What's new

New soap recommendation, please?

I already have the following soaps in my rotation:

Tabac
GFT Blue Oxford
C&E Sweet Almond Oil
Cella
Pre de Provence

I would like to add just one more soap for the time being. Which soap should it be?
 
Everybody needs a menthol kick every now and then. Santa Maria Novella would be ideal, but it's expensive and not all that much better than the green Proraso. So, one of those is my suggestion depending on your budget.
 
This will probably be the first of many recommendations for D.R. Harris soap. My favorite is Windsor followed closely by Arlington. Marlborough gets a lot of recommendations for a good winter soap.
 
DR Harris and MWF are must haves for main stream stuff. For my $$$, I would go with Mike's Natural or Mystic Water soaps. Two awesome artisan brands that offer many choices in scents at a very reasonable price and outstanding customer service. Plus they deliver outstanding shaving properties and skin care.

Mike's is great. Another one I'd throw into the mix is Speick. It's only available as a stick, but you can shred it with a cheese grater and pack it into a bowl...works the same as a puck.
 
Valobra Menthol or RazoRock XXX

the 2 best soaps I've used, failing that the Proraso Green is a good sub for the Valobra.
 
I've whittled all my "software" down to MWF. I love the smell and its moisturizing properties can't be beat. Plus, if you can lather it you can lather anything.
 
The fat is a must have soap in every shave den

Speick stick, Klar Kabinett, TFS are all top notch performers.

Speick is a peppery herbal smell to my nose. Klar Kab is rose. TFS has hard soaps available in two different scents currently, the Tabaco Verde is nice, but I can't really describe it offhand.
