Only if you consider a stable lather an entering requirement... I have several soaps that shave quite well, and leave my skin feeling great, but do not have stearic acids or palm oils that are necessary for a stable lather.

I have adjusted The Art of Shaving. What’s interesting, the old Art of Shaving was superb. If I understand, it was made by Valobra. Then the formula changed and the soap became mediocre. The Art of Shaving creams are good, though.
Floris will work if you bloom it and load your brush heavily. It’s an okay soap.
A few years back, I had friends at the local The Art of Shaving Store, and I would help them out at the store on a part-time basis. It was fun. So I managed to buy several pucks of the soap before the formula was changed. I also got to know The Art of Shaving products quite well. I still like their Shave creams.
Gentlemen,
I have added a new category to this thread. There have been a number of requests to include this category. The product line noted is scant for starters, but I trust I will add more to the list. Obviously, since I will not be able to try every soap or cream easy on the skin, your suggestions are welcome. The new category is simple: Sensitive.

Yesterday i tried this soap and i was impressed with its slickness which is very good..I am no expert but i think bowl lathering would be the way to go with this one.
One thing that is puzzling me though. The soap smells awful . A smell which i think is some kind of Tallow/Fatty smell but i have seen a few reviews where they talk about its lovely lavender fragrance .. Do you think i got a bad batch..Maybe my puck was made from leftovers?
Anyone else tried this?
Cheers

I am sure others have tried this soap so they will chime in. Being a tallow formula soap I wonder if it has gone rancid?
