Picked up a John Lewis shaving soap refill today in their Southampton store for £2.50.
It lathers well. Will give it a try soon.

sodium palmate, potassium palmate, sodium palm kernelate, aqua, glycerin, potassium palm kernelate, stearic acid, parfum, paraffinum liquidum, isopropyl myristate, tetrasodium EDTA, sodium chloride, bht, tetrasodium etrioronate, pentasodium pentetate, CI77891
Close but not quite
soapalchemist said:paraffinum liquidum
The vast majority of soaps available in the shops are milled; during this process the glycerin which would otherwise be naturally in the soap is removed, leaving a soap that will be more drying and more inclined to crack. (It is then sold separately, often for more than the soap). I believe the reason petroleum derived ingredients are added is that it compensates for the removed vegetable glycerin.
