I used Mamma Bear Ye Ole Barbershop soap today. My skin gets irritated by anything that is too perfumed. Consequently Truefitt and Taylors are mostly off limits for me. But I've never had any problems with Mamma Bear. But depending on what aggravates your skin, you might be in a different situation. Mamma Bear sells 1.5 oz pucks that are great for melting into a latte mug. Just unwrap the soap and place it in the mug. Give it ten seconds or so in the microwave and let it cool/set up. When I make my lather, I make it right on top of the soap in the mug. Its not bad stuff. I buy the small pucks because it gives me the option to change it up frequently and sample a few different ones without risking too much cash in the event I don't like it.
