Seep essential oils/fat/butter after every shave? Yes, every shave.
The next day after every use there is a small pool right in the middle and little smaller seeps along the rest of the soap puck. It's quite astonishing.



This is the soap I won in the annual auction, HERE is the thread.
And what Joel says HERE about the soap is dead accurate. I load the brush for a solid minute and it produces a lather exactly as described. Not foamy, but wet and slick!

My brush is softer and my face feels great. It's truly a magical soap.
I'm REALLY looking forward to the next batch.

After reading through the threads on this soap it occurs to me just how rare this soap is. It's amazing I even have it in my possession and get to use it!

I've had one soap that did that with essential oils. They actually seeped out and gelled on the surface. That was my lesson on how much scenting agent is "too much". Certain oils are worse for this than others. Patchouli and Cinnamon are the worst I've encountered. An excessive amount of less volatile oils would certainly create the same issues. It should mean that it has a very non-drying shave-result, though.

Indeed non drying.

for the record I am not complaining. Quite the contrary.
