Okay, in my recent quest to check out different homemade shave soaps, I located several vendors on ebay (see this thread). Since the last thread I found 9 total vendors of homemade shave soap. Most list their ingredients, some don't.
I found two that either didn't list ingredients, or didn't list any clay. They were Pirates Cove and Lil Bit of Nature. So, I emailed them just to ask if they put clays in their soaps, which I was always under the impression must be in there to be a shave soap. Without clay, I assumed, it was just a high quality bath soap.
Both responded with "no", but not in the way you would think. It was almost like I asked if there were pesticides in their soap (Pirates Cove quote: "absolutely NO clays in our soap"). What gives? Is there an anti-clay opinion floating out there that I don't know about? Or, are they just not as informed as some of the other makers?
