So far I have only tried 4 soaps. Two from SRD (sweet patchouli and sandalwood), a free sample I got from Cedarfurnitureman on Ebay, and the cheap puck of Williams I bought at the local drugstore. I was totally satisfied with all of them. They all gave me a nice lather and a good shave. The most noticable difference of course, is the fragrance. All but th patchouli are subtle. Some days subtle is what I prefer. I have to say that my all time hands down favorite is the SRD sweet patchouli. Both times that I used it when my girlfriend was over, just as I finished my shave, she nuzzled my neck then jumped my bones. Coincidence? I think not. I will be continuing the experiment, and I will report future findings.
