I'm living those good old days right now and don't plan on going back. Took a long time to get there though.Sometimes I miss the old days when we just bought shaving soap when we needed it.

I'm slowly working my way through my collection. I'm down to six partial creams, and 14 soaps in various used conditions.I'm living those good old days right now and don't plan on going back. Took a long time to get there though.
The best Bath soap that I've tested to make a good lather by it self is Dove. I have found that mixing a half bar of Dove bath soap with a puck of New Williams Mug soap by shaving both, mixing together and pressing into a bowl. This mix makes a wonderful thick, slick, cushioning long lasting lather. The scents I've tried of Dove are Tangerine, Shea Butter and Cucumber. What the New Williams or Dove lacks as a Shave Soap alone, makes up to make a great shave soap by mixing together.Many bath soaps do produce slick lather. I have shaved with Irish Spring, but I prefer Yardley of London Cocoa Butter soap as the cocoa butter and Shea butter are good for moisturizing. The problem with bath soaps, however, are that the lather tends to be very foamy, lacking density. If you have less-sensitive skin, that may not be an issue, but my skin is sensitive and I prefer the cushion/protection provided by shaving soaps that provides a denser lather.
No, you are just being smart with your shaving purchases now that you know what works for you.For me, the title says it all. “It’s just soap”. At one point, I spent a lot of money on unnecessary amounts shaving products. Turns out most of my favourite products happen to be the some of the least expensive.
Currently on year 4 sabbatical, and once my remaining soaps/creams run out, I will replace with one product until
thats gone, and so on. I refuse to be selfishly wasteful and excessive. Maybe I’m just cheap, and unsophisticated
