    Default Five soap brands you will never be found without

    What are five soap brands (QED, Penhaligon's, D.R. Harris, Mitchell's Wool Fat, etc.) that you will never be found without?

    Great idea for a thread. My five, in no particular order: Gold-Dachs, Penhaligon's, GFT, Mama Bear, Irisch Moos.

    Gentleman's Quarter (Bay Rum and Orange and Desert Ironwood), Proraso, Cella and Mitchell's Woolfat, they cover all of the seasons quite adequately.

    I'm thinking Irisch Moos and a Palmolive stick would fill the last two slots, but superlather is out of IM for the time being.

    If you end up in the "smells like urinal cake" camp let me know, I'll give the Arko a new home. I guess I need to start finding some more classy bathrooms if this is what guys are smelling in their public urinals!

    MWF and Arko have been excellent to me. I like the Arko smell. It smells like soap, which isn't a bad thing to me at all. Arko inspired me to turn my MWF into a shave stick.

    Preference order mutates!

    Don't need two more, but when these get closer to being used up I will try one or two of the others mentioned in this thread.
