Why can’t I find any fucking proper shaving soaps in Halifax? I shave my head, face and fucking balls with a straight razor. Is it too much to ask that someone in the vicinity of Halifax make handcrafted shaving soaps? I try to buy local, but I can’t fucking buy local if there is nothing to buy

Well Mr Christ…in any picture I’ve ever seen of you, you are quite a hairy guy, so I can only assume that you have been using what little soap you could find to shave only your nuts (I was thinking your fucking braver than me, putting a straight razor on your nads, but then I remembered…oh yeah…he’s Jesus…if you lopped one of them fuckers off, you probably just have to lay hands on yourself and grow another one back). Anyway, I googled Handcrafted Shaving Soaps In Halifax…and found a whole bunch of stuff. Have a look!!
Shopper’s has an entire section with random shit like that? What planet do you live on? Also, what year are you from? Straight razor? Come on buddy it’s not the 1800’s.
my family makes 100% olive oil soap and we do shaving kits, you can email: pullmycape@hotmail.com and we can get some to you if you’d like.
Its not ‘local’ but I get my ball/face shaving soap from The Body Shop. It comes in a handy tube.
I find shaving bars of soap dry out my face too much. They’re fine for my balls though.
What’s wrong with a sheet of fine sandpaper and some Turtle Wax? Does your balls to a marvelous ‘see her face’ sheen.
Why not try some Veet, or better yet, get a Brazilian wax, if you have the “balls”. Eliminates the need for looking for handcrafted shaving soaps.
Pulling strips of wax off your balls just might give you permanent ankle warmers.
Rogaine foamy stuff might do the trick, then again you’d wind up with beard-for-balls. Might scare off the ladies.
Oh jesus christ, don’t try Veet. Veet (even the kind for your special area) will burn your ball sac off. DO NOT USE VEET ON DELICATE AREAS. Trust me *shiver* *curls up in fetal position*
With all the homegrown soap companies in NS I’m sure if you did a little more research you’d find something. And I can vouch for momo: my mom’s been making her own olive oil soap since I was a kid and it’s super awesome for skin and great to shave with. And, body shop has some good product too.
You shave you balls with a strait razor? are you fin crazy?
The Bulk Barn sells this stuff http://puresoapworks.com/bar_soap.htm
I don’t know if any of these would work for you, I wax. :]
How does a straight razor go round curves ?
carefully joebow… carefully…
I bet there would be a market out there for custom curved razor blades for balls…how awkward a commercial would THAT be?
”The blades conform right to your balls, no more cuts and bleeding!”
Dino Jr – I think there is a Canada Research Grant out there waiting for you.

My stimulus package consists of 24 from NSLC, a bottle of KY from Shoppers, 6 roses from Sobeys and a box of chocolates from Needs.
My Grampy used to put soap ends into a nifty little mug, and use a super-cool macho shaving brush to apply it to his face. I’m sure if you were to invest in natural soaps (as evidenced in the above posts- there are tons of options in Nova Scotia-try P’Lovers in Park Lane, The FARMER’S MARKET for cripes’ sake), a nifty little mug and a nice brush, you could be as smooth as a baby’s ass (sorry, couldn’t resist) in no time!
