Cella, Tabac or MWF!... They are an exact tie!

What is the Best Shave soap you've ever tried.

Right now Mystic Water Coconut.
Dial, yellow
OK, this is a sad, sad tale.
I think the question for this thread is a good one, but the answer is hard. The best shave soap depends on more than the soap, your water, face (if you face lather), brush, how well you work the lather, etc.
I have a working rotation but this morning it all came together, a recently broken in Semogue 610 which was an OK performer until this morning, the temperature was good, I had time to work the lather properly the tub of soap was well hydrated. It was just one of those perfect moments and the result of using my tub of P.160 was a very thick and creamy yoghurt like lather which was even better than normal, so best soap I've ever tried was P.160 which should fill me with joy, but the other side of me says that this soap is no longer made and so the remaining stocks in my possession and in the wild is dwindling and so this knowledge is somewhat bittersweet.
Thank goodness I have stocks of Cella.

MWF for me.
MdC, Harris and Tabac aren't far behind but for me it's still MWF.

StubbleShaver, you crack me up!
Throw in a scented MdC and you've pretty much got it covered; the 4 i would not want to be without.
AoS Sandalwood.
However, haven't tried that many.
Surprisingly, Mike's Bay Rum is a close second.

Palmolive soap stick, wow. I think that I may have finally found the holy grail. Had the best shave ever the other day, using some Lord blades I got with with an old razor, and managed a superb 3 stage pass, perfect. Only 50 pence from Tesco/Asda in the UK. Sorry to anyone else, but if you can find some, try it??
I haven't tried that many, but so far MWF has been the best. The Razo Rock Artisan was very close as well.
Palmolive Euro stick but it could be Tabac if you ask on a colder day.
I must admit I only tried 4 soaps so far (Vergulde Hand, Palmolive, Tabac and C&E Sandalwood).

Mystic Water, no comparison.
Definitely Mikes Shave Soaps
