The Obie Memorial First Tier Soaps and Creams Thread.

[nessmuck]

This and that . . .

Gentlemen,

After much consideration, and with all the conflicting thoughts offered by our friends here, I feel I should move Le Pere Lucien soap to the Second Tier. It's a good soap, but not good enough to sit at the same table with, say, Martin de Candre, Klar Seifen or Castle Forbes. I stopped using it a while back for some of the same negative reasons friends have offered here.

The Los Angeles Shaving Company sent me a tub of its Fougrere shave soap with my purchase of the BBS-1 safety razor. The razor is dazzling in looks and glorious as a shaver. The soap has impressed me enough to deserve a Second Tier seat in our lineup. I like the fragrance, which is pleasantly mild. The soap lathers well, is moist, and has good cushion and glide. It's good stuff.

Obie...tell me more about that BBS-1 razor ? Is it available...and where ? Thanks everyone
