I had a chance to try my soap, to shave my pits. All in all, quite nice. It seems to need a bit more water than some of my others, but that's not a big issue. Having given it enough water, it makes a thick & slick lather. No irritation after the shave. (Armpits are quite prone to that, so "no irritation" is very high praise.). Smell is delightful & refreshing.
