    Like Obie some creams don't get along with me, not had that issue with BB soaps, I know the in house barbers use BB so I assume it is ok for most.

    Obie's I would agree with you on Castle Forbes but for the soap I would go with your other T1 soap choice - Czech & Speake as the scent is brilliant and the lather is right up there.

    Sticky: floris

    Obie, I don't see mention of Floris soaps and wondered if you had not tried this soap or rate it as tier 3. For me this would easily beat a number of your T2 soaps?
