Help me pick a few Mama Bear soaps!

[boogieman_]

I am going to make my first purchase from Mama Bear and would like some help picking out what soap to buy. I have 6 that sound really good but am looking to pare that back to 2 or 3 soaps at this time. I am going to include an "other" in case anyone has a must try soap.

Ye Olde Barbershop is a lovely scent and lathers like a rabid badger.
Lime Ice -- very nice for a cooler mentholated shave; lathers well.

I would avoid Dragon's Blood for two reasons: 1] You'll never be able to describe its scent, and 2] IMHO, its scent is kind of like if someone added too much of something-it is a heavy scent although not completely unpleasant.

Glycerin soaps are the best for my skin and Mama Bear is my favorite.

My favorite:
Ye Olde Barbershop (I think is a must)
Spicy Lime (my wife likes this one a lot)
Creme Brulea (I did not think I would like this, but it is delicious)
Lime or Mandarin Ice
Brut

The scent was too strong for me, but my wife loved when I used the Frankenscense and Myrre.

Some that I would like to try
Almond
Florida Water
Oatmeal Stout
Lime and Bergmont



The basil lime sounds really good

I won't formally vote in the poll, since I've only tried one of those, the lime cilantro, and while I like it, I prefer the Bay Rum and the Lime Ice. Lime Ice is probably my all around favourite, as I love the cooling feeling of the menthol. From my experience, you won't go wrong with any of her products, particularly if you like glycerine based soaps.

EDIT - OK, I did vote after all. I like the Lime Ice too much not to put in a vote for "other".

I've never tried her soaps so I don't fell I should vote. How about you try the Fall Leaves and let us know your thoughts...

So far I have been sticking with drug store aftershaves, so her Aged Spice and Brute soaps appealed to me.

That's o.k. if you haven't tried them, you can still vote for what sounds best. I am sure they are all good but that's why I am having such a hard time picking. I will definitely let you guys know what I think of whichever ones I try. I am really looking forward to trying these!

Wcoppage, does the spicy lime have a cilantro scent? The pic on the container has cilantro but no mention of it in the description.

Barbershoppe is great as is pipe tobacco and dragons blood.

 

[sparco]

I have never tried mama bears, that being said. Its, lets see. September-Octorber-November now Fall Leaves Fragrance Shaving Soap

 

[CharlieFoxtrot]

A big plus 1 on YOBS. Take one for the team and review the Bacon scent.

 

[rockviper]

Ye Olde BarberShoppe and Hinoki Wood are just fantastic scents. Hydrogen is subtle, and Lemon Rose is a must try!
Dragon's Blood is unique and has a strong scent, which doesn't suit everyone.

The northwoods is a nice mellow piney scent- my favorite- but then again, I live in the Northwoods!

 

[BrookR1]

Ye Olde Barbershoppe really stands out. I've purchased many samples and this is my favorite. Her cologne scents are also very good. If you have been chosen by The Veg, then Lilac Ice. Other great ones are Star Anise, Pipe Tobacco, and Oatmeal Stout.

I wouldn't say it is cilantro. I am not a huge fan of cilantro and I never picked up on that. Kinda like a light musk with lime.

 

[jpipes3]

Barbershoppe and Masculine Musk were my favorites of the dozen samples that I tried.

 

[TonyN]

Hinoki Wood....Awesome scent!!

 

[shep12]

Ye Ole Barbershoppe and Crem Brulea have been my favorites! Mama Bears is really great.

 

[modmlot]

Barbershoppe has too much of a powder note to my nose. It seemed like changing a babies diaper.

I like Lavender/Oakmoss
Lime/Cilantro/Menthol


CHEERS,

Clary sage and lavender is amazing, it's really spicy. I'm going to get some more of that and some Marauder's Citrus soon (tangerine and bay rum, sounds amazing).

Another vote for Ye Olde Barbershoppe.
