Obie, you got me so worked up to try Oleo, I was gonna buy three tubs last week. Alas, they are shut down, on vacation, until November 5th. Curses!

I 100% agree with this. I also find soap lathering a more traditional experience, although honestly, I don't know what came first, the soap or the cream.
When I started my wet shaving journey, I...

Even those of us with average skin can run into problems. I don't consider my skin to be sensitive whatsoever, yet I had a tub of Stirling Barbershop light my skin up like the fourth of July. I...

I agree! The only way you can get some of their best products is if you follow them on Twitter or Insta and happen to catch a new release by chance. The Holy Black are the most marketing driven...

As someone who buys MDC from both Old Town and the MDC site, I can tell you that, even with shipping, buying direct from MDC is cheaper and they always throw in some samples of this or that. ...

I was lucky enough to pick up a tub of Lavender Creeper and matching aftershave when it hit THB's site. I have to say, the hype is pretty justified, if not the current asking price. The aftershave...

I could tell you how I feel about The Los Angeles Shaving Soap Company, but I figure this picture says it all.

I'm in the same boat here. I gave away my Razorock soaps because I could barely smell any of them despite the decent performance. And while I can smell Stirling's shaving soaps fine, their bath...

My bathroom looks like a soap store, yet Lea is a new one on me. Thanks for the heads up. Time to seek it out!

Maybe this has been discussed in this very long thread somewhere else, but I was noticing in Obie's original, very solid list of 1st Tier soaps, there seems to be very little tallow involved. ...

I'm a Windsor guy too. Part of my routine is trying lots and lots of different soaps and if I've been underwhelmed by certain ones, I'll go back to DR Harris Windsor to remind me what a perfect...

This is easily one of the greatest, most reliable threads on the site, but I realized tonight that the "third tier" (which isn't mentioned in the preamble) is quite controversial! There are...

This morning I tried out my second tub of soap from Country Club in Alabama. I previously gave the Grapefruit a 10 out of 10 simply because I couldn't find one thing wrong with it. This morning I...

Every wet shaver needs at least one puck of D.R. Harris. I can get a lather out of Windsor that rivals MdC any day of the week.

You and me both! And because I buy soap like it's going out of style, I justifiably turn every shave into a rampage of soap. I enjoy it.

I'm running into scuttle issues fairly often. Some soaps hate heat and won't lather worth a damn when they're warm, but then you cold shave with them and they're great. I'm slowly dividing my soap...

Agreed with this. AoS Sandlewood way, way exceeded my expectations. Fantastic lather.

I rank it just below MdC! I have the coffret and love it! Highly recommended.

That tears it! I'm ordering one next paycheck! That is so cool!!!

I'm with Ed because I suffer from chronic fancypants-itus. Even though I walk around town in ripped jeans and beer t-shirts, I'm a dandy at heart. :chapeau O&C scent it is!

I'm glad you mentioned Czech & Speak because I was thinking of buying this expensive soap (in the fancy metal bowl) but you don't hear too much about it. Sold! Do you have a preference of scent? ...
