    Since you are talking about both soaps and creams, I voted for Britain based on MWF, D.R. Harris soaps, and Trumpers creams. Some of my personal favorites.

    If I was voting on just soap, I would most likely have to sway my alliance toward Italy.

    +1 ... Germany's absence from that list is glaring.

    This time of year, I like Spain/Portugal. For July/August, its Italy. From September through March, Germany.

    England since Harris is my #1 soap and Taylor Rose my #1 cream. No Germany for Tabac fans?

    My favorite soap is made locally seriously just a few miles down the road where I live. Maybe I'm biased, or just lucky?

    Though I love what the English do for scents, I love my Italian products above all else. I just think they offer the best all-around value. Most are reasonably priced, and are defined by ease of lathering, quality of lather, and overall performance (and though I'm more keen on the scents of English, the Italians do a great job here, too).

    BOTOC - GEM MicroMatic OC ... Gentle enough for a grizzly but made for a man!

    I picked the US for Mike's and Mystic Waters soap, Italy for the RazoRock line.

    It's a pretty close race, really, because it's not like D. R. Harris (UK), Arko (Turkey) and Cade (France) are far behind.
