    I agree on Castle Forbes and MdC. Pure excellent...

    Sounds like your using Van den Hagen....not bad!

    If u want something with manly scents, check into "Fine Accoutrements". They have matching after shave, for their soaps.
    They lather easy with any brush I've used, good cushion and glide, for under $20 YMMV

    If you don’t mind using a shaving stick La Tojo hits all those buttons to me.

    I can second both Fine Accoutrements and Herni et Victoria, as I've personally used them both. The Fine products may be some of the most underrated but ubiquitous soaps around and the Henri et Victoria is currently at the top of my list when it comes to performance (I have not tried MdC or several of Obie's tops yet, sample size is important).

    The one caution I'll pass along with Henri et Victoria is that it may cause issues for those with sensitive skin. The La Poire Francaise is an absolutely delightful scent in my opinion but it has caused some issues for me in regards to burn. During my first use it wasn't all that noticeable but I've had some pretty major issues with subsequent shaves. I've also had some issues with an old favorite so I've been experimenting with some routine changes and it will be interesting to see how things transpire when I try my changes with the French Pear.

    Great lead-- just looked at their shaving soaps and they have what sound like some great and unusual scents. They also offer 1 oz and 3 oz pucks. Definitely want to try some.

    George F. Trumper Glycerin shave soaps are awesome I prefer the almond scent. It’s a manly but mild scent. The soaps come is Re- fillable wooden bowls. It’s is available at Straight Razor Designs. I’ve been using this soap about 20 years

    Personally, I use mild soaps, many do not even suspect what is what are mild soaps.

    Personally, I use mild soaps, many do not even suspect what is what are mild soaps. The most popular element of hydration is glycerin. Soap with its content is softer than ordinary. Very often it looks light-transmitting or translucent from the outside. But consumers are obliged to know that such soap, produced industrially, does not always have great quality. Glycerin is considered a very capricious and unreliable substance. Crystal light transmission in such conditions can be achieved only by adding alcohol. The soap I use is made from real products.

    I have Duc De Santal too, one of my favourites and subtle enough that the wife doesn't get all stuffed up.

    I also have Cognac and Cuban Cigars as well as the Pear by Henri et Victoria and they're both excellent as well.
