Thread: Foundation Soaps

This is an interesting premise. Pare down the variables to arrive at one standard by which brushes and razors can be judged. With all the soaps and scents that are out there, maybe it's for the guy who has tried just about everything. I'm still feasting, and still haven't tried many "classic" soaps like Tabac and MWF, but if I had to pare down the variables for testing purposes, I think it would boil down to two options right now, irrespective of scent: Haslinger and Stirling. And if it had to be just one, then Haslinger would get the nod.

I'm not saying that these are the best soaps, just that I have found them reliable and that I know them well enough to judge a razor's or a brush's performance by them. And come to think of it, I think I rated Haslinger as a "first tier" soap on the other thread.
