    If I had to list five today it would be these:
    1. L'Occitane Cade
    2. Mitchell's Wool Fat
    3. Arko Shavestick
    4. Proraso
    5. VDH Glycerin

    That said I will admit to being a bit of a soap slut and next week the top five could look totally different. My next SAD wave will include
    TABAC
    CELLA
    IRISH MOOS
    These three have been on my "gotta try" list for quite some time but I just never got around to it.

    Fun thread, guys! I'll play:

    AoS
    Glacier Smoothie
    Williams Mug
    Gillette Foamy
    Aveda

    I've never tried MWF but from reading y'alls preferences I think I should. Does it actually have lanolin ("wool fat") in it? That would be really good.

    All this talk of soaps is killing me. I started out with one soap and one cream and then went... cream crazy. Time to expand my horizons I think . There seems to be quite a few brands that are re-appearing here.

    I feel another AD coming on .

    Hi Ash,
    If I was to say that my once favourite Arlington has been knocked off the top spot, that's how great the Windsor soap is, IMO. The usual expected performance from Harris but with an even better scent. The scent is identical to the rest of the Windsor range.
