Yeah, I've switched over almost entirely, to Aleppo soap or olive oil soaps from Greece (which seem to not have the laurel oil present in Aleppo soap), and am very happy. Skin feels a lot less taut and dry than it used to, to give an unscientific opinion.

Out of curiosity, what do you pay for it? At the moment I can get rough cut Aleppo soap for about €1.10 here in Germany. I've heard it's dirt cheap in Syria.

I get mine from a small grocery store in my hometown in Lebanon. I pay around $3 for a kilo which contains usually some 8 cubes of soap.

Nice price! I wonder what shipping from Lebanon to Europe costs...

I'm not sure tbh, Aramex typically charges inbound shipments around $9 per 500 grams. However I must note that I'm not getting the best price. If I take a short trip to villages I can buy in bulk which is way, way cheaper. And these soap bars last very long.
