Maybe, I should have stated good artisan soaps, such as Mike's, Mystic Water, Jabonman, Stirling, Cold River, Declaration Grooming, Wholly Kaw, Shannon's, Eleven, MdC, et cetera. :)

Nah.. You worded it just fine..Some of us never grow out of the immature and silly jokes plus when you are in a "lock down" state your mind can get a little bored... You do have Laughter before Love & Shaving after all:)
And glad you mentioned Eleven Soaps..Dont read anyone saying much about the company on the forum but on a whim I picked up a tub of Amber,Patchouli & Oak and find it to be a fine soap..
Whatever provides a slick lather. Only preference I have is that in warmer and hot months, I prefer something mentholated and in cooler and down right cold weather, I prefer a Sandalwood scented soap and or cream.
I love strong scents and thats about my yardstick.
I prefer soap over cream although the rocky mountain sandalwood cream is almost good enough to have on toast.
I haven't bought any of the famous soaps and creams mentioned. I go for stuff like Blackbeard by WSP, that stuff is powerful strong smelling. I also go for Cognac and Cuban Cigar by Henri et Victoria, and The Stirling soaps etc.
If a new soap has a smell that ticks all my boxes i have to say i don't worry about the lather much. I just have to work harder at it and smell the stuff for longer :rock:
On a side note, I have got Pre de Provence 63, my personal view is it is so subtle that i only ever use it when I want to break in a new boar brush and get rid of the smell because the Pre de Provence doesn't seem to give the brush any soap smell to speak of which is great because i have a seperate dedicated brush for every soap I get and i am a fan of boar brushes.
To summarize, I love strong soap that probably don't lather like some and have a rotation of cheap beater razors that I love like my children.
