Post your Favourite 5 soaps and let your fellow B&Bers recommend another soap for you to try!

[J-MN]

1) Santa Maria Novella (Cream)
2) Saponificio Varesino, Dolomiti
3) Saponificio Varesino, Cosmo
4) Saponificio Varesino, Cubebe
5) Speick Stick

AoS Sandalwood (Tallow) would have made the cut instead of Speick, but I left it off since it's no longer available.

 

[J-MN]

1. SV Desert Vetiver
2. Mitchell's Wool Fat
3. SV Cosmo
4. MDC Vetyver
5. SV 70th Anniversary

So sue me, I like SV and think they are geniuses at scent, and have an amazing soap base.

I included three SV soaps, too. Perhaps a bit boring, but I just love the stuff.

 

[J-MN]

Only five?
1. Aqua di Parma
2. Baume BE (cream)
3. MdC Original
4. Mitchells Wool Fat
5. Saponificio Varesino Cubebe

Honourable mention:
6. Fitjar Islands (cream)
7. Musgo Real (cream)

I have not included only items that are currently in production. My advise is that everyone try Baume BE cream and the matching balm.

Baume.BE is next on my list of soaps/creams that I'd like to try.

I seem to be gravitating toward Italian soaps:

Saponifico Varesino Mirto di Sardegna
Grooming Dept Lavender
Panna Crema Nuavia Blu
Ethos Lavender Supreme

 

[old_school]

Officina Artigiana Milano Stay Traditional
Saponifico Varesino Mirto di Sardegna
Grooming Dept Lavender
Panna Crema Nuavia Blu
Ethos Lavender Supreme

If you like Stay Traditional and Ethos soaps, Ethos Greenfresh is a no brainer if you don’t already have it. Might be redundant though as it is very similar to Stay Traditional in scent and texture. I absolutely love both and match the Stay Traditional soap with the Greenfresh AS.

You’re speaking my language. I think you would like the paolo barrasso red and blue soaps. I like the red more, but I’m a fan of florals. The blue will be more along the lines of stuff you listed.

 

[BigJ]

My current ‘top five’
Haslinger’s (all eight options)
PdP (both options)
MWF
Cella
NOS Fine hard soaps (platinum, lavender pour homme, santal absolut, American blend)

Thanks for the suggestion. I love the performance of the one Ethos soap I have.

Pretty sure tfs makes it and mastro miche distributes it. It’s really good soap if you like soft soaps.
