I see there are a lot of ETSY sellers selling shaving soap. Anyone bought any and would recommend the soaps.
 
I would recommend AVOIDING Cosy Cottage's offering. Made for a lovely (patchouli and lemongrass) scented hand soap, but the lather disappeared before I could finish half a pass.
 
I would recommend avoiding practically all ...

Many are just melt and pour and the rest are very foamy. There are a couple that actually work out as shaving soaps - Folk Soaps & Seaside Soap are a couple that come to mind. I bought one from Folk Soaps and found it really good! Tantra sells of Etsy, too - Hampshire Wool Fat as we nicknamed it.

If the INCI ingredients are listed, look for potassium. If it's all sodium, it'll be foamy. Look at the pictures as some show a brush with their soap. If it's foamy, avoid.
 
Umm sometimes its best to just bite the trend and buy an actual soap. Sure, you might find something, but most of it is just the same melt and pour that col conk and vanderhagen use.

Hell, there are "recipeis" for shaving cream online that are nothing but coconut oil mixed with canola oil and a scent.. There are others that are nothing more then coconut oil, shea butter, mixed with vinegar. I dont have to be a scientist to know that even modern williams is going to be better....
