    Default Top 3 soaps

    I saw this for brushes awhile back and since I am just getting started with shaving soaps (1st shave with QED stick today and I love it) I was wondering what are your top 3 favorite soaps? I want to know brand and scent. Is there one soap out there that you clearly like better?

    This list may change soon as Mama Bear is sending me some new scents

    Honeybee. Bay Rum. Fantastic soap, and I love the mild warm spicy comfortable scent of her Bay Rum.

    QED. You have to try the Sandlewood. Also love the Pine & Cedar, but can burn slightly if your skin is sensitive to the oils in it.

    AoS Lavender
    Trimper Violet

    Those are the only two I can deal with so far!

    Arko Shave Stick - only one scent
    QED - P/TT/P (but they're all great )
    Olivia - King Kong
    Crema Cella Sapone - only one scent
    Mama Bear - Rosemary Mint
    AOS - sandalwood

    Kent
    Floris
    T&H

    In that order.

    For me, top shelf soaps are better than "cheap" soaps.

    When it comes to creams though, I find a lot of "cheap" creams to be just as good as expensive ones. Except for Floris creams.

    Chris,

    Will was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I have not seen any updates as to his condition or prognosis, but at the time it was announced, it appeared that his time was short. God bless he and his family.

    Not at this time. But if it helps, Will G was a customer of Honeybee- Spa before making his own soaps. I assume he was inspired by the Honeybee Shea Butter shaving soap in the creation of his own. Although I never tried the Will G soap, I bet it was a very good soap.

    My vote for the best soaps available would be:

    Honeybee-Spa Shae Butter shaving soap in any fragrance.
