anyone else loving bath soaps that use goat milk?  in the fall and winter here in Pennsylvania it can get pretty cold and very dry.  that usually leads to my skin getting dry and flaky.

when I saw this post by Scott from Declaration Grooming mention that he was going to add goat milk in his new soap base, I went and checked out the article he linked to and ended up ordering several soaps from Bend Soap Co.  I also picked up a few other goats milk soaps from other artisans online.  

I'm very happy with the results!

I live in PA as well. Check out Crowne & Crane for more goat milk soaps. They are my current favorite.

I did not know he made bath soaps, let alone soaps with goat milk. I'll check them out!

my Mom has REALLY dry skin. she uses some medicated lotion to help out. I'm hoping she'll use the goat milk bath soap I'm going to drop off for her and that it works well so she can ditch the medicated lotion and save a few bucks!

yeah, it's pretty good soap. I use their tea tree soap to wash my head and then a different bar of soap to wash the rest of my body. my wife even had me add a few bars of soap on to the order for her, which is rare, because she likes to use stuff with as few ingredients as possible. I ended up ordering like 6-7 bars of soap at once. lol

I use nothing but Caprina Fresh Goat's Milk Soap, "Original" formula in the shower.
SWMBO really likes it too.
It stays creamy and doesn't get hard as it gets worn down, so it's easy to "weld" a sliver onto a new bar.

AND ... I have used it to shave with, by way of experiment. Face-lathering and using it like a stick seems easiest, especially if it has been bloomed.
The lather it makes isn't thick like "proper" shaving soap, but it is certainly slick enough, and does not irritate my skin.
I've tried the Lavender-scented version, but didn't particularly care for it.
I also tried the Shea Butter formula, but it did not seem much different from the Original formula.

I can pay about CAD$2.19 per single 141 g bar at my local pharmacy, but I usually get the 6 x 90 g pack for $8.49.
Which is very reasonable.
Amazon's price is considerably more.
