Your favorite shaving soap and why?

**Scipio** · 05-19-2010, 04:40 PM

Best 2 soaps? Cella which produces mounds of creamy lather, and MWF.

I've tried many soaps and like these best.

I also like creams and the Bomb and Pehanlligon's are my top 2.

Wow! Would be hard to pick just one. Here are the ones I have in active rotation at the moment.

Tabac
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Czech & Speake N0.88 and Oxford & Cambridge
Art of Shaving Sandalwood & Lemon
Prairie Creations 'Old Spice' & 'Clubman'
Ogallala Bay Rum, Sage & Cedar
DR Harris Marlborough

It's hard to answer this sort of question on here, but reading all the interesting responses is great!

I've split my response by season: spring, summer and winter.

For winter I'd say Tabac. It lathers as easily as any soap I've tried and is very moisturising.

My summer soap is Trumper's Rose which is also my first soap ever. Superb moisturising properties when lathered with a little water. Any sensitivity on the skin and I go for this soap by default.

Spring soap is Sir Irisch Moos. Wouldn't leave for a trip without it now, although had it a lot less than the others.

I tryed most soaps and creams. it was only last month i got my self MWF. I am sticking with it now i love the slickness the bowl and the neutral smell and it suits my skin.

I wish I could say the same!! Got quite a bit of irritation from it. Don't know if it's the lanolin or what, but it was not a pleasant experience

T&H Sandlewood and 1805.

Can't wait till they release the Sandlewood balm.

Straighrazor design sandalwood. Simply the best smelling sandalwood out there. Good and slick, the Opus-X is nice if you smoke cigars.

SRD Bulgarian Rose Otto I absolutely Love. I also am Quite fond of Colleen's soaps. TGQ's Lavender, BlackBerry Sage and Tequila Lime. But I Think the Bulgarian Rose Otto is my favorite pick.
