The Tweeds of March

Rather common of Olive Oil based soaps. It takes a lot of skill to make a shave soap with olive oil and have it be any good at all, and very few can pull it off.

Although, the ingredients just list oils and clay? There's no indication that there's anything in it that would make it soap to begin with.

Agreed. It also wasn't very Green Irish Tweedy. It pretty much just smelled like an Olive Oil soap. I didn't expect much, but still felt like giving it a go. I have about 6 other small-shop Etsy shave soaps coming, so we'll see if any of them did any better.

That's one I haven't tried. Is it heavy glycerin melt & pour style soap? How's the scent strength and quality?

It is a melt and pour but has added skin nutrients. It really is a great soap. The scent strength is about 2.5/5.

Too bad you can't get them any more. There's a few I've missed out on. Queen Charlotte and Viking are a couple of others that come to mind
