When it comes to soaps, I will admit, I don't know jack, as all I have ever used is creams. Even there, I am pretty inexperienced, still working on some that a brother of mine sent me, though I have to agree with Al in that I don't like something with a heavy scent, so TOBS is out of the question for me, as I find them to be pretty "perfumy". I do like the Art of Shaving Sandalwood though.
I would like to try some of the soaps that are out there, and will be doing so once my creams are gone, or when I get some extra money, which ever happens first.
