K2E is a great base. The 6 A&E soaps I purchased have caused skin irritation. There might be something in their fragrances that does not agree with my skin, as some of the individuals whom I gifted these soaps to have also reported similar issues, while others did not.
were any of these the St Barts?

Asking as I do not know. Believe TALLOW is animal fat. What do you do to avoid plumbing problems. Or is the TALLOW only small part of product
St Bart's wasn't one of them.
Yes, combined with potassium hydroxide and or sodium hydroxide and typically other oils to make soap. Hot water keeps the pipes clean.Asking as I do not know. Believe TALLOW is animal fat. What do you do to avoid plumbing problems. Or is the TALLOW only small part of product
Ha ha no, I make soap at home. It is a very simple process to make decent hand soap. Making a good shave soap is not easy. I have made numerous attempts at shave soap but so far it just ends up being hand soap or a crumbly unusable mess.
D.R. Harris and MWF are both outstanding.
All Areffa Soaps from Ukraine.
Some are plain cow fat, others badger and bear fat. Love 'em

Standing alone - Ethos for me.
Others I like but rate lower - GD Mallard base (non Kairos), House of Mammoth, Mike’s Natural, Wholly Kaw, B&M Omnibus, MdC, etc.
Best non Tallow - Ethos Tibu Sabuni
…and I believe Hendrix & Co has a vegan base, their soap is good and under the radar. I like it a lot.
I’ve pretty much sold off most of my other stuff.

I will look into whether a new (reformulated) Tabac puck makes its way into my den, next winter. I also like DR Harris Windsor, Arlington or Almond (as a homage to Cella).
For the warmer months, my rotation includes Mitchells Wool Fat and Haslinger Schafmilch, which I believe contains Sheep Milk and Lanolin - but the latest formulation contains no tallow.

Cyril Salter hard soap, which is the same formula as the current Harris soaps, but with a nicer scent (and I like Harris's scents).

My favorite tallow soaps for 2023 are Speick stick(old formula)mild spicy scent, Razorock XXX nice unique clean scent & a recent new addition Yaqi Musketeer Rapier( Aramis scent?) + all have excellent lather qualities.
