks so much for watching and your kind words! I always appreciate your support, and hope you are doing well over there! Yeah, thirsty soap for sure haha. But I’m surprised with how well this shave went today with a shampoo puck. You have a great weekend as well!
Hi Aaron. Great shave. I saw Soap Thing’s video and wondered if anyone else would do it. It worked out well for you. I have a few PAA shampoo pucks and never had a reaction or dandruff from using them. Take care and have a nice weekend.
Hey Lee! Thanks so much for watching! Always appreciate your support on my content. Yeah I'm pretty surprised with how well this shave went. I was about to throw out this puck but I'll have to keep it around for a bit longer. Hopefully we see others in the community give this a go. I'm glad to hear the shampoo pucks work out well for you! Lucky guy. You enjoy the weekend as well my friend.
Hey Ben, thanks so much for watching! And thank you again for the idea to shave with one of these shampoo pucks. I couldn’t resist giving it a whirl after I saw your shave. This puck has just been collecting dust in my cabinet for like two years, so I’m happy to be getting some use out of it again. Surprised at how well it worked out. I think if this was the only choice someone had for a shave soap, they could get by with it. It was certainly better than my experience with Williams mug soap. Have a great weekend and take care!
I have that shave soap and I love the scent! I wish I had gotten two tubs. Great shave! I will need to break mine out and have a shave with it! I hope they do re-release it again!
Thanks so much for watching Justlin! I appreciate you stopping by and your kind words! Awesome to hear you have the Big Shave East soap! Yeah, it’s totally a banger scent. Really not sure why they would get rid of it. Maybe it didn’t sell well, who knows. But really hope to see it return. Maybe I’ll bug PAA about it one of these days and see what they think 😂. Have a great weekend!
@@DoubleAshaves You’re welcome! Yeah I had just randomly bought it one day. I used it and I thought wow this is really nice! Have they brought back any of the big shaves? Yeah I will definitely keep my fingers crossed they do! Keep the vids coming I watch yours all the time! 😀
@@justlinscott4077 thanks so much :)! Will do! I think one of the big shave southwest soaps is still available. I sampled one of the aftershaves and it was awesome. But with PAA so much comes and goes. It sucks. The inventory is constantly rotating. But big shave East definitely deserves a re release.
Great Shave, Aaron! Using a PAA shampoo puck for a shave? I’ve done it before myself with Hotel Cecil. I didn’t have the same trouble you had when I used it as a shampoo though. Always enjoy your content.
Hey Billy! Thanks so much for watching today, as well as your kind words! I'm very happy to hear you've been enjoying the content. Hearing that always encourages me to continue making videos, so I appreciate that very much. Awesome that you did this with your Hotel Cecil puck! Love that scent. Glad it didn't give you the same issues as me. Keep on shavin' on brother and have yourself a great weekend.
Decent looking lather from that PAA shampoo puck. I have heard of some shavers using hair conditioner and also Sorbolene cream (Glycerine based moisturizing/barrier cream) but they don't tend to make lather, I don't remember trying them myself. Actually I use "failed" shave soaps/creams in the shower for shampoo/body wash (although I don't really need shampoo👴😂) rather than toss them away and any unwanted good soaps I will normally PIF to members of the local FB group (I also do a collection consolidation purge every now and then). Luckily I rarely get Frag burn from shave soaps. Have a great Weekend Aaron🤟🤠🤟
Hey Lawrie! Always appreciate you watching and your awesome feedback, my friend! 😎. Yeah, I’m surprised how well this shampoo puck lathered. This really wasn’t a bad shave to be honest. Definitely better than my experience with Williams mug soap haha. Interesting that some people use that hair conditioner. I suppose it gets the job done well if it’s all you have around. It’s slick, and that’s really all you need for a passable shave. Interesting to hear that you use your failed shave shave soaps in the shower. I’m gonna need to give that a go sometime! Thanks so much for the idea! This was a fun experiment that I actually enjoyed. I was ready to toss this puck but I guess I’ll be keeping it around for a bit longer. You have a great weekend as well 😎👍🏻
Usually expect any bar soap, skin cleaning soap, shave soap, hair shampoo; to serve well for wet-shaving purposes. That is "usually". The one thing that may be a problem, depending on how it is for any individual person, is any post-shave irritation. Lather may be poor, or fair or good, but what really is critical is the presence of irritation from use.
Thanks so much for watching! As well as the helpful info! I agree that most types of soaps make for a passable shave. This one went a lot better than I would've expected. A soap is a soap at the end of the day, it's just the high end shave soaps have a lot of lubricating/skin food ingredients added. Hope you have a great week!

I shaved with one of those shampoo pucks a while back 😅, it was quite an experience. I think your shave went better than mine. Take care now!
