Any of you tried Goat's Milk soap??

I'm in Roanoke, VA, and at our local farmer's market, a vendor (Belle's Place) sells shaving soap. Based on their website, it looks like they make their soap with shea and cocoa butter, as well as goat's milk. Has anyone tried that?

They give out samples, so I think I'll swing by next time they're at the market and give it a shot.

While I've never used goat's milk shaving soap, I have used artisan goat's milk bath soap. Very nice and moisturizing, and leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean.

Currently trying a sample from nannyssillysoap with some goats milk in. TBH, I haven't noticed a lot of difference performance or smell wise from her soaps without any in. Other makers may use more or less, may make more or less of a difference. YMMV (as always )

i had some Susies Bubbles goats milk shave soap. good stuff.

you can get a single cake of soap for $5.99 free shipping if you want to try it out. hard to beat deal at that price. plenty of scent to choose from also.

you just need to make sure you put down that you wants goats milk added and your scent choice.

Whatever you do, make sure to try that sample first. Most soap makers at local farmers' markets think that clay + bath soap = shaving soap.

+1 to this^.

Lynchmeister reported some time ago on a goat's milk "all over" bar that he got from "The Dirty Moose" (link around here somewhere). He gave it favorable reviews for shaving and iirc, only complained of the fact that it wasn't scented.

Rose of Sharon Acres makes all their bars (soap & solid shampoo) with goat's milk and panthenol (pro-Vitamin B) and I can say first hand they are very kind to your skin and hair.

I've heard good things about Faith Mountain Farms:

I've tried some Goats Milk and Orange Essence from Whispering Windz, it was nice as a soap but not for shaving.

They do make handmade jars of cream, as I purchased some Banana Cream Pie cream (it was nice, but too much clay).
