I have tried actually shaving with Ivory soap in the shower...burns!!..not to mention the AS that didnt help improve a thing as it burned as well...case in point...having sensetive skin makes for an uncomfortable shave!
Looks like that Ivory ad tacitly admits that their soap isn't really made for shaving.
Yep, and clearly that ad dates back to a time when a lot of folks didn't enjoy much disposable income and went to great lengths to get by on the cheap. When a bar of hand or bath soap became too small to use, in many households it found a new home in a shaving mug, mingled with the remnants of other shards of bar soap. That said, this hobby isn't necessarily about making rational choices-- if you get a charge out of shaving with Ivory, more power to you. Enjoy your shaves!

Ivory,
I shave with ivory,
Good shaving rules
I want to flout them
Those fancy shaving pucks
I'll never use them
My epidermal layers
I live to abuse them
The lather's dry
The razor burn makes me cry
Just like I
Was shaving with Williams
Call me a dope
At least I don't use Zote
But I shave....with Ivory!
Anyone else notice that the OP hasn't returned to this thread or made any other posts?
Can't imagine why not, after the wonderful reception he got.
I like things plain and simple. Ivory is like wonder bread. Does anyone know of a better option.
