Thread: Are there any more good tallow triple-milled soaps - besides DRH, MWF, Tabac and C&S?

Is the Palmolive shave stick triple milled?

I find it comparable to Tabac and D. R. Harris- it just doesn't smell as good. Plus, the Palmolive soap is limited to stick version only.

Don't know about Palmolive, but other sticks I've used were not triple-milled as they probably wanted the soap to be softer for easier application directly from the stick.
I never saw Palmolive mentioned as someone's first-tier soap. Do you find it that good?

Another vote for Green Mountain soap. The scents aren't as strong as others but it"s a great soap in my opinion. to me it compares favorably with MWF and others.

I think performance wise Palmolive falls just short of Tabac and D. R. Harris. It can produce a thick, slick lather. Also, it is pretty decent at moisturizing. I'm surprised by how good it is every time I use it. It takes a little longer for me to build a lather with the stick (face lathering) compared to my Harris stick. The Palmolive soap doe smell very similar to the dish washing soap which is detraction for me.

That's right, I forgot about that older incarnation AOS stuff and yeah it meets all the requirements...heh. Plus even though it's extinct that ebay seller has been offering em for less than old retail prices. Used it myself with excellent results but the scent wasn't for me.

Haven't seen someone offering the old tallow formula. Do you by any chance remember this seller's nickname?

But of course! One of the best threads of all the shaving forums I even participated a couple of times, and definitely got much poorer because of it (but much richer with wonderful experiences).
The problem is, it's a HUGE thread, and it doesn't concentrate neither on tallow nor on triple-milled soaps, which as I see now is a rather small portion of the first-tier list. That's why I opted for opening dedicated thread.

I do have it! Bought on ebay in April from a seller named madison-ave-deals. Three sealed NOS pucks for $35 shipped. Oh, one important point is there's most likely just one scent available......luckily it's sandalwood. The AOS line was known for an excellent soap in that flavor and when available/being made the soaps were $22. Yep, a lot at the time.

Thanks! Their eBay store is currently empty, but I'll check it again from time to time.
