Does anyone know where I can pick up a few cakes of VDH glycerin. I like it to melt for shave sticks. Wally world does not have it here just the luxury.

I randomly find this soap at CVS Pharmacy or Walgreens, it is becoming harder to find locally. At least for me it is easier to find VDH Deluxe than the glycerin version.

Try the Simply Natural line of glycerin soap out of the supermarket. It's not labeled as a shave soap, but it does an admirable job. It's what I use for my personal scented shave soaps in my shave cabinet.
Too, I think it was VDH that sold melt and pour base stock. Check their website, maybe they still do, or maybe my memory is faulty.

I have used the simply naturally soaps. They do melt good. Did not lather as well for me. I might need to revisit one.

It might have to do with water.
It makes sense that if you have hard water that it might not lather. I have extremely soft water, that might be the reason that they did for me. I should have added that sooner since water hardness does make a difference.

I should have added that sooner since water hardness does make a difference. That could help out. I have relocated since I tried it first Maybe the water here in Baton Rouge will be better with it. The scents on those soaps are nice so I hope it works out.
