If you can get the vintage Yardley's stuff, it is apparently the best of the best.

If you are talking about the Yardley's bath soap, be prepared for weepers and cuts.:(

Wade & Butcher? Frederick Reynolds?


I hear what you are saying about "were", though. I don't think there are many places that are currently producing top-notch stuff anymore. Dovo & TI, do...

I'll have to throw my hat in the ring, and side with Obie on this one. You have the aforementioned soaps, but there's also the fine blades coming out of Sheffield that really tip the scales in...

C.O. Bigelow in Chicago. Like Penhaligon's, available only in the bowl.

Don't you think, as a shave soap conniseur, that you need to at least try the venerable and detested...er, I mean respected Williams? I would think as a citrus scent fan, the citronella/lemon smell...

Nah, that ship has sailed. Jut today I ordered C&S 88, and tallow based Trumpers Rose. I shan't be consorting with the likes of TOBS anytime soon. "Fool me once..." and all that...:)

(But I may...

To be honest, TOBS was my first ever soap, so I may very well have been partly to blame for the poor lathering I experienced.....

Luckily I didn't just read that.....

Yeah, I'm interested in it as well. I'm a fan of Valobra shave stick, so my hopes are high for this as well.

I have SCS Savory Rose AS balm, which has a very strong rose scent, which I enjoy. So...

Aha, good point.

I milled mine, which is probably why it lathered like a champ right out of the blocks.

Did you try it yet?


I found the Arlington to be super easy lathering.

MWF has both lanolin and tallow in the list of ingredients. Thus "lanolin tallow delight" is perfectly descriptive!:tu

Loudee wouldn't steer you wrong!

I re-milled the soap (i.e. used a cheese grater on it) back into the wood bowl, as I didn't like that small void around the edge, which would allow the water to run down off the top of the puck and...

I've been sniffing it on and off since last night, and I agree, it is not without scent, it's just very subdued.

Probably due to a weekend spent with the Irish Moos, whose scent as faaar from...

Okay, the Harris and MWF just arrived (So did a new Friodur, and an Ebay find, but pay no attention to those....:w)

I was underwhelmed by the faint scent of the Harris Arlington.:shrug: I was...

I'll quit "screwing around" with my avatar when you stop tempting me with $oapy ways to dispo$e of my money!
:nono:

So, in relation to "closeness" can that also mean that C&S does indeed have quite a bit of cushion?

I think I'll wait until I give my other three recent purchases a chance to actually arrive, and...

Let's see....in the last 24-36 hours I've placed orders for MWF (with dish), DR Harris Arlington(in bowl), Irish Moos (stick in plastic tube)......

Do I wait and see how these fine soaps do me,...

I'm sticking to my guns!

TOBS lavendar is simply lavender scented Williams in blue disguise!";" slightly thicker lather perhaps, but still lacking cushion...


Actually, perhaps if I gave...

I agree about TOBS soap....expensive nicer smelling Williams in my book.
