Here it is. What you've all been waiting for. My DRH Lavender vs CRS shaving soap comparison.
I'll use the same hardware set-up for each shave and will each soap 3 times before moving on to the other soap. I'll start with DRH. Here's the enduring set-up:
Razor: Mühle Rocca V4
Blade: Gillette London Bridge
Brush: Simpson CH2 Best
Splash: Speick
I've purposely chosen a slightly aggressive razor to test the soaps properly.
Let's have a quick look at the soaps. Both of mine are in tins and therefore not particularly photogenic. The ingredients lists are nearly identical apart from the last 3 ingredients. CRS seems to have an extra couple of 'things'.
CRS:
DRH:
From the tins, both smell identical. If there's a slight variation, it's ever so tiny and could be due to any number of factors.
What are we hoping to gain from this? Merely a subjective assessment on whether or not these are the same soap.
