Best 2020 soaps? (lather wise)

[SterFry]

It's "just OK" for me.

Someone posted a video clip of the B+M Guy with West Coast Shaving recently,
talking about how to best lather-up the Reserve.

The B+M guy talks about high vs low structure lathers.
(B+M = Low, MdC = High)

I think I'm finding I like "high structure" best.

I much prefer low structure myself

Then try some Southern Witchcrafts. You may appreciate it.

Recommend me a scent to order. Or two.

Toasted Oatmeal. Dragonsblood soap and aftershave tonic. Tabacavegetal. also is great in the Premium line.The two aftershave tonics are the best I have ever used .The collaboration with Ethos is great too.

A&E The Undersea is off the charts. Phenomenal.

Lather, scent, performance, glide, residual slickness, post-shave feel, you name it.

A&E Kaizen is equally great performer, but I prefer the scent of The Undersea.

 

[Barbarian80]

Can you describe undersea?

 

[DaveHStone]

Can you describe undersea?

@Barbarian80, not sure what do you mean by "describe" it. Describe what exactly?

What would you like to know specifically? Maybe have a look at A&E website for specs...?

Ethos (owned 3 sets) I found lacking and highly overrated in my use.

 

[DaveHStone]

Is the tub transparent?

Yes, the tub is transparent.

Does it matter...?

Anything from CBL Soaps. All three of thier bases are awesome, and thier scent options are very well done.

I concur, I just recently started using CBL Soaps and love them. They perform well and the scents are right on as advertised, great product!!

 

[bmw45mo]

Of course Stirling, along with Crown & Crane ( I don't see many reviews on them at all) and Southern Witchcrafts.

I concur with Crowne & Crane. I’ve made several purchases from them and find their products and customer service top notch. The soap is easy to lather and works will with either DE or straight razor. I love scents of Tobacco Leaf & Amber and Thurigian Forest. The balms are spot on too. It’s true that unfortunately they don’t seem to be talked about as much as others in wet shaving community.
