Ovis shaving soap (rasierseife), Anyone?

[Cheapogit]

I was skimming the German Amazon, looking to see what there was there, (just out of interest ), was on Klar Kabinett page and one of the 'You may also like' was a men's sheeps-milk shaving soap 'Ovis'.

Was just wondering has anyone even heard of this, I did a google search but didn't come up with much on any forums or info pages. (Also my German isn't great, but can get along with written more than spoken, and google translator is useful too!).

http://www.deine-seife.de/Waschen/Ra...sierseife.html has the ingredients, which look reasonable enough. "Lac Ovis" would be sheep milk. My guess is that the scent is similar to De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap, but with a floral component.

Ingredients: Sodium Palmate, Potassium Palmate, Aqua, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Potassium Stearate, Glycerin, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Stearate, Lac Ovis, Parfum, Prunus Amygdulus Dulcis Oil, Elaeis Guineensis Kernel Acid, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Sodium Chloride, Elaeis Guineensis Acid, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tocopherol, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Hexyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, CI 77891

When I google "site:gut-rasiert.de ovis" most of the results are from "list your favorite soaps" threads - so some people like it. No detailed reviews there, or amazon.de, or anywhere else that I can find. If you decide to give it a try, be sure to tell us what you think.

Well, that's quite useful and has filled a few gaps, I may keep it in mind to investigate further, (it'd be better if I could get it 'locally') but I have quite enough stuff at the moment, when I found this site, I went a bit mad purchasing (for me, anyway!) , though I still have a lame collection compared to some I've seen!!!! (my full collection amounts to what some just take on holiday with them! ).
