I have looked at a few places (gentlemen's quarter, mamma bear, and pirates cove) and it seems that all of them are glycerin based soaps. Does any one know of any american made Tallow based soaps? Open to larger companies, but would prefer smaller boutiques like the ones listed. Seems like all the tallow soaps are made in the UK.

Great - my work blocks tripod.com. I will check it out when I get home. Thanks for the link.
Soapbox's parents are working on one, but it's not yet available as a final product. You might want to PM soapbox however for info.
+1. I came here to post the same thing. Her stuff is great.
Our own Krissy is working on a tallow-based shaving soap formula. Trials are on-going as we speak . . .er . . . write.
Any feedback on how you like it?
A relative of mine got me some of her Bourbon Vanilla Shave Soap/Cream (it's hard to decide what to call it) and I loved it. Slick and smooth with richness and cushion.
Is it similar to say like Proraso soap in consistancy?
American made. Tallow. Williams.

Yes indeed, and I think they're definitely on to something.
You. Went. There.
Like it or not, and I happen to like it, Dave has a point. Is it the best stuff out there? Definitely not, but it isn't that bad though YMMV a lot.
I used Williams exclusively for a very long time. Why? $0.99 at my local Marcs discount store and it worked better than canned foam. A lot better.
How does it smell? It sounds great!
Lemon pledge-I tried a puck and ended up using it as a shower soap.
Hmmm, my mistake, I thought you were asking about William's. The other sounds like it would smell quite nice.
Cannabis scented shaving soap
Do you get the munchies after shaving with it?
It goes well with my Doritos ASB.
Lemon Pledge would be a step up from my impression of Williams: I think it smells like citronella, a chemical smell that I find to be repulsive. ICK!
I super-lathered it with Kiss My Face Unscented for about 10 shaves, and then said "why bother", and tossed the rest of the puck into the garbage.
It smells how it sounds: sweet, creamy, strong Bourbon Vanilla.
