Thread: Hooked on artisan soaps

So what I gather from that is that you think most all soaps are sub par and not much impresses you! Wow thanks for sharing the negetivity.

You're welcome; but you gather wrong, as I said that not that many soaps are outstanding, which is quite different from "sub par".

Now, "negetivity" is actually spelled "negativity" - and if it makes you happy following the latest trend, go for it.


It's just that for my part I rather wait and see, but I would never assume to tell others what to do.

I have been using Barrister and Mann soaps almost exclusively for the past year. I'm sure others here are probably tired of me proclaiming its superiority. And one of the greatest values is their Latha line of soaps. Inexpensive and it beats the competition in my mind. The scents can be quirky but the performance surpasses all other soaps, mass produced or otherwise, IMO.

Cold River Soap Works is excellent as are a few others. Exceptionally consistent across the board which is kinda hard to do "in a bathtub" I would imagine.

This week I just tried a "Mama Bears" glycerin soap (it's clear), which was an excellent experience. I also am a fan of Wet Shaving Products "Rustic Shaving Soap" & "Formula T" and Route 66 shaving soap from retroshaveshop.com. These all provide excellent shaves with very little if any irritation. These all have a myriad of pleasant scents to try, and I doubt anyone would be disappointed, especially for the price. I have MDC, Antica Barberia Colla, Castle Forbes, etc. but these "cheap" artisan soaps get used more often. Through the Fire Fine Craft has a great soap too, they make the soaps for Maggard Razors.
