    So I had a sliver left over from a puck of Colgate. It wasn't enough to shave with, and I didn't want to throw it away. I bathed with it and found it makes a really great bath soap.

    Colgate pucks are a bit hard to come by, so I don't plan on repeating the experience. Makes me wonder if Williams, VDH, and other cost-efficient shave soaps would make good bath soap. Anyone try this?

    I have used pucks of shave soaps that I didn't care for in the shower. However, I wouldn't use my vintage pucks of Williams or AOS.

    Williams makes a pretty swell bath soap.

    Agreed. I wouldn't use up my Colgate stock either. I've been thinking I might buy a sleeve of Marvy Shave Soaps. If they don't work well for shaving, then there's always the shower...

    I'm a horrible tightwad, so I take all the soap, shampoo, lotion, etc. from motel rooms I stay in, and use them at home. Well, I was down to a sliver of the last bar I could find (what the devil did I do with my stash?) and thought..."I have 22 pucks of Williams"...but no, I found a small bottle of motel body wash and used it instead.

    That is considered Williams abuse. There are laws and such.... Or should be anyway!!

    If it works in a pinch, and it's good enough for my face, then by God it's good enough for my other bits too...and don't worry, it was a new puck. Not a vintage.

    I propose an exemption. If a man goes full-on Williams as his only soap... GAWD is OK with that. As long as it straight, no cut, no chaser.

    I do agree with the red neck from CO. THAT would be ok..

    Now THAT is a fish of a different color. Some of the glycerin soaps work pretty good.

    They work pretty well. My experience has been that tallow soaps aren't as slick on the body, however....which is strange because they tend to be slicker for shaving.

    Basically from recipes I've seen online, the only difference between glycerin bath soap and shave soap is the addition of something like bentonite clay.

    I stand by my assessment. If I can shave AND bathe effectively with something, it doesn't demean the product. It increases its value.
