Thread: can i make decent lather with 'any' soap?

Natural Skin Care for Men Bar Soap - Burt's Bees

i can get my hands on the bar soap of the burt's bees line, but not the shaving soap

Bay Rum Shaving Soap - Burt's Bees

it smells nice, but i don't know if bar soap would be any good for shaving? with enough technique/elbow grease/luck, can i pull of an equivalently good lather?



edit: so, i was just reading the description for the shave soap. it seems as if you're supposed to put quite a bit of soap (i.e. the entire 'puck') in to your shave mug?
i guess that explains why i can't get a good lather going...
