    Default Can I get some small batch soap company recommendations?

    As a new wet shaver, I'm really enjoying getting turned onto smaller soap companies like Chiseled Face, LA Shaving Soap and Dapper Dragon. All three of these companies have impressed me.

    I'd appreciate any more recommendations of small batch, up and coming soap companies that would be worth checking out. Thanks!

    Mickey Lee Soapworks and Mystic Waters are two that come to mind.
    Mickey Lee - The Kraken and Mystic Waters - Poggio Del Pini are my two favorites.

    Stirling Soaps work very well for me. I have several and enjoy them all.
    The scents and the price are hard to beat.

    Thanks for the hook up. They have so many scents! I had been annoyed that Taylor of Old Bond street only offers Grapefruit in cream, not soap. Looks like Stirling has my grapefruit soap hook up. Cheers!

    I'm really impressed by First Canadian Shave, the scents I've tried are mild but the lather and shave is outstanding.

    Oh yeah, Men Essentials in Toronto has begun stocking First Canadian Soaps. They must be doing something right

    1. Cold River Soap Works: the quality of these soaps, splashes, and balms is as good as it gets. His current seasonal entry Fall is an outstanding scent.

    2. Sapone Di Paolo: a terrific product from someone just starting out. One of the best lime-scented soaps available. Paolo's aftershave balms are as good as you'll find anywhere.

    3. Tim's Soaps: famous for Greek Peach, but has many other very nice scents.

    4. Shannon's Soaps: terrific lather with excellent post shave feel, Silk Pajamas is a winner.

    These are some really solid recommendations. I'll be making purchases from all four. Awesome!
