Does this soap have a good slick glide for DE shaving?

I find this soap provides an excellent lather and using a quattro razor the results are superb.

I use straights rather than double edge razors, so I can't answer with certainty; however, I do find it slick enough for use with a straight razor despite my hard water and arid climate. I have to work quickly with all soaps, and this one is no exception, but it does retain lubricity long enough to complete a full pass. I try other things but keep coming back to this soap.

My husband uses this with a DE razor and he likes it much better than regular foam shaving cream. He's never tried any other shaving soap brand, though.

I DON'T KNOW! But when i need a gentle but effective degreaser i now use DAWN DISH SOAP it's gentle enough for oil spill damaged waterfowl it probably won't damage wood and it cuts grease on dishes really well

It's not a puck, it's also not a soft cream. It's a hard soap you use with a good brush. Very pleasant odor! Very nice soap! I shave every day and rotate between this and "kiss my face" uncented. It has a nice lather and I never worry about the shave I'm going to get with it. I have a very stiff beard.

I can achieve an equally great lather with both soaps, but it requires slightly different techniques. With regard to the actual shave I get, the cream certainly goes on thicker & creamier--which requires more time & precision & is great when I have more hair but annoying when there's not so much hair.

I only wet shave with mine in the shower and I use a bar soap like Irish Spring. Works great.

Not at all. The rubber flat with just a little shave cream makes a good cleaning surface. It'll promise the world but I've found that it just helps make shaving a more pleasant experience.

The handle is somewhat short but I have found that the shorter handle helps give me more control while shaving. Even though the handle is smooth I have not had any trouble gripping the razor while wet. I love the Edwin Jagger razors.

Smooth. I don't see how grooves would do anything since the soap sits on top of the bottom. The soap sticks, it's not going anywhere (at least hasn't in mine).... now that i've been using this for a little while, i wish it was just a tad deeper. I'm probably 1/3 of the way through my soap, and now it's just right (lather doesn't work it's way out of the bowl).

The interior and exterior of this bowl are smooth. A cake of shaving soap covers the bottom, so grooves wouldn't help. I have no problem generating lots of lather using a high quality brush.

I think this soap works great on hair! I have very curly hair that is easily damaged, so I only wash my hair with shampoo/soap twice a week. But this soap is very mild and gentle on my hairl

I wouldnt trade my gillette fusion proglide power razor for a DE razor. My face has never felt so smooth after i have shaved with it and other razors have never made my face feel so smooth like this blade does. I wouldnt trade that for the world. Plus one blade cartridge last me a whole month so 4 months of smooth shaving ill take it

it is textured but not too rough. Just enough texture to keep the soap from sliding around.

I would strongly suggest a brush and mug for this soap. I don't think you can hand lather enough for proper coverage to shave honestly.

I started using this soap in college due to the harsh water. I found that it didn't strip my skin nor made it too oily. I have used it with various water conditions and I have not experienced oily skin.

the only one I have tried is the Eucalyputs and menthol in the green and white tube. Great stuff I will never use another shaving cream. P.S. the Proraso after shave is really great. Makes for a wonderful shave all day.

The luxury soap lathers much thicker and gives more cushion and protection. It has a different scent for sure. I like it much better than the deluxe soap.
