That is a list of goodies...Where can they be found?
I wrote Taylor of Old Bond Street and they confirmed their shaving line does NOT use any animal products. The stearic acid is vegetable based. I would assume most companies outside of the US would use a vegetable base stearic acid, but it doesn't hurt to ask!
Why no lanolin? I understand not wanting hooves in your soap, but wool grease?
I believe Mama Bear's meets your needs.
What about Trumper's or Real Shaving Co? I'm pretty sure they do not contain animal by products. Also - Art of Shaving - Shaving cream (soaps contain tallow).
Castle Forbes is confirmed no animal products!
Probably all vegan, just have to confirm if the stearic acid is animal or vegetable base. If it's made outside the US it's most likely vegetable based.
I appreciate you folks keeping this thread updated. I have read repeated reference to TOBS, for example, but never knew it was animal-free.
In general, I have come to assume a soap or cream has animal products unless I see here that it doesn't.
I'm currently using Kell's Original hemp with ultra aloe, Arabian Spice scent. Pretty good, although with some brushes the lather can tend to ball up a little bit.

Some vegans are completely against any production use of animals. I know a couple of them and it's just a personal choice - and, when thought about a while, an understandable one. They won't use wool, leather etc. and some even prefer linen over cotton. It's all about having an as low as possible ethical and ecological impact.
I think that when the shop I work in shall add the shaving products (1-2 weeks, probably) in our selection, we shall carry at least 1-2 completely vegan soaps and cremes.
Not to mention amazing products and customer service, as others have said!Mama Bear's is 100% natural and vegan...
Mama bear is on my list of products to try.
I am one of those that are no lanolin/no tallow. I even avoid food with vitamin d3, which is derived from sheep's wool?
That being said..............I love me some Mama Bear

Indeed, as discussed Ayodh, all these soaps manufactured them 100% vegetable. Palm stearin use instead of stearic acid and glycerine is of vegetable origin.

A small resurrection.
When we say a product is "vegetarian" or "animal-free" do we also mean the company does not test on animals? Or are we referring simply to animal products in the formulation?
Also, for those reading the older posts: some companies formerly listed as cruelty-free now do test on animals. I know Tom's of Maine now does, as does Burt's Bees. It seems I had heard a couple others listed may now do so as well but I could be mistaken and won't know until i look it up.

Ingredients from my Parker sandalwood & shea soap:
Aqua, Cocos Nucifera Oil (Coconut), Glycerin, Sorbitol, SLES [I assume sodium laureth sulfate], Propylene Glycol, Cacao (Cocoa) Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Glycerin, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Oil, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Almond) Oil, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric).
They do not say if the glycerin has a vegetable source. I assume it does, but may try to contact them to find out, and will post here if I hear back.
The label also states "not tested on animals." Now, as we know, this could mean many things, like "we didn't test the finished product on animals, it's true, but we totally tested every ingredient!" Then again, it's difficult to truthfully state that none of the ingredients were tested on animals, because inevitably every ingredient under the sun probably has been at one point in history. So take from it what you will.
I may also try to contact makers of the other stuff I got recently-- Col. Conk, Derby, etc. I bought my soaps and creams from the "animal friendly" and 'vegan" sections at Shave Tools, and I love that they have that to make it easy, but since they have Mitchell's Wool Fat soap, which is neither animal friendly nor vegan as it contains tallow and lanolin, in those sections, I've been wondering if I really ought to take their word for it.
Unfortunately Googling has found me very little definitive, and shave stuff is uncommon enough that these companies don't appear on the lists put out by PETA and such.
Personally I have an interest in many of the "mainstream" brands carried by the shave shops, simply for the purpose of saving on shipping-- when I bought my initial n00b gear, I really wanted to order from one place and not pay a bunch of shipping. In future I may try some of the artisan soaps-- if I ever manage to run out of the stuff I first bought, I really want to try the Mama Bear soaps-- but usually I try to combine shipping whenever possible so prefer one-stop-shopping. So I'm going to try to research some of these brands further and I'll let you know what I find out.
