The Obie Memorial First Tier Soaps and Creams Thread.

The smal size of the container does not bother me, even with oversized brushes.

I load the brush on the puck in its original container and whip up my lather in my Schwarzweisskeramik freestyle mug. Perfection!

OK, I tried one from tier 2. Barrister and Mann. Seville. Wow, my face just keeps getting smoother and smoother. And the scent lasts for hours, even after I douse my face with witch hazel. The wife loves it. Nuf said.

And it just gets better the farther up the tiers you go,, but B&M is a fine soap. Tc

I'll second the "it just gets better the farther up the tiers you go". I have not had one disappointment. I'm not a big scent/fragrance person and prefer unscented but I found the ones not offered in unscented, signature scent only, were quite pleasant. Wife even said they were Ok.



I'd like to start up a "First Tier Pre and After Shave Lotions & Creams". I'm a great tester, wink wink, but I totally suck at writing about it, nudge nudge, wink wink.

Well sir, I want to say thank you. I use the picture you posted above to show to the wife to let her know that I am not a nut. Here is a nut. Lol. Seriously...I have den envy. Very nice!

Ok! I have all the rest except B&M. What is the best scent? I'll go with your recommendations. I don't dig a heavy rose scent though a little. Don't get me wrong, I do like it I just do not prefer it If I can manage something else.

Here's the whole nut... you should be able to get yourself another shelf with this one.

Glad I could help.



It's a small sink/toilet off the laundry room.

Thought I'd mention what a stellar concentrated shaving cream, although feels like a hard soap, Klar Seifen - Heidelberg, the Shaving Soap in a Tin is....what an absolute Tier 1 this soap is in every respect.

Was getting some samples ready, and also wanted to do a test shave for some freshly honed razors, and brought this soap out.

I had forgotten the thick rich lather that virtually creates itself, the fine fresh clean smell and it's made from natural plant-based extracts, herbal and fruit essences, that give it a bouquet that is really out of this world, just blooms into the nose.

One of those soaps that just makes you go, "Ahhhhh......sweet!!!" as you lather.

This soap just moved to the counter, sometimes you need to come back to a soap to really appreciate how outstanding it is.

What scent do you have there? My understanding is that there are sandalwood, sport, classic, lemon grass, and almond scents all in the same tin.

OMG thank-you...I have the Classic, which is superb...now, thanks to you, I've just found out they have others....yehaaa!!!

edited to add: Lemon Grass on the way....this soap, personally, is in my Top 5.

Very nice. I can't tell, how are those razors hanging? By hooks or are they hanging on their own by sheer magical awesomeness of that little area?
