Been using Proraso Ultra Soap. Ordered some Mama Bears Soap and I like it much better. It lathers better and doesn't dry out as quickly on the face. She has a very large selection of soaps on her website. Highly recommended.

If you like those, you should try some from SRD as well.
On the contrary, I don’t like Mama Bear’s soaps, and in general glycerin-based soaps, as they dry out fast, and in general they soak worse than triple milled soaps.
What is your favorite triple milled soap?Quote:

It might serve as a good introduction for you.

I like the sort of numbing feeling I get when I apply MWF. Maybe it is just me but it seems to have a anesthetic property that I feel within seconds of rubbing it on. It provides far more cushion and glide then any glygerine soap and it seems to soften and heal the face with therapeutic potency.
+1
Mama bears Phoenix rising soap smells excellent
The shave sticks are sweet for traveling. You can toss it in your bag n go.
+1 to Mama Bears soaps. I even bought some of Sue's bath soaps, which are excellent as well. All of Mama Bear's soaps stand well on there own, like SRD. Both are excellent and glycerin based. Your other option would be tallow, not too many artisan soap makers using tallow these days, there was one called Prairie Creations, good stuff, but the owner/operator seems to close the shop quite a bit due to personal problems.
Gotta love the Glycerine versus CP/HP soap fights..
I got a Tobacco Mama Bear I'm willing to let go... :D SRD has some great out of the boxes soaps, but to be honest out of laziness, maybe, Proraso from Bed bath works works great, especially with a nice pre-warmed mug, and you have to love that minty tingle... :D
You want tingle? Try one of Mama Bear's mentholated soaps!Quote:
