Since I have two of virtually every commercial soap ever made, I agree there are versions with tallow and lanolin. However my two are over five years old. Things change. I could post an Erasmic tub without SLS.See attached - I would - respectfully - disagree with you -

Cheers - I.
To my mind these sticks are the old formula Lea - manufactured in the same factory - in Spain - perhaps that has changed? - In addition - I wouldn't take Maguire's descriptions as worth much. Just my opinion - each to their own. - I.

@pjgh what's wrong with shea butter?!... and Shea Butter.
But other folks will love it!
Good, good! More?

Interesting, it is rare that modern artisan soaps which are used by most use on here don't contain SB, isn't it?... aside from the nauseating smell?
While you'll read all and sundry touting its amazing benefits, that's often for more resiliant skin or unshaven skin. Fine (well, not necessarily harmful) on unshaven skin, although the actual moisturising capability is somewhat limited and a bit of a fraud really. It will simply wash out rather than penetrating deeply into the epidermis and working with skin glands. Shaved skin on faces is complex. Sebum production in facial skin is under a lot of challenges, and one thing it doesn't need is a foreign oil that is entirely unlike the oils in our skin. Shea butter gives the apparency of well moisturised skin by sitting in the upper epidermis and not actually contributing much more than that. Yes, the medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil that it also often in these products is very much akin to the oil in our skin and will penetrate deeply, shea butter is not carried with it. On shaved facial skin, this often translates as a mushiness that can exacerbate the problem for hair growing through. Read: irritation and ingrowing hair.
Okay on legs. Not okay on shaved faces.
It has no place or purpose in shaving soap aimed predominantly at face shaving.
... and that's before we get into the ethics of production or the looming environmental catastrophe that inevitably follows trendy products.

I've just looked through the main soaps I use and most of them have Shea Butter in (including OSP, B&M Excelsior and SV which I get on very well with).No...
