next soap?

[CzechCzar]

Hello all,

I need some advice about what soap to buy next. I currently use tabac and love it. The warm smell, the soft feeling on my skin, is wonderful. I bought a tube of E&J cream, and it feels to... chilly. I definitely don't like menthol or any "cool" smells of sensations. I want to be warming up next to a fire on Christmas when I shave every morning.

I have heard a ton about a lot of exceptional soaps. What soaps would you recommend that meet the above criteria, and provide a moist, rich, comfortable shave? I don't want anything that will be too harsh on my skin... basically, tabac, but by another name with a different scent. Any recommendations? Or should I just rest happy knowing I have already discovered the best?

If you like Tabac you'd most likely enjoy Arko SS and Speick SS. MWF is probably the most moisturizing soap around and it has a light powdery pleasant scent to it.

Art of Shaving Soap matches your description pretty accurately.

Personally, I never look for a soap to be "moisurizing". That's what lotions and balms are for. What I want from soaps is a slick, coushioning lather.

Prairie Creations in the scent of your choice.

If you can get the lather right, MWF will work for you. My personal favorite is a Speick shave stick milled into a container.

DR Harris ... pick your scent. Arlington is a good one though :drool:

+1 on the Arko shave stick.

The group discount for Provance Sante has made up my mind for me. Thanks for all your help!

Tabac is a non-visible third in my book. MFW is a very far distant 2nd. And Prairie Creations tallow with aloe vera and wheat protein beats all challengers.

That's my story (opinion) and I'm sticking to it! :biggrin:

What does wheat protein (gluten?) bring to the party, Mitch?
