Obie, I always enjoy reading your impressions of products. However, I've come to realize that the ordering of your lists, whether "First Tier," "Second Tier," The Seven Wonders," or, "Shave Den's Permanent Residents" changes as frequently for you as it does for me. My highest rankings often goes to whatever soaps I happen to be enjoying at the time, while there might be others that deserve an even higher ranking but have been temporarily forgotten from lack of use. What has remained a permanent and frequent fixture on my countertop the past couple of years is Czech & Speake, both No. 88 and O&C, for their strong and complex scents and a luxurious lather that is hard to beat. I have another 20 or so soaps that may make their way from their drawer to the countertop for a few lovely days, but then are replaced and are forgotten for a spell. These are the soaps that gain and lose their stature on my favorite lists, with C&S always holding tight to the top spot. Happy New Year, my friend.
