Your PM came through just fine, I'm about to respond.
great list... I'm surprised I didn't see it before, and surprised there are so many soaps I haven't considered yet!
Based on my experience of Pre de Provence and Institut Karite, I like French shave soaps. So much so, that I have some L'Occitane Cade and Provence Sante on their way to me right now... next on my French soap hit list is Joris...

Hi
Can someone provide me a link for a online shop where I can buy Joris?
Thank you
I am in Paris for Business and I did not take any Shaving soap/cream with me on purpose because I thought I could easily find one here. Though, the one i found was a very cheap one (1.60 euro) and called Monsavon. Surprisingly it seems to be a good soap/cream (is something in between). I will give it a second try once I will be back in Amsterdam and I will let you know.
Best,
Tom

I'm betting they have it. Their website isn't up & running yet but if you call them they'll ship it out post-haste (provided, of course, that it's in stock). They won't even ask you for CC info -- they'll send a bill along w/the product.
Good luck!
EDIT: Whoops ... just noticed you're in Copenhagen. Try this link.
Good luck!
Well let me tell you something. You may try the Provence Sante and decide as I did that it will take a SPECIAL soap to match or out perform it. It really is that good. More to the point is the fact it completely DESTROYS the myth that veg based or shea butter soaps cannot lather like the best of the old time tallow soaps. Bollocks. It provides one of the richest, most comforting shave lathers around. I am not alone in that opinion. Okay, the caveat. You may buy it and hate it but I am betting otherwise.
Regards, Todd
Hi Todd - I shaved with Provence Sante this morning. I have the same experience with the lather as you. It might be one of the best lathering veg based soap I've tried. Really impressive. Shaved great and was moisturizing. The scent is fresh and clean smelling with a hint of florals. Not the most masculine scent, but nice enough... at any rate, it doesn't linger long at all. For the money it's an excellent buy.
