    Default Which (puck-style) soap should I try next?

    I've started with the regular Williams soap that is available at CVS and I also have the Art of Shaving's soap (sandalwood). I want to try some more, but I don't know where to start. I've tried to compile a list of shaving goods brands — which ones are "definitely try" and "definitely avoid"?

    Here's my list—

    30 Degree
    Acca Kappa
    American Crew
    Art of Shaving
    Bath House
    Classic
    Colonel Conk
    Czech and Speake
    De Vergulde Hand
    Dr. Dittmar
    D. R. Harris
    Edwin Jagger
    Floris
    Geo F. Trumper
    Gold Dachs
    Haslinger
    Imperial
    Jack Black
    Kent
    Kiehl's
    Klar
    Lee's Razors
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Muhle
    Musgo Real
    Osma
    Penhaligons
    Pils
    Portland General Store
    Proraso
    RazoRock
    RoyalShave
    Savon à Barbe
    Scottish Fine Soaps
    Tabac
    Taylor of Old Bond Street
    Tcheon Fung Sing
    Truefitt and Hill

    That's a long list... I've owned them all but my favorite is stirling soap and mikes natural soap... Lathers better than mdc or Mwf

    +1 for Stirling Soaps. They are great and easy to lather. I've got like 6 and I still can't choose a favorite. Queen Charlotte Soaps are really nice too.

    You've left out Martin de Candre which IMO is THE best soap out there..lathers like no other and easily. Second on my list would be Penhaligons

    +1 on Martin de Candre, not a puck, but it's tops. Czech & Speake is an excellent soap also. Tabac is really good and one of my favorites too. My top three !!

    Regards,

    Tried these myself so far all are good performing soaps
    D. R. Harris (not a sandalwood fan here) I have a slightly used puck of Marlborough and the AS and colonge, I need to find this one a new home
    Haslinger (first soap I tried, I need to get this one again but I don't remember it performnig badly at all)
    Musgo Real (soapy clean scent white/green metal tube decent performance probably won't get again)
    Portland General Store (mild earthy scent, lathers great probably won't get again skin irritation)
    Proraso (any flavor you get here would probably perform excellent) I've only tried the the green and red (not a fan of the red....sandalwood scent)
    RazoRock (fresco clean soapy scent. watermint, good performer)
    Tabac (found this one a new home, great scent but strong. ouststanding perfprmance otherwise)

    Wow, thanks for all the responses! Maybe I should take the ones that have been recommended by someone above and put them in a poll?

    Mama Bear have a great selection of puck soaps that lather great. SRD soaps come in a plastic tub and have great scents to choose from. Order samples when you can to try before you buy.

    My recommendations is not based on own experience. It's based on others recommendations, the ones I would like to try myself in other words.
    MWF, MDC, Fitjar, Dr Harris, Yardley, Tabac, Cella. And that's just the start, I'd like to try all soaps
