I always see threds about what are your top soaps performance wise? But what I’m curious about is. What are your top 5 soap/cream that you reach for and use the most frequently? For me in no particular order. Vito’s green from a kilo. As you will see,I like to use Italian soaps a lot. Proraso Green in the late spring through the summer and the red more for the rest of the year. Turkish shave sticks. Arko, Jikoryen get lot’s of use. Especially on work days. Razorock what the puck. The blue barbershop as it’s one of my favorite scents. Green is a nice one too. CBL seems to be the American artisan that I reach for the most. Usually on the weekends or days off. So that is my top 5 most used. Look forward to hearing, what your list will look like?
These are most definitely my current top five. All are hard pucks except for the Mike’s (which is the hardest of all the artisan soaps I’ve tried). As you can see I have a strong preference for tallow based soaps MWF DRH Arlington DRH Marlborough Fine’s Snake Bite Mike’s Unscented A few honorable mentions that are super close in the six spot, but you asked for five
I have been hunting for a stick of Jikoryen for a while now. Seems to be sold out everywhere… in no particular order Arko tub at home Arko stick for travel Stirling Bay Rum and Black Cherry TOBS in any citrus scent Cella
in no particular order: vito's limoncello tobs shave shop seaforth zingari man.. these 5 seem to be on the counter the most lately,with various others jumping the queue on a semi frequent basis.
Scents aren't terribly important to me, so I go by brands. For me in no particular order: Stirling Williams (Sadly RIP, but I bought a bunch at $0.99 as they were being discontinued) Dr. Jon's (Sadly RIP) Haslinger Did I mention Stirling?
My current favourites: Tabac (original/veggie) love ‘em both. MdC Rose Southern Witchcrafts Samhain SV Manna TOBS Peppermint Paul
The soaps/creams I reach for most often are Tabac, Mike's, TOBS, Proraso, and Stirling. I've tried a bunch of different ones and keep coming back to these.

Hoping @Ksblazer as OP doesn’t object. I’d like to modify my list just a wee bit… Mitchell’s Wool Fat DRH Arlington/Marlborough Fine’s Snake Bite Mike’s Unscented Valobra/AoS Unscented Vintage Williams
No objections While I have plenty of soaps and creams. I haven’t tried everything out there. So I’m enjoying everyone’s replies.
All my soaps get equal use as I'm pretty consistent working the rotation. That said, I only use what I like and like what I use. Stirling TSD Tabac VDH Fine American Blend I have about 14-15 pucks I'm working through.
