Of the 60+ soaps I have tried, the following are the ones I would buy again.

MDC
Tabac
Castle Forbes
Czech & Speake

When I run out of the 36+ in my cache, these four will remain.

Obie I hope you get the chance to try the Acca Cappa, my friend Peter sent me some and its on my list to get as soon as I get back home from the field. as hard as it is for me to agree with ole Big its some really good stuff. it wont knock off my first 2 choices but its reall y running a close 3rd and when I get a jar I'm going to see how it works after a couple of weeks use.

I,m with you Dave, but as for the Czech & Speake , have not gotten any yet must try, and like you I will never be out of Tabac, it graces my shave den in the RV out here in the field,, a workhorse to be sure, ( by the way the razor looks great, I was looking for it in the shave of the day thread , but als not there) TC

A day later, TC

Hmmm...my list is very prone to changing, but today I'm gonna have to say it's these...

MDC Rose
Castle Forbes Lime
La Savonniere du Moulin 30% Donkey Milk
Envy Shave Winter Forgage
Boellis Panama 1924

And, yes, Obie, I remember the Boellis burns your skin like acid, but I couldn't have a more different experience with it. When I use it, it's like being kissed by Italian angels.

I have not tried many creams or soaps, but here are my top five.

Art of Shaving Lavender Cream
Nomad Shave Soap
Cella shave Soap
Maca Root Shave Cream
C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream

The Art of Shaving lavender cream is also in my collection. It is a worthwhile cream no question. Just not in my top 5

Off the top of my head, here are five:

1. Haslinger sheep's milk (I could use this one every day)
2. Vitos eucalyptus and lanolin cream (after finishing a 500 ml bag, you'll know how good it is)
3. Stirling Ozark Mountain (great with an edge off an Arkansas stone)
4. C.O. Bigelow shave cream (mentholated reminder of my Atra shaving days)
5. Valobra shave stick (gotta go on the road from time to time)

I want to try the Czech and Speake.

1. Castle Forbes
2. XPEC
3. Tabac
4. Speick
5. TBD
