Thread: Looking for a good soap.

As of right now all that is avaliable to me is Williams, which I do not like the lather or smell and the feel after, and Van Der Hagen, which I like the lather.

I really enjoy the more boutique style things. I believe small businesses put "more" into their product. By more I mean extra care and "love"


I am looking for a soap that has a good lather, and a light floral scent like rose or lily, or a light wood smell. like sandal wood.

Anybody got any ideas I would be so thankful. Thanks in advance.

Here is one, Stirling Soaps: Natural Shaving Soaps

$5 a puck and they will lather in our rock hard water. Pick your scent............

There are any number of good soap varieties out there. Classicshaving.com carries a number including their house brand. There are also the Mama Bear soaps which are glycerin melt and pour soaps that are available in a large number of fragrances.
Others include em's place and Queen Charlotte. I am using the latter right now and am very satisfied with it BTW.
Hope this helps.

Ive been off the forum for a while but if memory serves theres a member on here called @Mastershake who makes some lovely soaps (im sure he sells under something along the lines of Bullfrog soaps)...

Can anyone confirm this?

RazorBurn,
A number of quality soaps meet your requirements. For starters, try any of the following: Provence Sante Verlaine, Institute Karite, Klar Kabinett, Geo F. Trumper, D.R. Harris, Taylor of Old Bond Street, Scottish Fine Soaps, Portus Cale, Fume, Bath House Spanish Fig and Nutmeg, Edwin Jagger Aloe Vera and Sea Buckhorn, and Muhle.

I'll second D.R.Harris soaps. One of only a few English brands now that can deliver, and deliver these soaps will. Windsor and Marlborough will fit the request nicely although Lavender is also available. I never quite took to that one though, but YMMV.

While expensive I get great results from Martin de Candre. Great product made.

I like Col Conk bay rum

Ah yes, that would be the ultimate "boutique" style soap, and perfectly fits the OP's criteria

Mitchell's wool fat may not b the scent ur looking for, but its such a old school favorite I think you really shouldn't miss it.. I'm also a huge fan of mamma bears great scents great soaps..
