I was reading a thread elsewhere on this and got to thinking about my top soaps/creams.
These are mine ...............
Palmolive I picked Palmoilive for my #1 as I just can't get enough of this. The biggest selling point for me is the fact that it's cheap and available off the shelf here in the UK, and certainly one of the few products available to us pretty much anywhere. The lather from it is really nice and the scent whilst not being fancy is pretty nice. A really clean and soapy scent that reminds me of my childhood somehow. It seems that every time I visit the local supermarket a stick or two follows me home.
Erasmic The shave cream from Erasmic is a fantastic product. Again it much the pull for me as the Palmolive. Cheap, relatively plentiful and a great lather and scent. I try to keep as much of this on stock as my SWMBO lets me get away with.
Tabac What can I say? Super lather-ability that is pretty much the Gold Standard of shave soaps and a really interesting and manly scent. I have the matching AS and Cologne to this. A really great product.
I was only going to pick three but decided to add in a fourth. That one would be Speick. I would gladly swap this with Tabac if only three soaps/creams were allowed. The lather from the Speick stick is amazing and the scent? my word, the scent is to die for! It almost transports me to the meadows of the Alps. A wonderful product. I just wish it were more widely available.
So what are your top soaps/creams?
