LOL! I love MNS with all the different scents and killer performance, just not as easy to lather compare to Tabac. Still doesn't shy me away from enjoying them. I want to know how 1OldIG is going to like Tabac? And what other soaps have you tried? Double O

Soap wise I'm pretty much all over the map. Here lately Arko has been my go to just because I have a bunch of it and not much of anything else. For a while I was on a soap kick and had a whole bunch of soaps so I decided I'd finish some of them off before I bought any more.

Soaps I've tried:
1. VDH Deluxe and Glycerin (of the two I prefer glycerin but it's hard to find locally and if I'm gonna order soap on line it won't be VDH.)
2. Williams again locally available, cheap but kind of picky and only passable lathering
3. The Shave Den: All over the map but the two stand outs were Iced Sub Zero and Coconut Lime Verbena
4. The Gentlemen's Quarter: Tried a couple the best was Leatherneck
5. Shavesticks- Palmolive, Speick (I really like Speick) of course Arko (great stuff cheap, easy lathering, great shaves, a great value for the money)
6. L'Occitane Cade and Mitchell's Wool Fat (these two are tied for first place both are fantastic.)
7 Cella maiden voyage was tonight's unscheduled haircut. I kind of get the idea it would do better mug lathered than the direct method. Good lather though and it smelled nice too.
8. Tabac will get the maiden voyage tomorrow morning
9. Clearly Natural Honeysuckle: Although not really a purpose built shaving soap the glycerin content makes it a decent shave soap, nice thick, slick lather. Locally available at Publix for about $1.25 a bar. I've been thinking of trying it out as a pre-shave.
