Soaps with olive oil don't get a lot of love around here. There are exceptions though. Only you can decide if it is a good soap or not. Try it out a couple of times and let us all know. I have tried a few soaps from farmer's markets and antique stores and for the most part...I am not a fan. I am beginning to believe that the bigger name artisanal soap makers are successful because they do extensive testing with their soaps. I get the feeling the stuff from farmer's markets are made in a batch and then tested maybe once, then stuck in a mason jar and sold. Test it out and let us know.
I haven't found a decent lathering soap which contains olive oil ... They are said to exist.

not sure if you mean the lather drying up or if it drys my skin. But I do not have ether issue . Seems very moistering . Did not relize they were that different. But I see the diffrence now .That soap has lauric acid and is a glycerin base which makes the soap quite a bit different than the one in question. I would have expected to see a decent lather from Bearded Jacks but not from the one in the original post. Do you find Bearded Jacks drying at all?

i think the goat milk in it as well helps that to.Was wondering if you noticed any drying of your skin post shave but sounds like the glycerin and olive oil do a good job moisturizing.
