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.
