Well, that's a very long story .. there are about as many opinions as , hem, faces .. I rotate through a bunch, from Mama Bear's to Tabac.
Since you are new I'd suggest picking up a glycerin soap from Mama Bear that sounds like an enjoyable scent to you, then find some Tabac for a tallow based soap.

Sorry, man.
There is no "best". As stated, the preferences range very widely. I expect you'll receive some very solid and helpful recommendation.
I'll suggest Mike's Natural or QCS. You choose the scent.
Good luck.

I was forced to start face lathering on the road when my travel scuttle broke. I continued my business trip for another two weeks. Mitchell's Wool Fat was the soap I was packing...and it was terrific. I got some advice from TOFLAC-U members, and I had a great time face lathering. I am practicing at home this week...loving Irisch Moos cream.
I'd recommend croaps (softer soaps) over hard soaps. I particularly like Strop Shoppe special editions, QCS, and Mystic Water. I have heard great things about Mike's Natural Soaps as well but I have not shaved with those yet as my samples have not arrived.
The reason I recommend croaps is that I find it easier to load the appropriate amount of soap for lathering. I know you can always load more but with face lathering I prefer to get it right before the first pass rather than having to tweak the lather later.

I've got a few soaps that only bowl lather well for me, but everything else face lathers fine. I particularly like Cella, Razorock,Arko, an Klar Kabinett
From what I have, Arko stick is my favorite to face shave with.
I would say Tabac would be the easiest or based on what I've read (because I haven't tried them... yet 
) shave sticks
) shave sticksspeick, arko, palmolive sticks. Sticks are definitely made for face lathering. With that said, I've lathered with proraso and col conk pucks just fine. I don't think there is anything that restricts you from using anything for face lathering.

any good soap really. I solely face lather and alternate between soaps and creams. Now I built my fan knot brush - TGN finest and now I'm enjoying my shave so much more. Any soap or cream that u like will do. I discovered fan knots are just better for me with face lathering . Decent backbone a must. Loft must be set rght if building your own. 22mm knot at 43-50mm loft is perfect.
You'll get pretty much the same range of answers as asking "Which soap is best?". As always, it varies from person to person. I use the same soaps whether I face or bowl lather: currently only MDC but I used to use DRH and AoS (prior to the recent reformulation) as well. I've had no problems with other soaps though -- just did not prefer them.
hahahahahahaha good point!!
i love arko.but i bought one "vitos",this product is made by "tallow" material, incredible lathering,but smell is weak.if you mix tabac smell with vitos soap,would be amazing...
