For an Edwardian style shampoo, I used the Yardley. According to the direction in the original post about old time shampoo I grated it and dissolved it in water. Or tried to. This bar of soap actually seemed very disinclined to dissolve, and even after two weeks in the bottle there were still pieces floating in there. I also found this soap to not lather very well in the hair (Octagon has the same trouble.) Fortunately the Yardley is a lot more moisturizing than Octagon, and gave my hair good body during the time I employed it. My hair seemed to incline a little to the oily side while I was using it, but not as bad as with some other soaps. I actually started to find going for a wash only every 3 days was possible with this, without my hair looking too gross or full of dandruff.
For my own hair I think I still prefer the Ivory, but if you find that too dry and still think Castile soap is too oily, this might be your middle ground.
