Thread: What's your favorite soap for its ability to make lather

That's a hard one. So many good soaps. but the best hard soap seems to be MDC.
I'm also pretty impressed with DR Harris soap, I just picked up the Marlborough Soap, and the Arlington Shave Cream...Thanks Ryan....

You used to have Prairie Creations, Artisan soap, Tallow based, I'm not sure if Krissy is still making it, but it was/is good stuff.

I've been getting really great lathers, both in the scuttle and on the face, from my MWF. Honourable mention goes to the eminently latherable Proraso.

Thick slick suds from Cella !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then in 2nd Proraso

Only three I will ever use,yes,they are packed in Deodorant containers as I face lather and am cheap

eflatminor,

For me, Cella & the tallow based Palmolive shave sticks give absolutley superb lather

Both are very well priced too

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

Gentlemen,
The choices run a long list and it is difficult to pick and choose. For luxurious lather, then, I'll have to go with three: Martin de Candre, Provence Sante, and D.R. Harris lavender.

The EU Palmolive stick and Arko stick for me, with the Wilkinson Sword stick thrown in for good measure. Speick stick works extremely well also.

I have to ask, why is your soap in old deodorant containers? How'd you get it in there? How do you apply the soap?

Intrigued...

I guess he is face lathering, you rub the stick on your face and create the lather directly on your face with the brush.
Personally I only do that when traveling, but it works great.

MWF and Tabac are summer soaps for me, they dry out way too fast in the winter. I use a homemade soap called suds law, it lathers super quick, thick, and doesn't dry out. proraso cream is always a good choice as well.
