Thread: Soap in strange places...

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....

ok Bone dont know if you have read any of my posts lately, but have you ever used soap made for shaving to bathe with ?
