This is an easy one for me. D.R. Harris Arlington.
VDH Deluxe, or Cella.

DR Harris Windsor is my favourite scent of all time. I can often be caught opening the wooden bowl for a smell of it. This was my first soap and it’s a tough act to follow.

I’m the same. It’s such a good performer and the fougere is really on point. Smells natural, bright and green. Dolomiti has a strong following and it’s currently high on my must try list. From the description Tundra could be very nice too. I just wish that they hadn’t discontinued the limited edition tins. I’d love to get my hands on one but they are as rare as hens teeth.

I know it’s a tough question but I’m going to have to press you for an answer. No fence sitting guys. Which one and why?
Without a doubt Murphy and McNeil Nantahala. As this is a limited production soap, Declaration Grooming Milksteak would be my choice. I find myself reaching for it more than anything lately.
Saponificio varesino
Stirling Orange Chill. I love menthol and citrus and this one does it all.
Cella!
An other Vote for Murphy and McNeil Nantahala
Tabac
Speick Stick or MWF
There can be only one answer to such a question.
Tabac
*only* soap.
OK, that's a trickier question than it at first appears. Only soap means it has to be portable for travel from tradeshows to extended trips to BFE, must work with any water, must not have a scent that collides with any cologne or any scent in and of itself strong enough to get old after years of use, and is affordable whether you're in the chips or not. The only two shaving lubricants I know of that fit those bills are Palmolive stick and Noxzema (technically not a soap)
So... if it's "only" and "soap" then... Palmolive Stick. Unfortunately the looney brigands just stopped making it ;-)
Noxzema it is! (Or CeraVe, actually. Traveling and used it this morning before I had access to water and it worked fine - decent comfortable 2pass with a Personna Lab Blue in a Gillette Heritage which I brought because it came in a case and I was packing on short notice tossing things into a backpack) Go figure. All the pompe and circumstance I usually accord to such things and I got a perfectly good shave using the selfie-cam on my phone, hand lotion, no water or aftershave, just a hand-towel to wipe down after shaving. Lol

I would have expected someone to put Mike’s forward by now. It’s a very close second for me.
