You do realize that there are dozens of soaps to try, and that several companies may use a different recipe for a different scent, adding or subtracting more or less that just scent. this means that to be effective you would need to try an entire product line. Some of these soaps are 3-4$ and some are 20-30$ per tub, tube or bar. This may end up taking some serious time and serious cash! Good luck!
Sorry for the late response. I didn't receive the usual email notification for some reason.

I'm initially going to do cake soaps (both hard soaps and glycerin soaps) as creams are a different puppy all together.

yea I expect it to take some time. I'm just trying to get the baseline currently. With any good test of existing products/conditions you need a current standard to start from. While I have sensitive skin I don't get the irritation from most facial soaps that a lot of sensitive skin people do so I won't be able to effectively rate soap irritability as some will.

I could just start with my own soaps since I haven't even found a good glycerin soap that compares to my own, mine provide excellent lather, lubricity, whisker softening, and I have salt saponified soaps for sensitive skins that haven't been beat yet but that would put all of you at a disadvantage if I decide mine are best overall . Besides that may be just a bit biased, just a tad
