-Stirling
-Soap Commander
-Route 66
-Barrister and Mann (Just revisited lately, and all the excitement is well earned.)
-I Coloniali Mango (Just bought a pot before it was gone forever, and this is pretty amazing stuff, especially the scent.)

 

I just revisited my first post on this thread in September and my favs are pretty much exact:

1) Vintage Williams (Tallow)
2) AOS (Tallow)
3) Tabac
4) Mike's (all flavors)
5) MWF

 

Ut better be,(a work in progress). I need to wait quite a while before I can fairly make a choice of 3-5.

 

Hm.

1. Williams.
2. Colgate.
3. ??? Been a while since I used soaps.

 

I'd like to try that Colate sometime.

 

Same

 

1. Arko Sandalwood
2. Stirling Spice
3. Arko Avon Spicy
4. Stirling Barbershop
5. Arko Almond
6. Stirling Ozark Mountain

 

My top 5 no particular order
1. Razorock - Tuscan oud
2. Tabac
3. Mystic water - vetiver
4. Razorock - e.o. Lavender
5. Aos - peppermint shave cream

 

My absolute favorites

*Stirling - Sharp Dressed Man
*R66 - Sweeney Todd
DH Harris - Arlington

* Have several other scents

 

Nice to know someone else is using the route 66 soap as well. I have 2 scents the black pearl and Cavendish and they are both pretty awesome. How long do you load your brush with this soap to achieve a slick lather for a 3 pass shave?

1) Taylor of old bond street hard soap
2) Proraso sandalwood shaving cream (yes I know it's a cream but it's better than the soap for me)
3) route 66 Cavendish
4) route 66 black pearl
5) stirling (in mail). Had tried a sample earlier and loved it.

Ok I will play.

In no particular order these are soaps I have tried and would buy again.

1. Martin de Candre
2. Mystic Water
3. Reef Point
4. Route 66
5. Jabonman

 

I got mine in a bulk lot of soaps years ago. Soaps last forever for me.

 

Now that I've used Soap Commander (two scents: Courage & Fortitude) and Crowne & Crane ('Tobacco Leaf & Amber" "Cubans & Cognac"), I would add both to my top list of fine soap. All excellent performing soaps

 

There are SO many great performers out there today, it is nearly impossible to make a list of 3-5, unless you only use 3-5.

 

Not long. It is one of the easier soaps to lather in my opinion. I probably load for less than 20 seconds and get plenty of lather for 3+ passes.

 

I'd like to try all four before my days are done.

 

Why not join a soap passaround? It is the BEST way to try many soaps quickly and cheaply. Your "wet shave IQ" will jump drastically.

 

Right, I'll look into that sometime. I'm satisfied for now, though....
