What are five soap brands (QED, Penhaligon's, D.R. Harris, Mitchell's Wool Fat, etc.) that you will never be found without?

Great idea for a thread. My five, in no particular order: Gold-Dachs, Penhaligon's, GFT, Mama Bear, Irisch Moos.

 

[Maduro]

Gentleman's Quarter (Bay Rum and Orange and Desert Ironwood), Proraso, Cella and Mitchell's Woolfat, they cover all of the seasons quite adequately.

 

[Leche]

So far Tabac, Col Conk Almond, and Speick. Working on the other two.

 

[whitebar]

Penhaligon's, D.R. Harris, Vintage Blades/T&H Luxury, Tabac, Trumper

 

[MrGuy]

No particular order...

Tabac, C&S (#88), Shulton (Old Spice SS), Arko (keep your naysaying to your selves), Mama Bear

 

[Leche]

Arko (keep your naysaying to your selves)

I have some Arko coming, I hope I like it as much as the others.

• Gold Dachs
• Valobra SS
• MWF
• Hans Baier
• Arron Aromatics

I'm thinking Irisch Moos and a Palmolive stick would fill the last two slots, but superlather is out of IM for the time being.

I have some Arko coming, I hope I like it as much as the others.

If you end up in the "smells like urinal cake" camp let me know, I'll give the Arko a new home. I guess I need to start finding some more classy bathrooms if this is what guys are smelling in their public urinals!

 

[Corey]

MWF and Arko have been excellent to me. I like the Arko smell. It smells like soap, which isn't a bad thing to me at all. Arko inspired me to turn my MWF into a shave stick.

 

[Bertilak]

1. Tabac
2. MWF
3. Cella

Preference order mutates!

Don't need two more, but when these get closer to being used up I will try one or two of the others mentioned in this thread.
