I am a huge fan of the recent artisan soap explosion in the US. I don't want to count how many different types of soaps I have and I'm not joing the 3017 club because the truth is the year 3017 isn't long enough for me to plow through them all. The last few weeks I've been experimenting with different razor / blade combo's. To avoid really making a mess of my face I have been sticking with the 2 soaps I know will offer fantastic glide and protection every time. Mama Bear and Mikes. I'm not an expert on either, but it seems to me most if not all of Mama Bears use veggie based oil, and all of Mikes use tallow. I've always been of the belief tallow based soaps are better, but I sure get good shaves from MB's.
Anyone interested in sharing their thoughts or experiences with tallow vs. veggie oil based soaps?
