The Keepers

**Obie** · 10-21-2011, 11:20 PM

Ah, my dear thebigspendur, what an intriguing lineup of the great soaps. I especially remember the essences of Earth, Wind and Fire from my San Francisco days in the 60s. Indeed, I have tried all the ones you mentioned, and have been impressed by all, and given them their own spot in my little kingdom of soaps. I know good stuff when I see it, cousin.

None, though, comes anyway near Senora Rufina's Pizza soaps, especially if you replace the morning coffee accompanying your shave with a bottle of Chianti and sing along "How dry I am . . ."

Soaps that I would put on the "Keep" list (which to me means that they will be replenished when depleted):

-Any of the 3 T's
-DR Harris
-MWF
-L'Occitane
-Tabac
-SRD Bulgarian Rose Otto

..... sorry, had to mention it even if SRD never makes it again

...But then again, who am I kidding? The way things are going I'll be collecting my pension by the time any of my soaps will need to be replaced!

My keepers:

Tabac
Trufitt and hill
Cella
Arko stick
Mitchells wool fat
Palm olive stick
Any from straiight razor designs.

OK, in my neck of the woods it will be:

MWF
Cella
Tabac
and last...Vintage blade triple milled soap Lavander in a wooden bowl....just excellent.HOG

Martin de Candre
Tabac
DR Harris Almond and Lavender
I Coloniali
C&E, all 3 scents
The rest of the shaving soaps have migrated to the shower.

Great list so far. The only one I haven't seen mentioned yet that is on my keeper list is Queen Charlotte Soaps Key Lime. I prefer it to Castle Forbes.

Obie, the Klar you refer to....is that Klar Kabinette, or their other flavors? I love the Klar Kabinette. Such a great rose scent. The only reason I won't put it down as one of my 'keepers' is that i've yet to try any other rose soaps. It is a GREAT soap, the quality of the lather is nearly identical to D.R. Harris, and the scent is light, but definitive. Makes me want to take a bite out of it.
And at the price, its a steal. 500g of soap for $20? YES PLEASE!

Also on my list of keepers is D.R. Harris Arlington.

Now to find myself strong citrus scent. I'm thinking C&S, since DC 1913 has been discontinued

**Obie** · 10-22-2011, 01:27 AM

Yes, Lazarus, an interesting soap variety here. Oh, by the way, Castle Forbes is actually a shave cream, and it is the only keeper among my creams once they run out.

The one I have is the Klar Siefen Sport shaving soap. That along with Scottish Fine Soaps make for two hits for me this week.

I love this thread because it works for me as a "what to try" thread
