Best Artisan Soap makers Today?

[EarlyRiser]

Hi Gents,

The artisan soap works seems in constant flux- which is a fantastic result of innovation if you ask me.

So as of today, who is your favorite artisan soapmaker- if price is not a factor?

[korbz]

Anthony @ Shaver Heaven is certainly up there.

 

[rodmonster]

There are loads of good ones. My favorites are:

Mickey Lee
Through the Fire Fine Craft
Strop Shoppe
Soap Commander

That is all.

 

[NeoXerxes]

Luxury soaps (price not object):

PannaCrema Nuavia Blu
Martin de Candre
Antica Barbieria Colla

Lower price but great performance:

Mystic Water (especially post-shave)
Barrister & Mann
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements (3.0 formula)

 

[Blade4vor]

Barrister & mann and Mike's Natural Soaps.

+1!

I'm with you! With honorable mention of Mystic Water and Shannon's. (And Nuàvia Blu and Rossa.... as long as price is no object!)

My favorites, in no particular order: Mike's, QCS, CRSW. These are all tallow.

In non-tallow: Captain's Choice, Mama Bear's.

I find tallow based soaps give me the most comfortable shaves. YMMV.

 

[WindsorCitrus]

Wow that's a tough question, there are so many good ones. At the moment I am really enjoying Soap Commander.

however the usual mentions, CRSW, MLSW, B&M and Dapper Dragon all are great artisans.

 

[sleepydad]

I am a huge fan of stirling

 

[1holegrouper]

Catie's Bubbles. I know the name itself is offputting but this is my favorite artisan soapmaker.

 

[TexLaw]

Dadgum. That's a tough question. I haven't found many that I'm not into. My favorites, at the moment, are B&M, Stirling, Mikes, Catie's Bubbles, Mystic Waters, Queen Charlotte's, and (the highly underappreciated) Country Club for Men.

 

[Pepin]

Queen Charlotte Soaps.

 

[nwohio]

Tiki Bar - Amanda has a PHD is Chemistry and her soaps are second to none. Both Tallow and Vegan, I prefer the Tallow.

Stirling, Mama Bears
