Recently returning to wet shaving, I bought a lot of soaps that people have recommended. Compared to many folks on the forum, I don't have that many. Only 10 to be exact. I came across Catie's Bubbles by watching a Youtube video on one persons top 10 soaps. I never heard of it so I thought I would give it a shot. Without a doubt, this is the best soap I've ever used, The scent, ease of lather, and slickness is second to none. I ended up buying 3 more jars. The jars have 8 (yes 8) ounces for...
Razorock Green Tea is marketed as being for sensitive skin which I have. I have tried a few other soaps and creams which have resulted in "red neck" and one even burned my face just lathering up before a blade ever touched my face.
Scent - It is a very light scent as you might expect from a sensitive skin formula but the scent is noticeable. My wife loves it! She said it smells "clean". In my experience, "clean" scents are usually somewhat citrusy or minty...
A tallow based shaving soap from the north coast. Easy to lather protective and slick. The sent is pretty good. It was reasonably priced and performed way above expectations.

Made in small quantities on Saltspring Island BC Canada. This is the only shaving soap they make. It is glyceryne based with coconut, palm & olive oils.
The puck is 65grams.
It has a earthy/woody scent, that lasts for hours. The lather is plentiful but not as thick as a triple milled soap. I dont know if its the product or because its glycerinebased.
Small family company in Bar Harbor, Maine making small batches of shaving soaps in various "Manly scents". One of my favorites is called "Sailor Boy" which is a combination of lime and ginger.
Great soap for sensitive skin. Lots of ingredients that soothe and nourish skin with. Makes great lather and smells good.
Another great soap from Queen Charlotte

Summer is just around the corner and I am looking for different soaps to rotate for the coming months but I wanted to balance out my hyper mentholated soaps (Yeti, Glaical/Vostok, MB Cilantro Lime Ice) with a cool but not face freezing soap. Amanda of Tiki Soaps whipped up a Custom called Chilled Salsa which I really like but I was looking for something in orange or tangerine. Well it just so happened received notification from Amanda that she had a limited edition run called Citrus Mint...
This soap is easy to lather and has an amazing scent. Has a smooth glide and seems to protect quite well. One of my top soaps.
Tiki Bar Soaps
Grand Cru- a grape wine scent. The soap is easy to lather and is amazingly dense at that. This is by far my favorite shaving soap. I rate it above Mama Bear's and HTGAM. Quality soap.
An energetic blend of citrus and herbs. A scent of grapefruit, sage, thyme, rosemary, tea tree, and vetiver.
Kell's soaps are specifically designed to relieve shaving irritation and provide a clean, easy shave. Energy is a blend of citrus, grapefruit, lemon, and lime, with hints of fresh cucumber, jasmine, and a touch of pineapple, blackberry, and champagne. It's a strong invigorating scent that doesn't fade through the shave.
The thirsty lather whipped up easily into a voluminous amount on my brush. The lather was thick and with the right amount of water was slick with great lubrication. The...
Baker Street is a blend of bergamot, juniper, jasmine, and patchouli. A truly British scent. It could be stronger for my tastes as fades a bit toward end of the shave.
It gives a great shave. My brush whipped up a ton of thick, creamy foam in seconds.
Sapone da Barba is a rebatched soft soap with a floral scent and excellent solubility. It's made with coconut oil and salts of fatty acids, water, glycerin, and botanical essential oils.
