We get our soap from a small company in Ohio - Chagrin Valley. Used it for years and really like the idea I know (at least digitally) the person making my soap. Currently on a bar of Rose and clay (One of my all time faves).
I prefer my daily soap to be gentle and moisturizing and also i always look for a soap with natural or skin-friendly ingredients that are less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation. For some soap suggestion click here
Anything gentle, fragrance and soap free. Soap dries my skin out and I don't like carrying around soap fragrance with me after I've showered. Atm I'm using QV.
I'm rotating a very large number of scents among Pre de Provence, Nesti Dante, One With Nature, Wavetree & London and Mistral brands, all lovely bath soaps.
Now, both showers and shaves are pampering experiences!
