Soap in strange places...

[Bone]

Does anyone else use soaps not meant for shaving to shave?

For instance, I found a soap at Whole foods that was meant as a hand soap but works great for shaving.

Don't hold out on me now, I can't be the only one.

I tried Yardley's hand soap to shave with.

Non-shave soap can be used to shave with sucessfully, but in no way could it be comparable to the comfort and cushion you will get with a true shave soap. At least that was my finding. After recieving my first cut in I don't know how long using the Yardleys, and getting a bunch of weepers while using the Williams, I swore off (and at) the cheap stuff, as the good stuff can be had for not much more $$ (ala Tabac at ~$10 a puck), but with a whole lot more comfort and enjoyment.

Ive tried it , my wife came home with a cake of almond and ginger soap
from trader joes . Smelled really nice but seemed to dry out fast when in the mug. I have thought about tring it with other soaps....
