Slickest soaps out there
- Thread starter tsellati
- Start date
Barrister and Mann, Tabac, and Stirling are my top 3. If you're looking for lots of slickness, rub some Cremo on as a preshave, then lather on top of that, really boosts the slickness quite a bit.
Edit: Forgot to mention PAA, some of the best soaps out there, with some darn good scents.

I Coloniali with Mango oil
ive heard of this soap here and there but have never been able to find it. where would one purchase it from? all ive seen is a shave cream on amazon for a pretty steep price
Sorry, don’t know myself, unfortunately; I just checked online.

When I load up the lather and am done painting my face with it, I let the brush sit on a marble surface, and here what happens: the brush slides by itself for about at least one inch!

Phoenix and Beau is just a great all-round soap.
It's not mentioned around here so much these days, but I'm also impressed by RazoRock's Dead Sea.

+1 Stirling Soaps
Tabac, Stirling & Mike's
I'm sort of on the same quest & haven't tried a whole lot of soaps, but of the ones I do have, for me it is Tabac, Stirling, and Haslinger.
For my part Modern Williams is one of my best for straight shaving, for me it’s one of the slikest soap I ever used. But any soaps will due for straight shaving, my trick is to make a wet lather.
I'Coloniali and Vintage Williams are head and shoulders above the class for me in terms of just slickness.
It's been out of production for more than a year. You might get lucky on the BST or an auction site, but you would probably have to pay way too much for it. That being said, I hear the cream is about as good as the soap. It is, at least, available.
The Single Blade can be made into a soap. @Cal did an experiment on it here: Proraso "Wood and Spice" SOAP experiment. In case you or the OP would prefer a soap to the cream, or would like to make the large 275 mL bag a little more user friendly...
Let’s see...in no particular order: Tabac, MWF, Declaration Grooming, Mike’s, B&M Reserve, Bufflehead, Stirling, MLS, CFG, SV, Valobra, DR Harris and of course Williams. I’m sure I have forgotten many.
Basically what I am trying to say is that I use all of the same soaps regardless of what type of razor I use. A good lather will work with a piece of broken glass. ;-p

Williams is as slick as anything I’ve ever used. WD-40 may be a bit slicker but I doubt it.

Williams is very slick soap.
My favourites for slickness and protection include, Haslinger, Palmolive, Cella, Captain’s Choice, and Wickham 1912 soaps.
