Shaving with Bar Soap & Goat's Milk Soap!
So, last year I got a bar of goat's milk soap and I believe it has really helped keep my face from breaking out. When it ran out I decided to stock up the next opportunity I had.
So, during my most recent trip to visit the Amish I purchased several bars of Patchouli and Eucalyptus scented soap (along with way too much sweet foods). I even got some patchouli scented lotion to try out.
After seeing a video of an old razor grinder shaving with bar soap I thought I would give it a try.

Using my badger brush I worked up a lather on the bar. Lather was thick but not super fluffy like a lot of true shaving soap. It certainly seemed to work well. I was happy with the results and liked the lotion as well. I'll be using it in the future. Next time I may try putting a small piece in my mug to lather.
If I had any scratches or irritation I would probably stick with an AS or ASL that had an alcohol or astringent in it to kill bacteria. This is just skin lotion.
Please share any experience you guys have shaving with bar soaps.
