Has anybody else here tried any of the Lush soaps for shaving? I picked up a small bar of something they called "Honey I washed the kids" when I was on vacation, and I have been using it this week. It seems to lather up faily well with a brush, and I get a decent shave with it. It is supposed to be the mildest thing they sold, although the sales girl couldn't tell me what exactly it was made out of. She was more interested in explaining how it was not animal tested, and they were a strictly vegan company. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I had spent most of the day before chasing wild boar through the jungle with a knife for the express purpose of killing and eating them. The vegan aspect normally turns me right off, but this stuff smelled good. Kind of a clean, honey scent, that isn't overpowering. It lathers up like some of the coconut oil based soaps that I have used. She also seemed to think that honey was used in the process somewhere, but I have learned long ago to take comments like that with a grain of salt. Especially when they come from vegans with enough facial piercings to look like Sputnik. My guess would be that they used beeswax as one of the fats to make it. If anybody else has any experiences with these soaps, please let me know what you thought of them. So far, this one seems to be a winner.
