+1 on Big Lots, though it is usually 70 cents a bar there.

For me it is Dollar General. They have both the Lavender, and Oatmeal versions.

If you are desperate, Rite aid also has it, but it costs more there.

Yardley also sells a fantastic cream here in India which makes real thick lather - I suspect they have the same formula as the soap - but adapted to be a cream !!

CVS near me also sells Yardley bath soap, but it's more than $1. I have no idea how much, as I've never purchased it.

Is the Yardley soap at the Dollar Store good for shaving?

In a word: no.

You won't be able to maintain a lather with a bath soap. It might be slick, but you won't get any protection. The result will likely be either weepers or razor burn.

I thought this was a shaving soap forum

It's a poor to mediocre shaving soap. There are worse soaps for shaving sold as shaving soaps, but I wouldn't use it (or them).

Fixed that for you.

I have to agree the Yardley bath soap is pretty horrible as a shaving soap. It's one of the ones I gave a whirl, when I was trying to find the diamond in the rough: a regular soap that performed wonderfully for purposes of shaving. I never found it, and gave up on the endevor.

I was not actually planning to use it to shave with, just in the shower. I was kind of in a hurry and accidentally posted in the wrong forum.
