I have to second shavingessentials.net. It's personal, in that they carry the most dense percentage of soaps that I have grown to like very much through trial and error the past few years - Provence Sante, Institut Karite, Tabac, Speick stick, Mitchell's Woolfat, Ogallala Bay Rum. All from one source, with about the best prices I've seen on each.
They've never backordered me, fast shipping, and every order I get a hand-written thank-you note on beautiful card stock, plus a free sample of something nice.
One of the hassles of having odd personal grooming tastes is the number of different places I have to do little mail orders with to keep myself stocked. When it comes to soaps, being able to buy from one place is nice for a change.

At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, John of shavingessentials.net was my inspiration to get into this crazy business. He's a wonderful fella and runs a good business. He gives great customer service and to be honest, I don't expect I'll ever be able to come close to having as good a reputation as the one he has earned.

I'd like to second Connaught shaving--Paul Mayhew's a great guy to shop from, and he has great products--not least of which are his own brand. That Three crowns Aftershave Milk is magic on a "bad face day", as I like to call them.

Just made a purchase from Connaught.
Got the MWF in the ceramic dish -~$20 !!!! That's a deal right there!
Also went for a bowl of the DR Harris Arlington, as I've been meaning to try it, and the town I live in is also named Arlington, so that somehow justifies everything......
Harris in a bowl was also ~$20
Total, including shipping was under $60.
I'll go to Shaving Essentials for Tabac (can never have too much...) in the Tabac dish, and perhaps a tube or two of Wars cream....
Unless, of course I decide to throw some money at a puck of this stuff that Loudeecat is pushing as of late...

can't believe I forgot to mention shavingshop.com
It's run by John Crowley (of this forum) and you'll be hard pressed to find better customer service. John is a gentleman and will hook you up with whatever you need.

If we weren't such a gentlemanly crowd, we'd probably be at blows over soaps and creams...

That C&S is calling me, as well. For tabac, if you are looking, you might try Discount Perfume,Discount Cologne and Discount Fragrances at FragranceX.com. They usually have it for about 18.99, which isn't the cheapest, BUT they offer free worldwide shipping (use the coupon code Free at checkout) which makes it pretty darned cheap. They also have the puck for 7.99...with free shipping? Out of sight. Originally Posted by Seraphim

Heads up for shavingessential they do carry lots of god soaps and creams and they are a pleasure to do business with, - but I'm sure you find that most shops have a huge variety of soaps and creams..
Good luck picking one out
