    You know, life is too short to put up with bad shaving soap. And there are so many to try. I've tried the superlathering response but that just prolongs the inevitable. As for using them as hand soap or bath soap, sure you can do that but often they are not that good for those purposes as well. I just toss 'em so I have room to try new ones.

    The point about artisan soaps is a good one. They can be good but often they are not. So buyer beware. Established brands are established for a reason.

    All the best.

    I'm with most guys here, I chuck it or give it to a buddy or my dad if he likes it. Good thing is if it sucks ya' never gotta waste the money again. About the artisan soaps, I've seen some I would like to try but have been a little leery b/c of the prices. Anybody got suggestions on some from prairiecreations.com? Also, I am thinking of getting rid of my tabac soap...I'm keeping the ceramic dish, but it's only been used 3 times, and the scent is a bit too powdery for me; plus my face tingles more everytime I have used it...maybe growing an allergy to something in it. PM me if you're interested in trading for cream, soap, AS let me know.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Use them in the wood shop. Drag the threads of screws through the soap and they create less friction in the wood, especially when using small or brass screws in hardwood.

    I got one on ebay that lathered no better than low-grade bubble bath soap bubbles. So now I'm showering with it.

    All has been said already......

    If I am not a fan of the lather but it has good scent then it's shower soap. If crappy scent then gift to a newb. Many have been given that I just had no use for that were good soaps(cella comes to mind when a friend needed a good soap to learn on).

    If the soap doesn't agree with my face. My wife will sometimes try shaving her legs with them.

    Into the shower or for hand soap! However, that does not happen any more.
