I second that bath soap verdict! She sent one along with my order that was the Desert Ironwood. What a terrific smell. I may have to order some of those as well.
My experience is just the opposite of your's. Now granted I was using the Poraso cream but I found that Colleens soap didn't dry out as fast as the Poraso cream. I also found the blade of my razor glided accross my face easier with the soap. Now with her talent im sure her creams are much better than the Poraso. I may try them later on. Right now I am going to enjoy these soaps.
