    Great thread. It has been inspirational in trying various shaving soaps & creams and having a little clue of what I was getting into. Thanks.

    Before I found this thread I beat myself to death and learned to lather Williams and make others work. Some Ok and others meh and nice smelling disappointments. After trying a couple first & second tier soaps from here why bother with the noted under performers.

    Wife and I are not into the scents so I don't have all the flavors and go for unscented where I can. I like the natural smells the unscented have.

    The first tier soaps have been the most enjoyable with MDC the first opening my eyes. The Le Pere Lucien was an unexpected delight. This is what I've ended up with as to soap rotations. The Klar's came today and the test lathering as quick and easy and on and on. I will shave with it tomorrow.

    Some of the better creams are next to try and develop a cream rotation.

    jmercer,
    I like your product lineup. This is good stuff. The Klar Seifen soap is one of my favorites. Of course, Le Pere Lucien is exceptional.

    I must say that is a really neat system for organizing your soaps. Mine are just in a pile in the corner of my counter....

    I'm fortunate to have a shave den/half bath all to myself. 28" x 62" inches of bliss...
