    Default TOBS, Mama Bear, or something else?

    Just starting out, and looking for some advice on soaps and creams. I got AoS Sandalwood for Christmas, and I love it both the sent and lather. I also have C.O. Bigelow that I like, but the cooling effect is a bit much for winter time. Tried Burt's Bees but was very disappointed with the lather, but do really like the smell. Finally I have Captain's Choice Bay Rum aftershave, I love the smell.
    So now I am looking at branching out to other brands and scents. I am looking at TOBS and Mama Bear. I am open to suggestions on both brand and scent. What should I get?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Can't go wrong with either of those. As for scents you can try the TOBS sampler. Taylor of Old Bond Street Sample of 14 Scents! 1/4oz Sampler | Maggard Razors - Straight Razor Restoration, Custom Scales and Wet Shaving Products Not sure if Mama Bears has a sampler or not.

    TOBS and Mama Bear are both top quality. If there a scent you are looking for, Mama Bear probably has it and her scents are very good.

    Get them all - nothing like fostering a good soap acquisition disorder.

    Mama Bear's was the second soap I ever bought. Once you try it you won't have any disorders. Okay, maybe it won't stop that because she sells a lot of different scents. I have Dragon's Blood , North Woods, Ylang Ylang ( which is kind of flowery but the girls love it :<0)) And I ran out of Patchouli but it is my favorite. It lathers very well is why I like it and the lather is nice and slick.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    No experience with mama bear, but I recommend TOBS St. Jermyn Street, Great lather and a Nice, mild scent.

    my three mamma bear soaps get used about 70 percen t of the time with my other 6-7 sharing the last 30. Only thi g with mamma bear is the shipping is kinda steep, but doesnt go up with bulk, so just make sure you buy 3-4-5 to make it worth while
