Soaps on your "to try" list

I've seen several threads of "if you only had one soap" or "what's your favorite soap", but never any that are "what are you really wanting to try next".

So, I'd like to know what others are aching to try out. I've tried quite a few, from $1.50 VDH soap to $30+ penhaligons/floris soaps. Of all the soaps I've tried, I still have the ones below that I want to try out;

Tabac
Joris
Institut Karite
TSD
Speick
Culmak (I've heard that T&H soap is the same thing, but don't know)
Gold Dachs/Rivivage
Olivia Soaps
Proraso Green tea
Osma Savon
Durance L'ome

And for background, these are what I've tried already;

Floris
Penhaligons
T&H
Trumpers
Taylors
La Toja
Lea
Boots
Palmolive
Arko
Wilkinson Sword (bowl and stick)
Mitchells/Kent
Ogallala Bay Rum
Pirates Cove Bay Rum
Williams
Van Der Hagen
Ver Gulde Hand
Honey Bee Spa
Saint Charles Shave
Susie Bubbles
Mama Bear
QED
Erasmic (bowl and stick)
Col Conk
L'Occitane
Pre De Provence
Provence Sante
Valobra
Art of Shaving
Cella Sapone
Vintage Yardley


..and I'm sure I'm missing a few that I've tried

 

Bump TSD to the top of that list. Any flavor, though I think Bay Rum is my favorite. Patchouli and Vetiver aren't far behind though.

 

My list isn't really in any apparent order, but you're right I'll probably try TSD next.

 

TSD Crystal Blue
Speick
Soaps I recommend.

I'd like to try: Boots

 

Hi All,
Not too long ago, I asked JoAnna if she could mix in some of her wonderful 'lime' in with the bay rum I was ordering. She did, and I might recommend that combo. The nice bump of lime makes the bay rum even more interesting to me.

A touch of lime with bay rum is very nice

i would like to give the penhaligon's english fern a go if i could pick it up for reasonable $$.

s~s

 

I put some of this is the revolving grab bag. I could never get the stuff to create decent lather.

 

Yeah, Osma and Durance L'ome barely made the list as I've heard good and bad about them.

 

Hmm,

I would like some more TSD soaps and would also like to try the AOS soap line......getting to the point where I know what I like these days...

Institut Karite soap remains my favorite thus far

 

I've tried many, but I'd still like to try:



Penhaligon's (English fern, Blenheim)
Floris (no.89 perhaps)
TGQ soaps (not sure of the flavor I'd like)
TSD soaps (not sure of the flavor I'd like)


so.....who'll be sending those my way?

 

+1 on the English Fern, I keep putting off getting it for some reason! Probably because I keep buying razors.... and I have far too many soaps as it is. However, I do have the Blenheim and you would have to do very nasty things to me to get that out of my grasp. I treated it to a Jet Black Penhalagons soap bowl (very classy) strangely; I only use it with my Mastro Livi as it is my favorite razor at the moment. (Pure luxury I guess)

 

+1 and not before I get mine.

 

I have the Penhaligons English Fern Soap, lathers nicely, shaves ok ....scent is not very good and barely resembles the cologne....

I have the old tallow based formula, the new formula will be coming out soon and I think for the most part is veggie based. Hope they improved the scent....

A good soap, but don't know that it's worth the lofty price.....

YMMV..............

How is the scent on the Blenheim Bouquet soap?

 

I very recently purchased a Tryphon Old Barbershop shaving stick. Why I didn't shave with it yet? For sure by Monday--it smells amazing!

 

I would like to try :

Art of Shaving Sandalwood
L'Occitane Vetiver
Speik
Tabac
Burt's Bees
Penhaligon's (anything)
Olivia's (anything)


Some favorites of mine: :drool

TSD Vetiver SS
Fraser's
Blix
De Ver Gulde Hand
WELEDA SC
Haslinger SS

 

That's a hell of an endorsement, judged against the field you listed. This one just went up near the top of my to-try list.

Others:
Provence Sante
Pre de Provence
D.R. Harris
Gold-Dachs

 

Hi Dave,

For me, it is a great soap....the 25% shea just works well for my skin type and I always seem to get a very nice shave using the IK...either with a DE or Straight....

I do recommend you give it a try, Provence Sante and Pre de Provence as also very nice...

YMMV though

 

BIG BIG BIG +1

IK rates over Tabac and MWF IMHO
