Yes I have them both.
I really ordered the 1st for 2 reasons. One GD makes AWESOME soaps and 2nd the picture on the soap.
Then when all the controversy about the picture being stolen and also the soap not settling,was very happy to get a 2nd tub and yes love that picture. WIN WIN!! But now I have too much soap ha ha.
Tallow & Steel container graphics always look like a lot of time was spent on the design. I love GD soaps, but wish their graphics were better. Nobel Otter's are also clean and sophisticated. I'm really digging the latest graphic from The Club/A&E. Part of what I purchase is determined by the graphics. With soaps being so close in performance, enjoying the look of the container can decide whether I purchase or not.
The creativity displayed on some soap containers and some wine labels is pretty amazing.
Noble Otter and the Barrister & Mann animal/topo maps are my favorite labels.
Another vote for Phoenix and Beau Spitfire for simplicity. Albion, Trafalgar and Imperial Rum for complexity.
I like it simple, not gimmicky either. Grooming Dept. soaps are an example of what I like, in particular, the really simple ones...…example
Not that I'm biased at all (infectious disease researcher)...but that's awesome.
Since I didn't see it mentioned I like some of the artwork that Stirling has come up for a few of their labels. Ozark Mountain is nicely done in my opinion.
Also give a shout out to Lather Bros for some neat label designs.

I know it doesn't affect the shave but I love a good package with good graphics.
What's your favorite?
So far for me on the ones I own is Sir Hare.
(note: I also love that it's a larger container than need for the quantity... My favorite soap to load from)
I bought it for the Rabbit. I don't like the scent...too strong and overpowering...but i may keep it anyway just for the logo.
New B&M soap is unique.

I can't handle strong scents so I have some Stirling unscented...I load the brush with it and then load a little of the Sir Hare
I do this with a lot of my scented soaps
I never knew this even existed. I'm kind of a brand loyalist so I don't venture away from what I like much. I was so tickled that I ordered two just to add to my (and a friends) memorabilia. Thanks!
I second that. There's some simple elegance to the imagery.
Second favorite label is MITA... so relaxed

I love those too...wish they did ALL their soaps like that.
I think my faves are their Barbershop, Mountain Man, and Ben Franklin.

I love the Take Out version
Love that one! So many of the Stirling labels are well done. I really like Stirling products a lot. IMO, their soaps are great performers for the price point, and their scents are the perfect strength. I haven't tried them all yet by any means, but so far I've only come across one that I haven't liked (Benjamin Franklin). "Almost Heaven" borders on being feminine, but it's still one of my favorite scents in their line.I second that. There's some simple elegance to the imagery.

Well........
Grooming Dept has some cool ones.
