Teach Soap

I just used an oval bar of Shea Butter soap in the shower and got next to no lather at all, which made shaving a little difficult. Also, was so slippery that I spent more time fumbling in the bottom of the shower than actual showering. I have a bar made with plain white base on the sink, which seems to lather ok and not really slippery that I can tell. Is it the Shea butter that's like that or is there something I'm missing here? I have an organic base and goat's milk left to try, so interested in these questions on these also. Thanks!

Where are these bases from? What did you add to the base?

I used New Directions Aromatics's Stephenson's Melt & Pour Shea Soap base. I didn't add color or fragrance, just wanted to see how it was as a bath bar.

Thanks, I was wondering if it was the brand. I did order other items from BrambleBerry, so will stick with them.

The Stephenson's shea base is really not good. I was glad when I finished using it! It really doesn't lather well at all, and I don't know how clean it leaves your skin either! Their clean was a bit better, but not so much. I won't buy the brand again myself. Looking forward to BB's MP bases though!
