Help me choose a soap

Fairly new to DE shaving and I'm about to finish off my first batch of shaving soap. I currently have Razorock XXX. I find the scent quite nice and it seems to lather up very well.

Now it's time to try a new soap and would like to hear what you guys recommend as your favorite current shaving soap. I'm looking for something that I can lather up directly in the container as I don't have a shaving bowl.

So what's your current go to soap?

Mike's Rose & Cedarwood?

Stirlings Executive Man or Jeeves of Hudson Street Velvet Jacket

Haslinger. CRSW. Barrister and Mann. Stirling. Mike's.

I can't choose just one favorite because I love all of the soaps that I have tried. My favorite scents are:

Through the Fire Fine Craft: Ember and Steel
Mama Bear: Northwoods and Mysore Sandalwood
Dr. Jon's: 1803
Charcoal Goods
Beaver Woodwright: Davey Jones
Dapper Dragon: Black Dragon

Right now, I'm using most of these in a regular rotation. They all have their perks and mixing it up keeps the shaves entertaining and gives me something to which I can look forward each day. Beware the world of shaving soap because it's quite the slippery soap. I have about a million other scents from a million different artisans that are still on my wishlist and I won't be satisfied until I have them all.

Barrister and Mann. Take your pick. I'd start with Seville or Cheshire, since neither are seasonal. But Adagio, a summer seasonal, is a wonderful soap. You can get samples of B&M from Maggard Razors.

Tabac.

BlueBell Peppermint is a really good soap.

I've got two Soap Commander soaps, Love and Inspiration, rose and Japanese grapefruit respectively. I love them both.

Arko from Turkey


Derby, also from Turkey

Or for something unusual
De Vergulde Hand from Holland

I just ordered Cologne Russe from B&M so can let you know when it gets here but I've heard great things for a long time about them.

My favorite currently is razorock for ease of use. Pick a new scent but XXX is one of their best.
I also love the captain's choice bay rum scent and have the original razorock edition. Not sure how the new stuff is but his aftershave are great (cat o'nine tails is my favorite) and some one else may have tried the new soap to verify that.

Anything Stirling. Just pick a scent that appeals to you.

Saponificio Varissino- any one will do. Cosmo is exceptional.

I am spending 2016 with Haslinger's lineup. Each option I have tried is a top performer (schafmilch, aloe vera, sage, sandalwood and coconut).

Saponificio Varesino. 70th Anniversary comes in a nice container. They also make Asylum Colonia.

TOBS Sandalwood or anything Stirling.
