Pick only one soap: what would it be and why?

[MTG Jr]

I’ve never tried Tabac either. Might have to pick up a sample.

 

[Whilliam]

Cella!

Grooming Department - Laundry!! All of his soaps perform excellent but I just love scent of Laundry.

Just one soap? Unthinkable; I can't say.

 

[Pepin]

That would be Tabac.
It has a very nice fragrance, it is easy to lather, and the lather it produces is slick and silky.
Always have had great shaves using this soap.

I love this thread. Frankly, I wish that I could find an unscented soap that isn't MWF (I know its great but I hate it). I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I haven't tried Tabac yet but I will be buying some soon as I'm done here. I'm really tempted to aftershave balm and Eau de Cologne Splash too. The reason I wish I could find something I really like that is scentless is so I can then use any balm and cologne with it. I personally find scented soap worthless. I just bought a bunch of the unscented soap from Stirling, but though I like Stirling the two soaps regardless of scent I get the best lather from consistently are Mikes and (god forbid) PAA.

While Tabac is my favorite soap, I hope you're not expecting an unscented soap when you buy it, because it most certainly is NOT unscented (in the best possible way though).

I'll assume you mean after it's been washed

I can see how you easily got that from my post but know I'm fully aware it is scented and that people like the scent. Which is why I also mentioned considering purchasing their aftershave balm and cologne. I would prefer to not be scented but I realize that is not the case. I much appreciate your concern that I understand that.

Tabac

I have a couple of pucks of Tabac in reserve.
Just in case they stop making it.

LOL - No, I prefer dirty laundry.

No worries, I figured that you knew that, but thought I might as well through that out there just in case!

Tough question... probably MDC or Valobra.

I couldn’t resist. I knew you meant after. I agree that, and clothes dried outdoors on a clothesline have a nice comforting scent to them. So GD nails the scent on that one?

For me I think my one soap would be La Toja.

 

[Darktrader]

One soap? That's heresy!

Though I've never actually tried Tabac, I can't believe that no one has pointed out the obvious here, you've got serious problem there!!

First choice would be Shannonssoaps.com "Trial 1" She sent me a sample of the regular formula and later a goat's milk formula. I think she's gonna name it "Botanica", but it's amazingly slick and smells great. It's really close in ranking to my #2: Grated equal parts of Williams Puck and Lea stick - smells a lot nicer than Williams alone ...

Cella has great performance and a cheap price. The scent seems hard to get tired of.

I could be happy with any one of (in alphabetical order):

• Haslinger
• MWF
• Tabac

All are readily available, lather well for me and just work day in and day out.
