Thread: Opinion: Soap

I love Colleens soaps at the Gentlemans quarter, handcrafted with the right blend of fragrances. If you haven't tried any of hers I highly recommend it. I love the oak and moss as well as her highlander and bay rum. Its not the "usual" stuff. Definitely a step up in fragrance, latherabilty and glide.

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.
