Williams/Dove mix: 1 puck Williams Mug Soap grated or shaved, 1/2 bar Dove bath soap (Shea Butter, Tangerine or Cucumber) grated or shaved, Mix Williams and Dove well and press into your favorite Ceramic Bowl keeping fingers wet as you press. Makes a fantastic slick, thick, hydrating lather.

- Arko stick & Aqua Velva Ice Blue
I used to love pairing up vintage Williams Mug soap with Classic Ice Blue Aqua Velva, but I ran out of Williams. Arko's cheap price, great lather and old timey, fresh laundry scent is a great replacement soap to go along with Aqua Velva. it goes well with Mennen Skin Bracer also.

Proper 12 if you please!
Lately I’ve been liking Proraso green pre shave, Nor’easter soap, and skin bracer splash. I finish off pretty much everything with Nivea sensitive balm, no matter what other scents are involved.
Any other suggestions for pairing with Nor’easter soap? I really did NOT like the Nor’easter aftershave.

I know this isn’t what you meant, but TOBS (any flavor) and MWF.
Trumpers Violets Cream, D.R. Harris Milk of Cucumbers and Roses, D.R. Harris Pink Aftershave.
I'm an everyday shaver and to be honest I'm still looking for that perfect combination...or maybe I just like buying new soaps and splashes! I don't know that I have a favorite combo, but as ho hum as it seems, every time I use the Proaso Green set (pre-shave, soap and balm) I seem to have "the best shave ever!". There's something about that old school combo that just works!
I try all different combinations, love a bunch of soaps, love a bunch of splashes, and have several balms...but the Proaso Green set is just hard to beat! Though I'm still looking
