Mike?s Natural Soaps
Contains tallow, which gives me a great shave. I REALLY like the Bay Rum, but he has lots of scents. Very reasonable too."Our times are characterized by a perfection of means and a confusion of ends" -- A. Einstein

Thanked: 1195I get suspicious of any product that describes itself as "all natural" as it usually turns out to be a bunk claim. Most true all natural (aka "artisan") products do not lather well at all; I suspect some of the more unnatural ingredients help out in this area.
Sorry that I can't be of any more assistance...

Re: A Few All Natural Soap & Cream Recommendations
Have you tried the search feature? I did a quick search of "natural" in the Soaps & Creams forum and came up with 259 results to browse.
I feel like this question comes up every couple of weeks...
That being said,
Al's Shaving makes some phenominal products that I really like and enjoy, Al is also a member here.
I'm also a big fan of L'Occitane. It's organic and all natural and works splendidly. Currently have a sale for a 1oz cream and a 1oz ASB for $20 from their website. It's well worth it.
I would imagine that Mitchell's Wool Fat is also natural and I think Nancy Boy may be as well.
I'm probably missing a bunch of options but those spring to mind as I have experience with the first two and the second two are on my list for next year.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Try Prairie Creations, CRE Loaded 6 - Prairie Creations It's all natural and tallow based. I don't care very much for Mikes. Many like it though.
Mitchell's wool fat is a good one too and Nancy Boy.
MDC or Martin De Candre from France, (on the expensive side) has only six ingredients.
I'm not sure if these soaps really fall into the "All Natural" Category. PC, Mikes, Nancy Boy and MDC are hand crafted, but they do use soap makers indredients.
Actually, if you Google "All natural shave soap" you'll get pages and pages of hits....Last edited by zib; 11-24-2012 at 04:58 PM.

I think all these "natural soap" claims stretch the natural thing by quite a bit. There are chemicals that are natural based in part and often times they claim these. I'm just skeptical.

Very few good soaps or creams are currently all natural/organic/vegan, although there is a trend towards more showing up, some of which are decent performers. beyond Artisan products, I can think of a couple: Muehle makes a certified organic and vegan line of products. Pacific Shaving makes a Certified Organic shaving cream. I haven't tried the Muehle, but assume that it is pretty good. I have used the Pacific cream, and like it. I don't know of any soaps, although Cella and Valobra come fairly close ( the soft soap of the latter is vegetable based.)
