Joshua Tree Soap Works ?

[Khedquist]

Has anyone tried any soaps from Joshua Tree Soap Works. I got some from ebay, Bay Rum & Lime handmade soap. Not a bad price about $6 shipped. 3oz. travel container. I have tried to get a creamy lather but it has lots of tiny bubbles. I have been using a GBS Silvertip Badger and a bowl. I am pretty sure my technique is good because I get great creamy lathers from all my other soaps and creams. I email the company and they said they don't put additives in like the mass produces. I have a water softener so hard water isn't the problem. I do get a good shave which is the most important. Maybe I am being to critical.

Anyone else have any experience with this soap?

This soap just does not lather well. I also have the bay rum lime. It had a nice slickness and performs ok for shaving, but is almost impossible to whip up a great lather.

From another thread is sounds like it wasn't such a good buy when it was only $4

Olive oil is a lather killer.
