    Default Suggestions for the next soap purchase?

    I just finished a puck of Provence Sante Verlaine. I am working through other soaps (Arko of course, QCS Green Irish Tweed Type, Pirate's Cove Bay Rum and Lime). I liked the Provence Sante really well and have an order out for the Green Tea. Any tallow based soap suggestions would be great as well as other vegetable based soaps.

    MdC, PdP (just got, and it's nice). RR King Louis and 888 are both fantastic.

    MWF is a must try as well, D.R. Harris Arlington is very nice and CF are great but considered creams, but act more like soaps.

    Pick up a puck of Mike's. Tallow and lanolin goodness; and if you can't find a scent you like, you're not trying!

    Try some Mystic Water shaving soap. Fantastic scents, effortless lathers, and excellent skin conditioning properties.

    I've found Institut Karite to be slicker and more protective than Provence Sante verlaine.

    In addition to IK, try RazoRock.
    Uh-oh.

    Another vote for mikes natural soap or mystic water soaps. Both are great and have many scents to choose from.

    There are so many great soaps out there -- I've got two full bathroom drawers to prove it. I was seriously thinking today about how lucky I am to be able to experiment w/so many shaving products. Life is good. Great recommendations here already -- Klar Seifen, MdC, Dr. Dittmar are all favorites. Today I tried JabonMan for the first time and loved it. Mike's is a good tallow recommendation. Cella is a classic for a reason. Can't go wrong with Razorock stuff, too, and it's priced reasonably. I love the PS Green Tea, by the way.
