I consider my knowledge of soaps and creams to be the weakest link along my path of straight razor shaving. I bought very many early on, njot realizing just what a supply I had built up, and how long it would actually take to use everything up! I refuse to throw any of the old products out, but all I want to use anymore are my favorites ... Life is just too short to waste time on less that pleasurable endeavors, so something will need to be done! I'm on a "one new soap a year" moratorium, but I still cannot seem to put a dent in the supply.
In any case, I agree with everything Obie has to say... Although, for me at least, MWF moves to tier 1. Further, I'm much more enamored with hard soaps, and my stock of creams is much more limited, but i do dearly love Castle Forbes.
Oh yes, another hard soap that makes it into tier 1 for me is the long departed Klar Kabinett.
