Absolute slickery

[KW Driver]

Mitchels Wool Fat (not the easiest to learn to lather)
Haslinger’s
Miike’s Naturals
I Coloniali (out of stock, no longer made)
Spieck

are what I keep in pucks and sticks at the house or for travel. They’re all slick when made right, and under $25.

others listed are too. Pricier ones work too.

So my Proraso Red won't last forever and I'd like y'all's opinions on a soap (or cream or stick). I'm looking for slick slick slick.

I don't care what it smells like.
I don't care if it's hard to lather.
I don't care if animals were molested as a result of its creation. It's all about blade glide. Please provide two answers...One disregarding price entirely and one at...say $25 bucks or less.

You might like Cella Extra Extra Bio (newer formula in green tub). Smells nice, easy to lather, no animals harmed. Cost is usually under $10 for a 150g tub.

If you want to spend more, you could try Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica. Vegetable-based, nice scent, lathers easily, no animals harmed. Cost is around $20-25 for a 150g hard puck that will last a long, long time.

Those are the exact three things I said I didn't care about, guy.

Pre shave soap of paa (cube or stick)
Pre shave soap of stirling will give you loads of slickness

Stirling, Arko, tabac, vergulde hand on top are allready slick but more as on top

Those are very slick soaps. If you can get the other things also, why not? Maybe you are indifferent, so consider them a bonus.

Razormaster toivo (pine tar soap)
Is very slick even thin.
Stinks up the place badly
Probably only safe for horse hooves
Not so cheap either

Tabac/Palmolive/Stirling

Out of those residual slickness is best with Tabac

Ask a simple question and you’ll get a thousand different simple answers.

Palmolive stick MWF mix, cheap and very slick. Lathers easy.

Don't think he was doing it to be malicious in any way, so don't think this was necessary. Everyone is just trying to help you out with a question that a simple search would have pulled thread after thread already discussing.

I didn't intend for that to sound snarky; Thank you for your input.

Arko, Tabac, Stirling

 

[BigJ]

Tabac (yep another vote)
Haslinger (especially if you can find some of their ‘tallow’)
Cella (prefer the brick)
MWF

All provide great slickness for me!!

#1 SV 4.3
#2 Wickham 1912
#3 PdP/Cella Bio/CRS in no particular order.

SV stands alone on my shelf.

If you want to keep it old school, Tabac all day. if you're looking at artisan, well you can really pick any of the oft mentioned ones as they are all great. IMO Stirling or Mikes are kings of slickness though.

I forgot to mention the King of Slick. Its lacking in all other areas but, if you value absolute slickness over all other aspects, its unbeatable.

Brush: None.
Soap....

Its also important to only use the Botanical forumations. They are different than regular Dawn, FWIW lol.
