Gentlemen's Best
In no particular order:
Tabac
MWF
L'Occitane Cade
Valobra (stick)
Speick (stick)
I haven't tried the AoS products but their sandalwood is highly regarded here.
The two best still in production are Czech & Speake and Art of Shaving. For pure lather, it's AoS. For scent and a good blend of lather & slip C&S.
Col Conk Almond is a respectable Soap. Smells good and works fine, however spending a little bit more for a better soap that will actually last you longer is the way to go IMO. Here is a few excellent soaps that I will recommend...
Tabac, Provence Sante, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Arko, Palmolive, Speick, Prairie Creations, and Mama Bear.

MWF for my money. But there are so many more to try.
Speick sticks are darn good, too.

I'm using TOBS Sandlewood currently and its the best I've tried so far.
MWF.
I use creams, but that soaps got a permenant home in my rotation.

Try Proraso or Omega shave soap ...and Gold Dachs.
Same. I'm a vast majority cream user but I've discovered tallow soaps and I'm just starting to try a few different ones. MWF and Ralph Lauren Safari are both excellent soaps. I'm going to try Irisch Moos today.
If you're only buying one....Tabac. If two.....Tabac and Cella!

Tabac
I started with Tabac. It lathers like a champ, and it's manly. What's not to like?
Pre de Provence is up there, too.
Of the soaps that I have tried, my top 3 would be:
- Tabac
- Pre de Provence
- Poraso
Can't say what's best for you.
On the "you should try them" list, I'd put
Tabac (or Sir Irisch Moos, if you don't like the Tabac scent)
Palmolive stick
La Toja stick
These are soaps I like that seem to get a lot of love around here.
Soaps I want to try, and you should, too
Pre De Provence
Provence Sante
Cella
MWF
AOS Sandalwood
There are more that I've tried and liked a lot, but they are either in the "really good but not great" category, or seem to be favorites of mine but in the YMMV category for others. I've also left off several vintage soaps I think are great but you'd have to hunt them down.

Obviously when you ask a question regarding the "best soap" people have different ways to rank their choices. If you are looking for ease of use and quality of lather, I think that it is hard to go past Tabac. For the whole experience, there are plenty of more luxurious soaps out there too.
Proraso soap in the green bowl in an excellent product.
Very refreshing, slick and moisturizing.
For a perferct shave.
