I guess the most forgiving soap I've got would probably Stirling Unscented with Beeswax...that stuff just tends to explode off the puck no matter what I throw at it. IIRC La Toja is pretty forgiving, too, though my La Toja stick tends to live in my Dopp kit and I mostly use it when traveling, so it's been a while since I've used it. Also, MWF is coming to mind...stuff isn't the easiest, but the key isn't dialing in the right hydration, it's just loading for ever and ever. If you load it long enough, the water ratio is really quite secondary. (Though also something I'm not using much anymore, since I seem to have developed a lanolin sensitivity.)

All Stirling soaps easy super easy for me.
Tabac stick as well. Rub it on wet face and lather with wet brush. Done.

Any particular base? I favor their mutton base
Least finicky - Hendrix Classic (HC&C)
It loads onto the brush and lathers up more easily than any other soap I have.

My experience with Stirling as well. They like a bit of water but they're certainly not finicky.
I'm pretty sure that all Stirling's soaps are of the same tallow base, and each one differs only in scent.
They are all pretty magnificent soaps, and create a luxurious lather without needing to go crazy about
"dialing things in perfectly." Very tolerant to many differing amounts of water.
Yes indeed. And ..... I just recently noticed your new avatar photo. Very nice, Mr. Cary Grant !
Not quite all...Unscented with Beeswax uses a base without lanolin (for people like me with a lanolin sensitivity). They claim in the description that they intend(ed?) a whole line of beeswax soaps for lanolin-sensitive customers, but so far only the unscented has actually come out.

I've had pretty good success with Arko, Cella, Van der Hagen luxury soap, and Proraso. To be honest, I've never really struggled to make a lather with any soap I've tried (though I know I have hard water). I was even able to make a pretty good lather with TOBS sandalwood in the bowl.
This. And Palmolive stick, and Stirling.

Sir, that would be a wise choice! By the way, I wish Haslinger had a Lavender and Rose soap, too...
