So I have a pretty good variety of soaps and creams, and rotate them all as much as possible for variety and mood of the day. But whenever I go back to my AOS Sandlewood soap, the shave, feel, scent and protection is just superior for me. I definitely get my closest shave with it. Then the other day I remembered my Conk's Almond that I rarely use for some reason, and realized again that it a close 2nd. I think if I had to live with 2 soaps now, I'd be happy with these. Anyone else feel the same?

Yes I use TOBS lavender and Sandalwood and DR Harris arlington. The three perform great for me , but my favorite is TOBS sandalwood , because of the scent - I love it !!
AOS Sandlewood is a great soap, but if I could only have two it would be Tabac for the cold months and GB Chilled for the warm months.
I agree that Conk soaps are good for any rotation...in your case...your current #2. I used to have Conk Bay Rum as my #2 but it began to dry my face out post shave and I had to break out the ASB to get the moisture back in my skin. I guess I am a tallow guy because my face just glows after a shave with Williams or Cella. Cella is now the go to with Williams as #2. I also recently acquired some ARKO and we will see if it bumps Williams out when I try it.
Gentlemens Best signature line and "chilled", use very little else
i love Muhles sandalwood soap.
Ian's Spiced lime, Artifact soaps Bay Rum, and Wild Heaven Farm Mint Goat milk shave soap...
I love the GB Signature soap! Unfortunately, it's proven to be the only soap I own that my skin doesn't like. Makes me all red & itchy.
My favorites are these vintages:
Hersheys Cocoa Butter (Vintage, unknown maker, Cocoa Butter scent)
English Leather (Vintage Avon w/ scent)
Williams Barber/Tonsorial/old Mug/Stick (Vintages, No scent (sad face) )
If I absolutely had to live with one soap, I'd take a lifetime supply of the Hersheys. It's my "Special occasion" soap.
