Best Creed Green Irish Tweed Inspired Soap?

I've tried QCS and perhaps another, but the closest soap to GIT cologne is, well, GIT soap!
Amazing scent, fully acceptable (albeit not stellar) performance.
Go for it, we only live once!

I have WSP Gaelic Tweed and Lisa's Natural Green Irish Tweed. I love the WSP scent - one of my favorites. Lisa's scent is OK, but I like WSP better. I have never tried Creed GIT, so I do not know how close the soaps are to the original scent.
From a performance standpoint, I give Lisa's new formula as slight edge over WSP.

I had no idea their shaving soaps were so expensive! ($125 for 3.8oz)
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But for that price, I'd rather save a little more and get myself a Timeless razor

Aw, c’mon on, Sir Symptomatic!
That’s less than cost of track lap time for your Formula race car!
Or, PM me and I’ll happily mail you sliver with compliments!

Haha true, thank you!
You convinced me. I love Wickham Soap Co 1912 soaps and West Coast Shaving just got some of Wickham's 1912 Shamrock Tweed in. I pulled the trigger on the soap and the aftershave balm. Very reasonable prices too.
SV Felce is a similar scent to my nose.
For those who have tried WSP Gaelic Tweed and Mystic Waters Irish Tweed, are you able to detect a difference in the scent?
It's funny that this thread was resurrected today. I am embarking on a task to review every Green Irish Tweed scent I can get my hands on. I'll be using nothing but GIT scented soaps the entire month of March, culminating in a best of video on my YouTube channel when I'm finished.

@gwsmallwood Wow. You’re not messing around. I look forward to reading your reviews!
. I look forward to reading your reviews!I really never fell down the software Rabbit Hole. I had only bought a handful of soaps over the years, and everything else came to me via PIF or gift. I started the YouTube channel in December and my wife started enabling me a bit. Since I've always loved this scent profile, and I've never seen a comprehensive "I've tried them all" type of review, I decided it would be a good investment of my time and money.@gwsmallwood Wow. You’re not messing around
Wet the face quiet man is on my list to try........I really have fallen in love with their sport of kings soap, I've been burning through the container, it's a great soap and it's affordable, I can only imagine that their quiet man probably smells banging.
I'll let you know what I think of the scent soon. I'm still waiting on a couple of packages, but if they don't come tomorrow, I'll probably go ahead and do the mail call video without them.
@gwsmallwood I take it you like GIT...
Interested in hearing your thoughts. Stirling is one of the only ones of those I've tried and it's fine, certainly a good value, as are the other SDM products

I didn't know Saint Meinrad's made soap!
I did some Googling (not in a naughty way, I swear) and it showed up. No idea how it smells or performs yet, but it does seem to belong in The Shaving Disciple's den, doesn't it.
To answer my own question, there are differences. Both are great scents and are unmistakably Irish Tweed. When lathered they do open up a little differently.
Looking forward to gwsmallwood's comparison of all those GIT-inspired shave soaps. What a great idea!
