I have just returned from The Soap Opera in Madison WI. They have a shave corner with about 10 brushes synthetic boar and badger. As well as various shave cremes and soaps. I went there for there own Glycerin soap made from natural vegetable products. Not that I was looking for natural vegetable but theirs is. It's only 3.95 a puck also the bar soap is made the same. So one could microwave it for a few and fit it in a mug. I think there is slightly mor in a bar and they are the same price. I bought 3 soaps Aloe Vera, Egyptian Musk and Himilaya shea butter w/soy. I used the himalaya and it smells great. They also have a few uncented items that you can scent with 114 different oils they have and any combination there of. It seemed to lather well but i also had a bit of kiss my face unscented.
