Slickest Shaving Soap (or Cream)?

[Kennyg2019]

What's the slickest shaving soap (or shaving cream) that you have used?
I'm not interested in scent, price, history, packaging, country of origin, etc., etc.
I'm only interested in the smoothest possible shave.
Thanks!

You can also check this thread, as it also pertains to the aftershave feel of good soaps:

Tabac and Palmolive Stick have to be two of the slickest that I've used.

Ariana and Evans Kaizen
DG Milksteak
Captains Choice CREAM
Stirling
Tabac/The Fat are pretty slick as well

I've tried over 50 different shaving soaps, and I'd say aside from a few stinkers the majority can produce an incredibly slick lather, but I've had many lathers that weren't as slick as they could have been, but why was that?

I wasn't hydrating them as much as they needed to be.

I've found the lathers which look superb, thick and fluffy can sometimes stick to the blade, and clog during the shave, but the ones which were hydrated to the point where the lather will almost fall off my face would perform vastly better than the dryer ones.

But, my benchmark shaving soap for slickness is Arko.

For me, Mike’s Natural is the slickest soap I’ve ever used. Others, like Tabac and MDC are comparable, but Mike’s shows noticeably elevated initial and residual slickness levels. IMHO.

MDC is probably the slickest i have seen.

no fats that slow the blade down.

The Stirling mutton tallow soaps, the Wholly Kaw donkey milk soaps, Tabac, and Catie’s Bubbles are contenders.

Mike's Natural Soaps and MWF

 

[Kennyg2019]

Just ordered Stirling and MWF!
Thank you all!

Mike's Naturals - top spot

A&E Kaizen, Barrister Reserve, Stirling mutton base, Body Shop Maca Root cream are all damn slick, too.

Hydration is more important than base, I'd wager. Any soap that can take in a lot of water will be slick. A well hydrated moderate soap will out lubricate a moderately hydrated top of the line artisan.

Castle Forbes

Squadron Soap.

Santa Maria Novella is the slickest that I’ve tried by a fair margin.

I’ve tried the following which are great in their own ways but SMN is hands down the slickest.

Tabac
Mikes
A&E
Zingari Man
PdP
MdC
ADP
Speick
SV
Castle Forbes
Baume
MWF
Nancy Boy
Barrister and Mann
Haslinger
Jack Black
C&S
DR Harris
T&H
Nuavia
Wholly Kaw

YMMV

Cremo Creme is amazingly slick stuff. It needs a ton of water, but if you give it enough, it's hard to beat it for slickness.
