Used local shaving soap today, I found at our local farmers market. The scent is great. But I also like the performance. I get plenty of lather but it is thin and very slick and retain s the slickness very well. I will get more.
The reason I bring this up is I was recently gifted three more artisan soaps that would be recognized on this site. All were unscented and contained lanolin. Two were tallow based and one veg based. They all work very well.
I always thought the local soap performed OK, but it was alluded that it could not perform as well as more recognized soaps and I did not have the experience to know if that was true or not. Now I know.
