What's the difference...

...between a shampoo bar, a shaving soap puck and a bar of hand/bath soap?

There's a fair bit of commentary on the forum where chaps use old or otherwise poorly performing pucks as bath soap and/or shampoo and I wonder whether there is a particular difference between the three, and specifically as to how well they clean, nourish, moisturizer etc. and what accounts for the differences. And so on.

Cheers.
 
Shampoo bar has not a lot of excess oils. Bath/ hand probable made with sodium hydroxide and can have excess oils to condition skin and shaving prob has Stearic acid and made with potasium hydroxide and or sodium hydroxide mix which makes it have a huge lather (roughly speaking) guess who's looking into making his own shave soap[emoji2]
