Kirk's Coco Castille Bar Soap

I searched around tried a lot of soaps that were real soap and not a detergent bar - Nancy Boy, Claus Porto, T&H, Yardley, local soap makers, goat milk soap, you name it.

Kirk's Castille soap is available practically everywhere. It is less than $1 a bar, and it is excellent soap. Each bar is individually wrapped and weighs in at 4 oz. Here is the description from Kirk's website:

Since 1839, Kirk's Original Coco Castile Soap has given the consumer a high quality, all natural soap at an affordable price. Current national market research ranks Kirk's Original Coco Castile Soap as the top selling all-natural bar soap.
"Castile" originally referred to the highly-prized vegetable based soap produced in Castile, Spain. For centuries this soap was considered "the soap of royalty" because of its luxurious lather and gentleness to the skin. Today, "Castile" refers to any vegetable based soap.
Why ALL-Natural?

I have been using this soap regularly for over a year now. It is not drying, the scent is like soap and not artificial, lathers like crazy, and leaves me feeling really clean. Knocks on the soap are that it does not last all that long as it is one the softer side, and I have to be on the shower a bit more for soap scum buildup. Soap scum has been no issue with a daily shower spray.
