There are so many really great soaps out there you should never use one that you are not happy with. You my also want to think about noxema before you shave and a good balm afterwards, that is once you find your replacement soap. I find soap dries my skin fairly quickly no matter which one I am using, some are worse than others. Noxema and balm and I am good, because I am a night shaver I can get away with a nice coat of shea butter as a balm without feeling shiny in public. So go forth and acquire soaps and balms to bring you great joy.
