My wife complains about her skin being dry after showering no matter what soap or body wash she uses, so I did some research to find the most skin softening soap and the overwhelming consensus was olive oil soap. I bought a gonzo (8 oz) bar of the Kiss My Face brand at Whole Foods for only $3.00 and thought I would give it a try for my pre shave face wash. Results? My skin never felt this soft from any other soap and, in turn, I had a really great shave. The only ingredients are: saponified olive oil, water, and sodium chloride (salt), so it is good stuff. The wife liked it too, by the way.
