The Obie Memorial First Tier Soaps and Creams Thread.

[Moueix]

thanks Obie I would agree, albeit high on my T2 list. After this change I can't fault your list
I have about 60% of your T1 selection in my rotation and just added CF Lime and CS 88 in fancy aluminium bowl as I was on the fence and your post drove me to it. (At least that is what I will tell the boss if she finds out ) 😀 Now to add the other 5 I don't have. Will try get rid of the T2 soaps to make it less obvious

Hahaha.... As a veteran collector, I found an equal amount of hilarity and truth in your words.

Certainly mostly true, as a recent convert to straight and safety razor shaving I have a puzzled Mrs as for 20 or so years of using aerosol I am now like a kid in the sweet shop trying to make up for lost time I have caught the mysterious soap and razor acquisition disorders 😀😇

There are surely more Aquisition Disorders to come!

Don't forget strops and brushes!

[Daro]

Those are not to be spoken about either. I definitely need the drawer full of hones!

And soaps, creams and balms! WOOT!!

Gentlemen,

Please stay on topic: tiers of quality in soaps and creams. Thanks.

Reporting back after trying the Mickey Lee Soapworks 'Grand Havana' and i will say it is amazing. The aroma from this soap is truly remarkable. Kinda sweet and spicy at the same time. I was very happy with the way it lathered. I did 4 passes tonight (usually 2) just so i could keep lathering up with this stuff.

I am pretty impressed with all the Mickey Lee Soaps i have tried.

Next on my list is the Castle Forbes Lime Oil Shave Cream.

Castle Forbes is great, lather, glide, and cushion, it is a excellent creme thanks for the feedback on Mickey Lee, I am going to get a tub of that soap, and I will let you know how my experience goes.

Well the second of 3 pucks of Meißner Tremonia, this time Himalayan Heights, last time Exotic Elemi, has been boxed, might just be me, but these two soaps gave me the overall impression of being excessively waxy, the scent didn't sit well me with me at all, and I found them harsh on the face afterwards.

The Moroccan Rhassoul is still barely holding a spot in the 2nd tier, but is somewhat similar to the I Coloniali Mango Pot Shaving soap(which is fantastic IMO), but not nearly as robust and deep scented, that I feel that the final puck of Meißner Tremonia will go the way of, "the box".

Have to say, was very disappointed with the Meißner Tremonia soaps, at least the one's I had, thought at least they may end up 2nd tier, but they got no game for me....as always, YMMV

Stirling and Razorock XXX officially going in the "box" for me. No slickness whatsoever for me.
