I recently purchased a bar of the Hot Apple Cider bath soap from Stirling Soap Co. @Joe Hackett and realized upon purchased that Rod uses tallow in his bath soaps. In the past I have used some old shave soaps that were not to my liking for shaving but make a great bath soap. I always wondered why there were not a large variety of bath soaps that used tallow. I am certain it is more expensive than the other plant based fats that companies use. But I really enjoyed using the shave soap for my showers. Fast forward to my Stirling purchase...man does that tallow based bath soap really do my skin some good! I mean it cleans and rinses better than most soaps and just gives that skin a nice moisturizing feel! I might not be going back to regular old soaps. Stirling has me won over on their soaps!
