I have been using this product as well as others (body oil, body butter) from Em & El Organics for several years now and I love them. I do not know what I used before but those products are forgotten. Not only does the shave soap work beautifully (even on my dry, beat up skin), but it has no awful packaging. It is perfect. The body oil and butter are also favorites. When my skin feels good, I feel good and these products make my skin very happy.
