Need opinions on next soap purchase

I now use three soaps in my rotation (and a few samples thrown in).

Tabac
Speick stick (milled into an OS mug)
Cella (red tub)

If I were to add one more soap to my rotation (soap, not cream. I do have a tube of Proraso), what would you suggest?
It would need to be totally different than what I have.

Thanks.

I would go for something different.. like Cade or Mama Bears.

+1 for AOS...in my case I prefer the Lemon Scent, which is more of a Lemon Chiffon...In not AOS, then Trumper Almond...which is not really almond scented, but smells of the Almond Flower.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Maybe a French soap like a PdP or Institut Karite?? I have the PdP and love it, smells wonderful. Very clean and fresh. Looks like you've got Germany and Italy down haha, maybe give the French stuff a try

All good suggestions. I would second Mama Bear, any of the Floris line, Trumper's, QEDman, SRD Bulgarian Rose was fantastic (but SRD stopped selling it), Mitchell's Wool Fat

Vintage - Williams

Modern - D.R. Harris Marlborough

Consider Provence Sante in either scent.

AoS Sandalwood or my absolute favorite Queen Charlotte Soaps, my favorite scent is Celestial Woods. QCS>AoS IMHO

Arlington

Pre de Provence

AOS Sandalwood
DR Harris Arlington
Institute Karite
MWF

These would be my suggestions.

If price is not a factor, Martin de Candre. It's the best soap i've ever used.

Mid-range, Harris Arlington/Marlborough. I rate these just a notch below MdC.

Inexpensive, Mama Bear. I have a couple scents, great soaps.

Good luck,

Mitchell's woolfat: subtle [but very pleasing] scent, great skincare.

DR Harris Arlington: Fantastic scent (citrus and dark fern), fantastic performance.

Trumper's Rose: A scent that is to die for!!! Performance is great (it's the ONLY non-tallow soap I use and love!)

+1 to the above. And those others for me would include Floris No.89 and Trumper's Rose.

Thanks for all the replies. A lot of choices there.

What about a Bay Rum soap? Any suggestions?

You I just picked up the Ogallala Bay Rum and Sandalwood stick from WCS with the matching aftershave, for under $15 total it is a sweet deal. Soap works very well, scent is very nice and the aftershave has no burn at all. All in all, a great option for a bay rum soap.

How does MWF compare to what I'm using now?

Using....

Tabac
Speick
Cella
