    Thanks for all the pointers. As for the last post, would those brands also be good for conditioning and sensitive skin? Cause I need help there too.

    I'm not as experienced with other brands as some of the guys here, but TGQ creams are very moisturising in my experience, but e ven her soaps are good. I didn't want to try soaps at first for the same reason, but now I shave regularly with her leatherneck soap.

    Default What Is A Good Soap?

    Gentlemen,

    I have tried many soaps through the years. The ones I continue to use are:
    Mitchell's Wool Fat, Mama Bear (unscented), Truefitt & Hill and Pre de Province. I love these soaps.

    I also recommend Tabac, as well as the relatively inexpensive Caswell-Massey, even though I no longer use them.

    Ah, there is so much good stuff out there.

    Regards,

    Obie

    I keep hearing good things about that wool fat soap. Is it good for sensitive skin?
    I want to try the sample pack of the straight razor designs branded essential oils soaps, they look good.
    Thanks for the feedback everybody.

    I always like the van der hagen soap, it always lathers up very nice for me!

    Soaps and Creams are separate things, and Uberlather recipes are not always good...

    I have tried 100's of combo's, some are bad, some are ok, most are good, and a few are excellent...

    First the cream, two stand out has the most universally good mixers "Kiss my face" and the Old formula of "The Body Shop" if you can find it... These two mix with just about any soap..

    My personal absolute best shaving Uberlather is MWF and Musgo Real and 5 drops of Glycerin... (Lanolin Overload) Nothing has ever beat that...

    Another top line Uber is TOBS Lavender and Castle Forbes Lavender with 5 drops of glycerin (English Garden)

    If you look in the SOTD threads you will find tons of recipes that we use... Now if I mis-read your post and you were not talking about the actual mixes I am sorry...

    Mitchell's wool fat is among the best soaps money can buy, excellent for the skin, as long as you are not allergic to wool (wool alcohols);-).

    Al raz.

    Is the wool fat soap glycerine based? It sounds like an awesome soap.

    It is high in WOOL FAT (lanolin).
    It is not a glycerin based soap but has glycerin listed as an ingredient.
    It is a tallow (sodium tallowate) based soap.

    We always talk about the same soaps. TGQ, which I don't like and think is over rated, IMO. Tabac is great, MWF, great too, Any triple milled soap, but everyone overlooks SRD's soap. They are truly awesome. I used the Lime today, not only does it smell intoxicating, The lather is off the hook, no need to uber anything. One good loading session on my Rooney, transfer to my scuttle and I have ridiculous lather...
    I should make a video. I think there soaps can stand up to any of the top brands, and do not get the credit they deserve. I'm impressed each and eveytime I use them, and they are quickly becoming my top soap.
    We have assumed control !
