Thanked: 171Years back, I found a bar of Valobra soap wrapped in cellophane that was not otherwise marked.
I tried shaving with it, but the results were sub-optimal.
I wrote an email to Valobra, who responded quickly and told me that it was not a shaving soap, but that some people were using it as such.
The requirements (e.g. lubrication) for shaving soaps obviously differ and a soap formulated for bath and shower will not produce optimum results when used as a shaving soap.
It can be used in a pinch, but can’t hold a candle to a good shaving soap.
Who knows, after wetting the beard thoroghly one might even be able to use diswashing gel if nothing else is available...
