+1 Absolutely agree! I would add I Coloniali Mango Oil to this list.

So went with RazoRock Essential Oil Of Lime Italian Shaving Soap, and instead of a face lather I did a bowl lather and really got it to a consistency I liked, and my results with the soap were better this time.

Its all about practice. The more you do it the better it gets.

+1 Mystic Water soaps are tremendous and the customer service from Michelle is superb. Highly recommended.

I would suggest Mitchell's Wool Fat soap

I'm going to recommend two soaps that I find are almost like a hybrid of both a soap and cream, and that's Catie's Bubbles and PAA ( Phoenix artisan accouterments.) These two soaps are so easy to load and need lots of water to create lather. Both burst into whip cream like fluff, and are some of the slickest soaps I've used. Pick any scent, you can't go wrong... . But I reckoned Dapper Doc's and Le Piment De La Vie. Try one, you will not regret it!!

Mystic Water seems to be just as good and even better than the creams I have used and the plethora of scents offered are wonderful!

Mikes Natural shaving soaps are what i'm into of late. Totally different animal to what I am used to. lathering takes a little study to get right but when its right nothing I have experienced so far had given a dense protective lather like this one. Really good cushion in this soap and excellent after shave skin softness. Tallow and Lanolin rich been done before right ?

I recently substituted this product in place of Noxzema Cleansing Cream in my pre-shave routine. I rub just a small amount into my wet whiskers. I brush lather my favorite soap or cream directly over top. It has no scent to mask the smell of your favorite soaps or creams.

It provides a slick protective film for your your skin and makes an ordinary shaving soap a spectacular lathering bomb.

Neutrogena Men® Sensitive Skin Shave Cream | Neutrogena®

If you buy any of the top of the line soaps and creams we talk about all the time they are failure proof. They all almost explode into lather just by looking at them. Yes they cost more however when you figure how much they cost and how long they last it's like a tiny fraction of a cent per use.
