I know we've got some hard-core devotees to good shaving soap. I actually wax so I haven't shaved anything in years. (TMI, maybe?) My sister swears by shaving with conditioner. Every tried it? My thought is that for shaving you don't need the cleansing properties of soap - just the slippery properties.
 
I have and it works pretty good but it doesn't work as well as a good shave soap. My daughter used coconut oil, she likes my shave soap but its too much work for her since mine is designed to lather with a brush.
 
I used conditioner for a bit but it has to be water soluble. I prefer a soap bar that lathers well. I tried lush's shaving lotion (a long while ago) and it was a HORRIBLE experience. It clogged up my razor, got my tub a mess and didn't wash off easily... It was not water soluble.
