Favourite Mama Bear Soap?

I only have three, and they are all essential oil fragrances.

Lime
Orange, Orange
Bergamot

They're incredible.

How mentholly is the Rosemary Mint? I am not overly keen on too much menthol if i am honest. For example, the Proraso sensitive (white tub) is fine, but i don't like the original proraso! I know, i am probably in a minority of 1 .

For this reason i probably won't go for any of the MB 'Ice' soaps, but is the Rosemary Mint similar, or a more toned down menthol?

Cheers chaps.

Its got a nice kick to it but I mostly use the Proraso White tub as well and don't find it overbearing.

I have 5 and my favourite is Tahitian Flowers but then again I'm a lady so that's probably not much use for you.
If it does help you then I would say that Tahitian Flowers and Pearberry are probably two of her more feminine scents.

On my high rated list are:

Chypres Rose
Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Hinoki Wood
Winter Grapefruit
Rosemary Mint

I recently got Caribbean and Mountain Waters to try something completely different.

I’ve been meaning to try Mama Bear’s soaps for a while now but couldn’t decide where to start with all the scents. A funny thing happened on our summer vacation that solved this problem. While visiting my family in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula we drove through Florence WI, and right there on the bend of the highway is a big Mama Bear’s sign, and lots of little bear statues in front of one of the buildings. I thought “no way, that can’t be…”, we turned around and went back and I couldn’t believe it, they make the soaps in a town of around 2k people way up north and less than 20 miles from where I grew up, and they have a store set up .

I spent a long time in the “shave den”, it’s amazing how many different soaps they have stacked up there. I came home with Hydrogen, Dublin Tweed, and Spellbound Woods. My son who is just starting to shave picked up Dublin Tweed as his first soap. I now have a regular stop on our yearly journey north to visit family.

Early last week I ordered some MB shaving soap... Ye Olde Barbershoppe after seeing all the positives posted about it on B&B. It arrived in the mail Saturday and I tried it Sunday morning.

Man, was I impressed! Very nice lather. Picked up my lady friend for church and when she kissed my cheek, she paused and said, "You smell nice. What is that?" I told her and she told me to keep using it!

Anyway, I'm gonna order some more tomorrow.... Lime Ice and Masculine Musk. And maybe another in a shave stick... Rosemary Mint perhaps.

Nice stuff Mama Bear Sue!!!

That's an awesome find, for sure! Welcome to B&B, btw.

I have never tried MB, what would you say Ye Olde Barbershoppe smells like?

The main thing it reminds me of is baby powder or talc. It's nice.

If you like Shulton Old Spice, her Aged Spice is a winner too.

 

[DizzyArnaz]

My favourite is still the first one I tried...Sweet Vetiver. Green Irish Tweed and Spellbound Woods are close seconds. Other than those 3 and Rosemary Mint, I haven't tried any of the other MB soaps.

 

[RichGem]

Well, my favorite isn't available any more as it was a special run: "Czar's Choice" (original) with a lime-cilantro scent.

 

[BlackAngus]

I really, really like the Fresh Cut Grass. Really nice for the summer!

Wow...
To have this as a first post!

Welcome!

 

[bmc1979]

Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Lime Ice
Awakenings

Those are my favorites but really you can't go wrong with any of her soaps.

 

[guitarslinger]

I've probably had ten different MB scents.

My favorites

Autumn Afternoon
Lime Ice
Bergamot
Oak Leaves and Acorns

 

[kingfisher]

I've only tried two:

Spicey Lime
Frankincense and Myrhh


Even though I've only tried two, I can't decide which one I like better. They're both great soaps. I guess I lean toward the Lime, but I love all things lime. This morning's shave was with the F&M. It's great stuff.

I just got MB Almond recently and am a big fan

 

[Greggy_D]

If you like Shulton Old Spice, her Aged Spice is a winner too.

Personally, I do not think it smells anything like Shulton OS. Smells too soapy to me.

 

[franstjohn]

I generally favor the cologne scents (British Leather, Aged Spice and Dublin Tweed). They seem to stay with you longer after the shave. If I don't want a lingering scent, I use Earl Grey which has a very mild scent.

All of the Mama Bear soaps are very good and lather well. What you pick or like is a very personal choice and depends on what you arelooking for interms of scent.
