    Default Which soap would you buy?

    Given these three choices, and these three choice ONLY, which would you buy, and why?

    1) The Bath House's Spanish Fig and Nutmeg soap.

    2) Provence Sante Green Tea soap.

    3) Gentleman's Best shaving soap.


    Rules:
    1) No saying "All three."
    2) No saying "Tabac," or "MWF," or "GFT Rose," or "Penhaligon's EF Old Forumlation," or any of your other favorite soaps. I already know which soaps are God's gift to mankind. I want you to choose one of the above three, OK?

    I've only tried #2 and it is really quite nice. I'd rate it as an as good or better than Tabac product. I've heard great things about the GB soap and it's at the top of my "to buy" list. Best of luck

    Haven't tried either of them but I would choose #2 or #1 both seem quite promising. Also green tea is good for hydratimg skin and sensitive skin I think.

    #3. Only tried GB a few times and sold it because I had too much of a selection of soaps.

    Not sure but it is very similar to SCS soap IMO.

    I've only tried the bath house Spanish fig & nutmeg, but it's probably my favorite scent out of the 50 soaps and creams I've tried. As a soap, it's average, so I'll have it for a long, long, long, long, long time. Just like 40 of the others.

    2) Is my favorite soap - for the best combination of lubricating lather and what it does for my skin. Never used the other 2

    - Tabac makes the best lather which protects better -IMO

    I would just get up earlier in the morning or shave the night before.

    Seriously, of those on your list, I've only used the GB, and it is certainly a worthy contender.

    I have wondered about this, does SCS make the GB soap?
