    I measure all suds against either Xpec which is impossible to source right now and Castle Forbes.

    As mentioned, Baume.be is really nice, Esbjerg is another.

    Have fun

    I didn't know Xpec was in short supply. I will have to savor what I have of the tub I'm using until there is more available.

    Quicksilver, give these a try:

    Xpec (if you can find it), Castle Forbes, Truefitt & Hill, BAUM.BE, Esbjerg, Santa Maria Novella, Trumper, D.R. Harris, Edwin Jagger, Muhle, Rose of Bulgaria, Arko unscented, Proraso and Maca Root. You should find something in this group you like.

    I'm a fan of the Cyril R Salter range of shaving creams. They are well priced, big tubs, have good scent and lather really well.
