    Institut Karite is at the top of my list to try -- once I'e used a lot more of my stash. I'd also like to get some of the different "inexpensive" stuff -- J.M. Fraser, Ingram, Gillette, etc.

    BTW, my custom TSD scent was Bergamot/Patchouli/Peppercorn (very nice!) -- in soap and cream. The Tea Tree is great too.

    More TSD, of course!

    To me, all this is in its infancy, so I guess I have loads of soaps to try!

    a few more Tryphon and TSD soaps are on my "next" list, but I have to decide which ones.

    Jeff, for what it's worth, my favorite TSD soaps are Bay Rum (top of the list!), Patchouli and Vetiver. I have a dozen and those are the ones I find myself using the most. Maybe I'll ask JoAnna if she would mix up a batch of all three! :cool:

    That's one I have to bring into work. We did a lot of re-arranging over the holidays and I need to dig some stuff out.

    The Valobra Almond soap is suppose to be the consistency of clay or putty.

    Yea, I think it does...I have the Menthol version of it and it is like putty or dehydrated cream, seems like it pretty good stuff though.

    Neale, Isaac, that Valobra soap is so good for the skin as well! ;)

    just found a new one for my to try list.
    I guess it comes in two scents and the Pere is supposed to be better.

    Looking at your list, I just realized that there A LOT more soaps for me to try. I know this is gonna be a pain for someone but which ones are triple-milled soaps? I'm staying away from glycerin for a while. Thanks. :o
