More info please.
+1 Ingredients list, please.
From Ebay/Etsy: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Almond Oil, Lanolin, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
Never used it myself but it seems interesting. Artisan soapers are getting better in terms of shaving soaps.

I'm always leery of shaving soaps that contain olive oil...
Any pics of the lather? Have tried a few ebay/esty soaps with mixed result.

One of my kids bought me some shave soaps from Etsy last year and they are functional, but I certainly wouldn't repurchase them. I find most artisan soaps, other than the ones that are regularly recommended around here, to be sub par.

Etsy is just a place to sell, it has nothing to do with the person who sells it ,

here it is a 35 second lather, i figured this is enough to get what i want, any more and it would have been flowing over the rim

Olive oil is the kiss of death in a shave soap. The lather pictured is way to airy and will not have any stability. It lathers at all because of the coconut oil which is also unstable and lack cushion.

dont use it then, it works great and the blade slided very smooth--------------like I said If i needed more lather it would have come
You can continue to build the lather larger and larger, but that is not indicative of a great lather,it is just airy foam, if you would compare this to another soap that is formulated properly you would be surprised at the difference. Don't sell your shave short by using sub par lather. As far as not using it- I agree I would not. As a discussion forum our goal is to share each others experiences, both agreeably and respectfully disagreeable.
@Marco. I just learned something new. Thank you.

this stuff is great for me, i also lover razorock, and E&C, Arko---------excessive foam does not a better shave make , it is the lasting power , the smoothness and the after effect--------the lanolin works great as do my other rotation, not to mention olive oil is good for the skin and rashes,--I am not the seller of this soap just thought i would post it as an option, everyone has their choices

QCS has some olive oil and does well, it's probably the other parts that make it workable or not. OP, MWF like performance with lanolin, give Mike's a shot. Post shave feel is amazing.
