text: I got tired of my favorite shaving soap being out of stock and decided to make my own. I originally tried the clear soap like this from the same manufacturer and added my own raw shea butter, but it came out to waxy. The amount of shea butter in this is perfect. I add in tea tree oil and melt it in the microwave in my shave soap container. Works as well as the name brand stuff I use to buy, but at a fraction of the price. Just make sure you have a good badger hair brush to use with this. If you don't have a shaving soap container, you can use a small tupperware container with a lid. I use a Proraso shaving soap container from a previous purchase. It's all plastic and works great.
