What Shaving Soap is in your rotation?

[psybako]

Go to soaps are Razorock (XXX and p.160), harder soaps are PdP and DR Harris Arlington (mostly just trying to use the DRH up, it underperforms compared to other stuff in the den), VdH Luxury is in there somewhere, new acquisitions are Mike's (Lime, Orange/Cedarwood/Black Pepper, and took a chance and blind bought Vetiver - smells nasty). Then there are the creams...

 

[Thalasos]

Kent (same as MWF)
Lea Classic
L'Occitane Cade (juniper scent)
Saponificio varesino Felce Aromatica v4.0
All of them are hard soap puck

 

[Morik]

More soaps on the way, but currently:
- Mystic Water "Prospect Creek" (a peppermint/menthol soft soap)
- MWF
- Haslinger Schafmilk
- Barrister & Mann unscented
- Valobra unscented
- A tub of XPEC cream (more of a croap?), unscented, that I haven't really been using so I guess it isn't really part of my rotation right now .

 

[Stubblefield]

Having tried pretty much everything on the market, I have my rotation down to three:

La Toja Stick
Le Pere Lucien
Sante Maria Novella

All face lathered, of course.

 

[FL shaver]

No rotation. One at a time. C&E Sandalwood now. Valobra Menthol next.

 

[AbbyW2]

I have been alternating between Ginger's Garden bay rum and barbers quartet. After Tuesday, I'm going to try some Stirlings and Techichi Tinder. Then I will dig back into my samples piles.

I use use all of these in überlather with TOBS almond cream

 

[Boba81]

B&M Seville. Yum.

 

[txfordguy]

For those of you with RR Tight Buns, do you find the scent to be faint? I got mine in the mail last night and upon smelling it, I could barely pick up anything. Thought the smell might come through more when lathered, but nope. Still faint.

The Tabac stick sees occasional and travel duty. When I finish any of these, I have a new tub of Shaver Heaven Spiced Mahogany and a new puck of Haslinger Sandalwood.

These four have been getting a lot of love lately;
Proraso green tub
Razorock Lime (love the scent of this)
La Toja stick (transferred to pyrex bowl)
Taconic Lime & Tequila

These will see more action come summer;

TOBS Peppermint
Razorock Fresco

These get used occasionally;
Razorock Don Marco
Cella red tub

Lea stick

Western,

What are your thoughts on Taconic Shave? For me, it's tied with Valobra Menthol as my best performer. I don't see many comments about Taconic, so I always ask.
