Favorite NON-tallow soap?

[TheVez2]

I was reading the favorite tallow-based soap thread and have read some good ideas for my want list. Now I'm curious about your favorite and best performing non-tallow soaps.

I've only tried a couple, but I was PIFd a small sample of Martin de Candre and that stuff is heavenly. I wanted it to last longer so I melted it into some VDH. The scent is dilluted a little, but it still lathers like a super champ. The way it lathers you'd swear it has tallow in it. I love the stuff.

What else is out there that works well?

I've only had 1 shave to date with SCS, but I could have sworn that it had tallow in it!

Amazing stuff!

Thanks, had seen that before, was good to read it again. I just commented because you are always recommending and talking about the Italian soaps (for obvious reasons).
