Anyone try Union soap?

Looking @ the list of ingredients, olive oil is the 2nd on the list. Soaps with a high proportion of olive oil create a very weak, bubbly lather that disappears instantaneously. I learned this the hard way. So that makes me very suspect as to the quality of this soap.
This is a common issue with Union soap. Ordinarily, good results are not had until one dispenses completely with one's other, non-Union soaps. One must also be careful not to overwork the soap, and to allow a full 15 minutes by the clock between loading your brush and attempting to build lather.
Upon closer examination, you might have found that the bubbles were holding little picket signs as well.
Now that you mention it, not only were they holding up picket signs but I noticed a distinct smell of donuts in the air. I thought it was all my imagination but apparently not.
Thanks for pointing this out!

I've been using Union Street's shave soap for years and it's the best shave I ever had. It's the only soap I can shave with, seriously.
LOTS of lather (what's that other guy talking about? He hasn't even tried it...), I get a close shave, it smells good and it leaves my skin soft.
The ingredients are olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, castor oil and shea butter. There's a clay in it that apparently makes it really slippery (nice when there's a BLADE on my face) and different from their other soaps.
