    Default What are your favorite shaving soaps?

    Greetings,

    Lately I've been getting into hard soaps from various vendors. Here are my favorite soaps to date:

    L'Occitane CADE
    Art of Shaving Sandalwood
    St. Charles Shave
    What are yours?
    Take care,
    Rik

    Question

    Hmmm. Let's see now. Not necessarily in the order of preference:
    Ten or Eleven or is that Twelve QEDs Scents
    Six Trumpers Scents
    Three, no Four Crabtree and Evelyns Scents
    Two Floris Scents
    Two D R Harris Scent
    Two Taylors Scents
    One Truefitt & Hill Scent
    One Roger et Gallet Scent
    One Provence Sante Scent
    One Pre de Provence Scent
    One Pere et Fils Scent
    One Kent Scent
    One Country Gentleman (Love that Goat's Milk) Scent
    One Proraso Eucalyptus! is there any other Scent
    One Williams (vetiver like) Scent


    Some of the Less than Favorite in the Shave Shack
    Lightfoots Pine
    Woods of Windsor
    Colgates

    Forgive me all of you who I have forgotten in the back of the shave shack! In the words of the great old lathermeister, "I never met a hard soap I didn't like!"
    Best regards,
    Ron

    Default Correction

    Hmm. I thought we were only talking about hard-milled soaps. If we include glycerin soaps, of course QED would be high on my list.

    That was the intention of my question. I should have been more specific.
