    Default mamma bear soaps

    Hello all. I have read great things about the mamma bear soaps here on SRP and I thought that I would give it a try, but there are so many scents to choose from.... Any suggestions?? What's your favorite? I know that it is a personal pref, but I figure numbers can't lie. Thanks in advance.

    While I'm new to sr8s I've been DE shaving for some time. Mamma bears soaps are all pretty good. The menthol ones are a hood refreshing way to start a hot day. Dragons blood irritates most including me. The sandalwood vanilla one is great so is the aged spice. Id say just try some out. Good luck.

    Hello, mattconn: Mama Bear soaps are glycerin-based and of high quality. At times Sue Clark, the owner and soap mistress, has 50 different scent going. One of my preferred fragrances is Ye Olde Barbershop. I also like lavender. Really, it is difficult to suggest a fragrance, because what I prefer might not work for you. Go with the fragrances you think you like and choose one. Do you like lavender? Or an exotic blend? Read the descriptions Sue offers and choose one.

    I recommend buy a couple of her sample packs. I'm making my way through a couple now, and they are all great soaps.

    I wonder how she gets the oil for the Cannabis scent?!!

    I like to combine the cannabis and bacon scents.

    Cannabis first and then switch to the bacon when I get the munchies!

    Seriously though I don't actually have either of those scents, but I really like the earl grey tea and the cucumber and mint. Those are great and lather really nicely.

    I agree with my friend Obie; Try Ye Olde Barbershop.

    I've liked all Mama Bear soaps that I've tried.

    Is the lather from MamaBear soaps any different than the lather from the SRD soaps ? ie: Slickness/glide/cushion for the razor, stays wet longer, etc.

    I like the dublin tweed, rosemary mint, and cabin in the woods. Those are just the favorites of the ones I've tried, I have never been disappointed with any of the many I have tried.
